Product details
Overview
SMF22A-HM3_A08 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 stand-off 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 junction capacitance at 0 V - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial I/O port protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMF22A-HM3_A08 datasheet, SMF22A-HM3_A08 pinout, SMF22A-HM3_A08 application, or SMF22A-HM3_A08 equivalent, this device delivers ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification, low 1.08 mm profile, and compatibility with wave/reflow soldering - critical for automotive infotainment, industrial HMI, and ruggedized communication interfaces.
Technical Context
The SMF22A-HM3_A08 operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity, leveraging silicon avalanche clamping to divert ESD transients before system damage. Its 10/1000 μs waveform rating supports 200 W peak pulse power, while its 8/20 μs IEC 61000-4-5 rating enables 1000 W surge handling - essential for interface-level protection in mixed-signal environments.
Designed for low-noise, fast-response operation, it achieves sub-nanosecond response time and exhibits stable clamping behavior across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range. Its 0.1 μA max reverse leakage at VRWM ensures minimal signal loading on high-impedance lines such as sensor inputs and analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 22 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; suitable for 18–20 V nominal bus systems. |
| Reverse Breakdown (VBR) | 24.4–27 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage without false clamping. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 35.5 V at 5.6 A IPPM - limits downstream voltage stress during ESD events to protect 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 271 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - balances ESD robustness and signal integrity for <100 Mbps digital lines. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 requirements for end-equipment certification. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HBM >8 kV and temperature cycling (-65 °C to +175 °C). |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm low-profile outline enabling dense PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SMF22A-HM3_A08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: anodic cathode-marked, two-terminal surface-mount device with cathode band indicating terminal 1. The package conforms to JEDEC MO-229 and is compatible with SOD-123W footprint recommendations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 (cathode) | Protected line connection | Connected to signal line requiring ESD protection; clamps to ground when transient exceeds VBR. |
| Terminal 2 (anode) | Ground reference | Must be tied to low-inductance system ground plane to ensure effective transient diversion and minimize voltage overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/57T | Higher 400 W peak power (400 W @ 10/1000 μs), larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm), 43.5 V VC at 5.2 A. | Preferred where higher surge margin is needed but board space allows larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-thin designs. | Select SMAJ22A-E3/57T if system-level surge testing requires >200 W margin and height constraint is relaxed. |
| TPD2E007DRYR | 2-channel bidirectional array, 10 pF CD, 12 V VRWM, 15 kV ESD rating - not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Targeted at low-capacitance USB/SDIO protection; lacks automotive qualification and 22 V standoff capability. | Choose TPD2E007DRYR only for non-automotive, high-speed (<480 Mbps), low-voltage (≤3.6 V) interfaces where capacitance is critical. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/57T and TPD2E007DRYR, SMF22A-HM3_A08 uniquely balances 22 V standoff, AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.08 mm height, and ±30 kV ESD rating - making it optimal for space-limited automotive and industrial control applications demanding full IEC 61000-4-2 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMF22A-HM3_A08 under specified test conditions?
The SMF22A-HM3_A08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 5.6 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the Electrical Characteristics table in Vishay's Document Number 85881 Rev. 2.4 and ensures downstream ICs operating at 3.3 V or 5 V remain within safe voltage margins during ESD events.
Is SMF22A-HM3_A08 qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that qualification cover?
Yes, SMF22A-HM3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, covering stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, ESD (HBM >8 kV), and mechanical shock. This qualification confirms suitability for automotive applications such as infotainment, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability over extended temperature ranges (-65 °C to +175 °C) is mandatory.
What is the junction capacitance of SMF22A-HM3_A08, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The SMF22A-HM3_A08 exhibits 271 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value is appropriate for protecting USB 2.0, RS-485, and industrial CAN FD lines where signal rise times exceed ~1 ns, but may limit use in >1 Gbps interfaces like USB 3.0 or PCIe - where lower-capacitance alternatives (e.g., <5 pF arrays) would be required instead.
Can SMF22A-HM3_A08 be used in bidirectional signal protection applications?
No, SMF22A-HM3_A08 is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC-biased lines with defined polarity (e.g., 24 V inputs, USB VBUS). For bidirectional AC-coupled or symmetric signal lines like RS-232 or Ethernet, a bidirectional variant such as SMF22CA-HM3_A08 - which features symmetrical clamping in both directions - must be selected instead.
What is the recommended PCB footprint and soldering profile for SMF22A-HM3_A08?
The SMF22A-HM3_A08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package and aligns with SOD-123W footprint recommendations: 2.9 mm pad length, 1.3 mm pad width, and 1.4 mm center-to-center spacing. Reflow soldering must follow J-STD-020 MSL level 1 guidelines, with peak temperature not exceeding 260 °C for ≤30 seconds - verified in Vishay's Package Data section.
