Product details
Overview
TPSMA22HE3/5AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 22 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 20.9–23.1 V at 1 mA), 30.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.1 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - ideal for automotive power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA22HE3/5AT datasheet, TPSMA22HE3/5AT pinout, TPSMA22HE3/5AT application, or TPSMA22HE3/5AT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring robust ESD/surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges on 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits 0.084 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, enabling predictable voltage threshold behavior under thermal stress in engine bay or power module environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 20.9 / 22.0 / 23.1 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for 24 V nominal systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 13.1 A - limits downstream voltage stress during 400 W transient events |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - supports industrial-grade surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| VWM | 18.8 V - ensures reliable blocking of normal 24 V rail operation without leakage |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA max - minimizes standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters, motor drivers) |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - industry-standard SMD footprint with 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad requirement for thermal derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Same SMA package, 22 V VBR, but lower PPPM = 400 W (same rating), higher VC = 35.5 V at 11.3 A | Less stringent clamping; suitable where margin allows higher let-through voltage | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial use where AEC-Q101 is not required |
| SMCJ22A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VBR, higher PPPM = 1500 W, VC = 35.5 V at 42.3 A | Requires larger PCB area; used where higher energy absorption is needed | Preferred for high-energy surge zones (e.g., main power entry), not drop-in replacement due to footprint mismatch |
Compared with SMAJ22A and SMCJ22A, the TPSMA22HE3/5AT offers tighter clamping (30.6 V vs. ≥35.5 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, and optimized thermal performance for space-constrained automotive modules - making it the preferred choice where low VC and high-reliability validation are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMA22HE3/5AT?
The TPSMA22HE3/5AT has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports design margining for 24 V nominal systems where VBR must exceed steady-state rail voltage while remaining below downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. The TPSMA22HE3/5AT datasheet specifies this range in its Electrical Characteristics table.
Is TPSMA22HE3/5AT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMA22HE3/5AT is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It undergoes stress testing including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing to meet automotive reliability requirements. The TPSMA22HE3/5AT is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product documentation.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMA22HE3/5AT under surge conditions?
The TPSMA22HE3/5AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V at 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under defined PCB mounting conditions (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a 400 W transient event. The TPSMA22HE3/5AT achieves a clamping ratio of 1.39 (VC/VBR), indicating efficient transient suppression.
Does TPSMA22HE3/5AT have moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?
Yes, TPSMA22HE3/5AT meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum lead-free reflow peak temperature of 260 °C. This means the device can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and placed directly into standard lead-free reflow ovens without baking or special handling - simplifying manufacturing for high-volume automotive and industrial assembly lines. The TPSMA22HE3/5AT packaging and molding compound are validated for this rating.
What is the operating temperature range of TPSMA22HE3/5AT?
The TPSMA22HE3/5AT operates across a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +185 °C, verified per Vishay's qualification testing. This extended range supports deployment in extreme environments such as engine compartments, power inverters, and outdoor telecom enclosures. The TPSMA22HE3/5AT maintains specified electrical parameters throughout this range, with VBR drift compensated by a known temperature coefficient of 0.084 %/°C.
