Product details
Overview
TPSMA22AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping inductive switching and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 22 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 20.9–23.1 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 30.6 V maximum clamping voltage at 13.1 A, 185 °C junction temperature rating, and SMA (DO-214AC) package - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H datasheet, TPSMA22AHM3_B/H pinout, TPSMA22AHM3_B/H application, or TPSMA22AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, TJ = 185 °C capability, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and compliance with MSL level 1 reflow requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and it delivers consistent performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature range.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 18.8 V stand-off voltage, and maintains stable VBR with a temperature coefficient of +0.084 %/°C - enabling predictable overvoltage protection in thermally demanding automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 20.9 V / 22.0 V / 23.1 V - defines precise voltage threshold at which clamping initiates under 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - clamped voltage during 400 W transient, limiting downstream IC stress to safe levels |

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 | Same VBR range (20.9–23.1 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W (same), non-AEC-Q101 rated, MSL Level 1 confirmed | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs |
| TPSMA22AHE3_B/H | Identical electrical specs and package, but RoHS-compliant with lead-free plating only (no halogen-free claim) | Not halogen-free; may not meet Tier 1 automotive material declarations | Choose when halogen-free compliance is not mandated but AEC-Q101 and RoHS are required |
Compared with SMAJ22A and TPSMA22AHE3_B/H, the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H uniquely combines halogen-free construction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 185 °C junction rating - making it the only option qualified for next-generation automotive power domain controllers requiring full material compliance and extended thermal operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H under a 400 W transient?
The TPSMA22AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V when subjected to its rated 400 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at 13.1 A peak pulse current and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during surge events. The TPSMA22AHM3_B/H achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance and stable thermal behavior up to 185 °C junction temperature.
Is the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3", which denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It meets rigorous automotive reliability tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) per JESD22 standards. The TPSMA22AHM3_B/H is intended for use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where automotive-grade qualification is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in TPSMA22AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in TPSMA22AHM3_B/H identifies the device as halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified - distinguishing it from the "HE3" variant, which is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified but not halogen-free. The "B/H" denotes packaging: 7-inch tape-and-reel with 1800 units per reel. This suffix directly maps to Vishay's material compliance and qualification framework, ensuring traceability for automotive Tier 1 suppliers and industrial OEMs requiring full substance declaration.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H, and why does it matter?
The TPSMA22AHM3_B/H has a maximum working standoff voltage (VWM) of 18.8 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance blocking mode below this voltage with ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage. This parameter ensures compatibility with 18 V nominal systems (e.g., automotive 12 V + load dump margin) while providing sufficient headroom above normal operating voltage to avoid false triggering. Selecting a TVS with appropriate VWM prevents unnecessary conduction during normal operation - a critical design consideration for the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H in always-on automotive modules.
Can the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H be used in place of TPSMA22AHE3_B/H?
The TPSMA22AHM3_B/H can serve as a direct functional replacement for TPSMA22AHE3_B/H in most designs, as both share identical electrical specifications, package (SMA), and AEC-Q101 qualification. However, the TPSMA22AHM3_B/H adds halogen-free construction - required for certain automotive Tier 1 material declarations - whereas the HE3 version is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free. No PCB layout change is needed, but material compliance documentation must be updated when substituting TPSMA22AHM3_B/H for TPSMA22AHE3_B/H.
