Product details
Overview
SMPC22AN-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in the SMPC (TO-277A) package, rated for 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), and 42.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC22AN-M3/I datasheet, SMPC22AN-M3/I pinout, SMPC22AN-M3/I application, or SMPC22AN-M3/I equivalent, this device delivers low-profile TVS protection with AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction - critical for high-reliability board-level surge suppression in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The SMPC22AN-M3/I operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, clamping transients above its breakdown threshold while maintaining ≤1 μA reverse leakage at 22 V. Its 1.1 mm typical height and TO-277A footprint enable automated placement on dense PCBs without thermal derating penalties beyond 25 °C ambient.
Designed for 10/1000 μs surge waveforms, it achieves 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage at 42.3 A IPPM and exhibits 85–100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4 with 2 oz copper - enabling robust transient energy dissipation without heatsinking in most applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-M3/86A | Same VWM (22 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost or legacy footprint prioritized over automotive reliability or high-power surge margin |
| SMCJ22A-M3/57T | Same VWM (22 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC package (larger footprint, 2.3 mm height) | Requires more PCB area; suitable where thermal mass improves long-pulse handling | Select when board layout allows larger package and enhanced thermal inertia is beneficial for repetitive surges |
Compared with SMAJ22A-M3/86A and SMCJ22A-M3/57T, the SMPC22AN-M3/I provides identical 22 V standoff and 1500 W surge rating in a lower-profile, AEC-Q101-qualified package - delivering superior space efficiency and automotive compliance without sacrificing clamping performance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMPC22AN-M3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMPC22AN-M3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated 42.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured with cathode mounted on heatsink per datasheet test conditions and ensures downstream components remain within safe voltage limits during surge events.
Is the SMPC22AN-M3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMPC22AN-M3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the SMPC22AN through SMPC85AN family. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - making SMPC22AN-M3/I suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability is mission-critical.
What does the "I" suffix in SMPC22AN-M3/I indicate?
The "I" suffix in SMPC22AN-M3/I specifies the preferred packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 6500 units. This differs from the "H" suffix (7-inch reel, 1500 units) and ensures compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly lines requiring extended reel lengths.
How does the SMPC22AN-M3/I differ from the non-"N" variant SMPC22A?
The SMPC22AN-M3/I is the AEC-Q101 qualified version, whereas SMPC22A is the industrial-grade variant. Both share identical electrical specs (VWM = 22 V, VBR = 24.4–26.9 V, PPPM = 1500 W), but only SMPC22AN variants undergo automotive qualification testing and carry the HM3 ordering code option for full AEC compliance.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMPC22AN-M3/I on a standard FR4 PCB?
The SMPC22AN-M3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 85 °C/W and a maximum of 100 °C/W when mounted on FR4 PCB with 2 oz copper and the standard footprint defined in Vishay document 89116. This enables reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature under specified power dissipation limits.
