Product details
Overview
SMF22A-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for transient voltage suppression in high-speed data lines. It features a 22 V standoff voltage (VRWM), 24.4–27 V reverse breakdown (VBR), 5.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 271 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF22A-HM3-08 datasheet, SMF22A-HM3-08 pinout, SMF22A-HM3-08 application, or SMF22A-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and low incremental surge resistance for robust signal integrity preservation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity, leveraging silicon avalanche technology to clamp transients before downstream ICs are damaged. Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective protection of 3.3 V–24 V logic and interface circuits against ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surges.
The SMF22A-HM3-08 is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 1000 W (8/20 μs), and supports reflow/wave soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1. Its thermal resistance (RthJA = 180 K/W) and junction temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C) support operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 μA |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 24.4–27 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche onset ensures predictable clamping threshold |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 35.5 V at 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - limits voltage seen by protected IC to safe margin below damage threshold |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - defines maximum transient energy the device can safely divert without degradation |
| Capacitance (CD) | 271 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and RS-485, but not suitable for USB 3.x or PCIe |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for end-equipment certification |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm low-profile outline enabling dense PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/5A | Higher clamping voltage (41.5 V), larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm), same 22 V VRWM | Less suitable for space-constrained USB/HDMI designs due to 2.3× larger footprint and higher inductance | Select when higher surge margin (400 W peak power) is prioritized over board area and signal integrity |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 15 pF per line, 5.5 V VRWM, integrated ESD array in 1.4 × 1.0 mm USON | Designed for ultra-low-capacitance high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 3.0, MIPI), not compatible with 22 V systems | Choose only for multi-line, low-voltage, high-frequency applications requiring <20 pF loading |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5A and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF22A-HM3-08 delivers optimal balance of compact size, 22 V system compatibility, and proven ESD robustness for mid-speed industrial and consumer interfaces - without sacrificing surge handling or thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMF22A-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF22A-HM3-08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 5.6 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured under standardized surge conditions and guarantees that protected circuitry sees no more than 35.5 V during transient events - critical for safeguarding 24 V-rated receivers and 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. The SMF22A-HM3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMF22A-HM3-08 AEC-Q101 qualified?
The SMF22A-HM3-08 is part of Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified SMF family, with qualification confirmed in the official datasheet revision 2.4. While the specific HM3-08 suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance, the underlying die and construction meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD. For automotive use, confirm qualification status via Vishay's official part search using "SMF22A" as base number.
What does the 'HM3' in SMF22A-HM3-08 signify?
The 'HM3' in SMF22A-HM3-08 indicates Vishay's environmental and quality code: 'H' denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, 'M3' specifies lead (Pb)-free terminations with matte tin plating and compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This coding aligns with Vishay's standardized ordering nomenclature shown in the SMF datasheet's "Ordering Information" table, confirming both reliability and regulatory conformance for the SMF22A-HM3-08.
Can SMF22A-HM3-08 be used in bidirectional signal lines?
No - SMF22A-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC-biased or ground-referenced lines. Its electrical characteristics (e.g., 22 V VRWM, cathode-anode polarity) assume a fixed voltage reference. For bidirectional AC-coupled or floating lines like RS-485 differential pairs, a dual-diode configuration or dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ22CA is required. Using SMF22A-HM3-08 on truly bidirectional paths risks forward conduction and signal distortion.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for SMF22A-HM3-08?
The SMF22A-HM3-08 carries an MSL level 1 rating per J-STD-020, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry-pack requirements or floor-life limitations. This simplifies handling, eliminates bake-out steps prior to reflow, and supports standard SMT assembly processes - a key advantage for high-volume manufacturing of industrial and automotive electronics using the SMF22A-HM3-08.
