Product details
Overview
SMP22-M3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in DO-220AA (SMP) package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 22 V standoff voltage (VWM), and clamping at 35.5 V under 11.3 A surge current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs in industrial power supplies against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMP22-M3/84A datasheet, SMP22-M3/84A pinout, SMP22-M3/84A application, or SMP22-M3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCBs, MSL Level 1 rating, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and 150 °C max junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode with precise breakdown voltage range of 24.4 V to 26.9 V at 1 mA test current, enabling reliable overvoltage clamping before downstream circuit damage occurs. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of sub-microsecond transients induced by relay switching or motor commutation.
The SMP22-M3/84A is thermally optimized with 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. It meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMP22A-M3/84A | Same electrical specs and package; identical marking code BX and VBR range (24.4–26.9 V); differs only in ordering suffix format (no hyphen vs. hyphenated) | No functional difference; both meet same Vishay specification 88481 Rev. 11-Dec-12 | Select SMP22A-M3/84A if legacy BOM references unhyphenated part number; otherwise SMP22-M3/84A is preferred per current Vishay documentation |
| SMCJ22A | DO-214AB package (larger footprint, 2.4 mm height); 400 W rating but higher clamping voltage (35.5 V → 37.5 V) and lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 18 °C/W) | Better thermal performance in high-power continuous surge scenarios; unsuitable for ultra-thin designs due to height constraint | Choose SMCJ22A only when board-level thermal management requires lower RθJA and Z-height >1.0 mm is acceptable |
Compared with SMP22A-M3/84A, the SMP22-M3/84A offers identical protection performance in the same compact DO-220AA footprint; versus SMCJ22A, it trades thermal margin for 60 % lower profile-critical for modern slim-form-factor industrial modules where vertical clearance is limited to <1.1 mm.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of the SMP22-M3/84A?
The SMP22-M3/84A has a reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 22 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level under normal operation. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures compatibility with 24 V nominal industrial control systems while providing sufficient margin before breakdown at 24.4 V minimum.
Does the SMP22-M3/84A meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the SMP22-M3/84A carries the M3 suffix, confirming full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709A halogen-free standards. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants, and the matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for the SMP22-M3/84A during a transient event?
The SMP22-M3/84A clamps to a maximum of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 11.3 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This clamping voltage is measured at the device terminals and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge conditions.
Can the SMP22-M3/84A be used in automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the SMP22-M3/84A is designed for automated placement with its DO-220AA (SMP) package, 1.0 mm typical height, and matte tin-plated leads. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, supporting standard lead-free PCB assembly without preconditioning.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the SMP22-M3/84A?
The SMP22-M3/84A has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 250 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and informs derating curves for sustained surge duty cycles above 25 °C ambient.
