Product details
Overview
SMF22A-HM3_A18 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), 35.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, and 271 pF typical capacitance at 0 V - ideal for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMF22A-HM3_A18 datasheet, SMF22A-HM3_A18 pinout, SMF22A-HM3_A18 application, or SMF22A-HM3_A18 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned with Vishay's Rev. 2.4 (04-Jul-2023) specification for the SMF22A family.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel, unidirectional TVS diode optimized for low-capacitance, high-surge robustness protection. Its silicon avalanche structure enables sub-nanosecond response to ESD transients while maintaining tight clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge conditions.
The SMF22A-HM3_A18 complies with AEC-Q101 (H3B-class ESD > 8 kV HBM) and IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air), and is rated for continuous operation from –65 °C to +175 °C - supporting automotive infotainment, industrial PLC I/O, and ruggedized communication ports.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets safe margin above 18–20 V system rails. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 35.5 V max at 5.6 A IPPM - limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 μs surges; ensures logic-level compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V interfaces. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - sustains defined surge energy without failure; correlates to 200 W peak power rating. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 271 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) signal integrity; avoids excessive rise-time degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for consumer and industrial end-equipment. |
| Operating Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive, motor drive control, and wide-temperature industrial deployments. |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm low-profile outline enabling dense PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SMF22A-HM3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: cathode-bar marked, two-terminal SMD device with anode and cathode leads formed into gull-wing configuration. Molded epoxy body meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Input side of protected line | Connected to signal trace requiring ESD protection; referenced to ground via cathode path during clamping. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground plane; provides low-impedance discharge path for transients; marked by bar on top surface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low incremental surge resistance | Enables tighter clamping (35.5 V @ 5.6 A) vs. higher-resistance alternatives - reduces voltage overshoot across protected ICs. |
| "Low Noise" fast-response technology | Sub-nanosecond turn-on time minimizes transient propagation delay - critical for high-speed serial links like USB and CAN FD. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including H3B-class HBM (> 8 kV), ensuring suitability for infotainment and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| SOD-123W/SOD-123F footprint compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement or layout reuse across Vishay's eSMP® platform - simplifies BOM consolidation and second-source qualification. |
Applications

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 38.9 V clamping (VC) at same 5.6 A IPPM; SMA package (larger, 4.5 × 2.7 mm). | Less suitable for space-constrained USB/HDMI layouts; better for higher-energy surges where footprint permits. | Select when board area allows larger package and higher clamping is acceptable for 22 V rail systems. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 15 pF ultra-low capacitance; lower 12 V VRWM; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Optimized for high-speed USB 3.0/MIPI; insufficient for 22 V industrial sensor lines or automotive temp range. | Choose only for <1 Gbps digital interfaces requiring <20 pF; avoid for 22 V standoff or automotive deployment. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF22A-HM3_A18 uniquely balances 22 V standoff, 271 pF capacitance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-219AB miniaturization - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 22 V interface protection where both ESD robustness and signal fidelity matter.
