Product details
Overview
T15B22AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), clamps at 30.6 V under 50.7 A surge, and operates up to 185 °C junction temperature - deployed on signal lines of automotive sensor units and MOSFET gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the T15B22AHM3/H datasheet, T15B22AHM3/H pinout, T15B22AHM3/H application, or T15B22AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, 22 V nominal breakdown voltage, and 10.0 μA max reverse leakage at 18.8 V stand-off voltage.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range. Its unidirectional polarity and 0.084 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR enable predictable voltage threshold shift in high-temperature automotive environments.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity (±30 kV contact/air discharge) and is rated for MSL Level 1 reflow (260 °C peak). Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating is defined per 10/1000 μs waveform with non-repetitive surge capability derated above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 20.9 / 22.0 / 23.1 V - defines precise breakdown onset for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - clamping voltage at 50.7 A peak pulse current, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 μs transient |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive locations without thermal derating |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2) - protects against human-body-model and contact-discharge events |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive electronic systems per stress-test requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated terminals, cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Anode-to-cathode conduction path during overvoltage | Connected to protected line; conducts when transient exceeds VBR, shunting energy to ground |
| Anode | Reference/return path for clamping current | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane to complete surge current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation optimized design | Enables stable VBR and low leakage over lifetime and temperature cycling |
| 185 °C junction rating | Supports placement near heat sources in engine control modules and ADAS ECUs |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Permits single-pass lead-free reflow without moisture-induced damage |
| Unidirectional configuration | Protects DC-biased lines (e.g., CAN, LIN, sensor supply rails) without forward-conduction interference |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk to downstream ICs |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Signal Protection | Power MOSFET Gate Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A | Same SMB package, 22 V VBR, but lower PPPM = 600 W and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Rated for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature or reliability stress tests | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| TPSMA6L22A | 22 V VBR, 1500 W PPPM, AEC-Q101 qualified, but higher VC = 35.5 V at same IPPM | Clamps ~4.9 V higher than T15B22AHM3/H, increasing stress on downstream components | Choose if board layout requires alternate footprint compatibility (SMA vs SMB) and higher clamping is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ22A and TPSMA6L22A, the T15B22AHM3/H offers superior clamping performance (30.6 V vs ≥35.5 V) and full automotive qualification in the industry-standard SMB outline - critical for safety-critical sensor and communication circuits where voltage margin and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the T15B22AHM3/H under peak surge conditions?
The T15B22AHM3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 50.7 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and ensures downstream components remain within safe voltage limits during transient events. The T15B22AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low 0.084 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient.
Is the T15B22AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the T15B22AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature. It meets IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity (±30 kV contact/air), MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak), and is constructed with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials - all verified per Vishay's automotive qualification protocol. The T15B22AHM3/H is intended for deployment in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in T15B22AHM3/H?
"HM3" denotes Vishay's halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The "/H" suffix specifies packaging in 7" diameter plastic tape and reel, with 750 units per reel. This marking confirms the T15B22AHM3/H meets stringent automotive material and assembly reliability standards required for modern vehicle platforms.
How does the T15B22AHM3/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in CAN bus protection?
The T15B22AHM3/H is unidirectional and optimized for DC-biased lines like 12 V supplies or single-ended sensor outputs. In CAN bus protection, two T15B22AHM3/H devices (one per line) provide lower clamping voltage and faster response than most bidirectional equivalents - critical for preserving signal integrity at 1 Mbps. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, the T15B22AHM3/H avoids forward conduction during normal bus signaling, eliminating potential distortion of differential waveforms.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the T15B22AHM3/H at its stand-off voltage?
At its maximum stand-off voltage (VWM) of 18.8 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the T15B22AHM3/H guarantees a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA. At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage remains ≤10.0 μA - ensuring minimal power loss and signal degradation in always-on automotive subsystems. This low leakage is maintained across the full VWM range and supports precision analog front-end protection in the T15B22AHM3/H.
