Product details
Overview
TPSMB22AHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features 22 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 20.9–23.1 V at IT = 1 mA), 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 30.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 19.6 A peak pulse current, 600 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 TPSMB22AHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB22AHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB22AHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB22AHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB package thermal and mechanical compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, and high-temperature reliability in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with optimized junction passivation for stable breakdown behavior across temperature. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support reflow soldering at 260 °C peak and long-term operation in under-hood automotive environments.
It delivers 30.6 V clamping voltage at 19.6 A (10/1000 µs), with low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients before sensitive downstream ICs or MOSFETs are damaged. The device is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses and 75 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 20.9 / 22.0 / 23.1 V at 1 mA - defines precise voltage threshold where clamping initiates reliably |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage without leakage exceeding 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 19.6 A - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge |

| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad thermal requirement |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB22AHE3/5BT is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) plastic package with two terminals: cathode (marked by color band) and anode. The package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line; absorbs transient energy into ground path during overvoltage events |
| Anode | Reference/return node | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JEDEC standards |
| Junction passivation design | Minimizes parameter drift over lifetime and improves stability under high-temperature bias conditions |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Reduces stress on downstream components by limiting overshoot during fast transients |
| 75 A IFSM (8.3 ms) | Withstands high-energy load-dump events common in 12 V automotive electrical systems |

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 VBR range (20.9–23.1 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W and VC = 35.5 V at 11.3 A; SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost or board space is critical and surge energy remains below 400 W capability |
| SMCJ22A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, VC = 35.5 V at 42.3 A; larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same AEC-Q101 qualification available | Better suited for high-energy load-dump or lightning protection; requires larger PCB footprint and thermal pads | Choose when system-level testing reveals margin shortfall with 600 W rating or when dual-stage protection architecture is used |
Compared with SMAJ22A and SMCJ22A, the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT delivers optimal balance of automotive qualification, SMB footprint compatibility, and 600 W surge handling - making it preferred for space-constrained ECU and ADAS submodules where thermal management and qualification compliance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT?
The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only during positive voltage transients relative to its cathode terminal. The cathode is marked by a color band on the SMB package body. This configuration provides precise clamping on DC power rails where reverse-voltage events are not expected, and it ensures minimal leakage at VWM = 18.8 V. The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT does not protect against negative-going surges unless paired with a complementary device.
Is the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed by Vishay's documentation for base part numbers ending in HE3 or HM3. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD (HBM ≥ 8 kV, CDM ≥ 1 kV), validating its suitability for automotive applications such as engine control units and ADAS sensors. The "HE3" suffix in TPSMB22AHE3/5BT explicitly denotes this qualification status.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT under surge conditions?
The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V at 19.6 A peak pulse current, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events. Engineers must verify that downstream components - such as DC-DC converters or microcontroller I/O pins - have sufficient voltage margin above 30.6 V to avoid damage or malfunction when the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT is active.
Does the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads at each terminal to meet its specified 600 W peak pulse power rating. Smaller pads reduce thermal dissipation and cause premature failure under surge. Additionally, minimize trace length between the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT and protected node, place it as close as possible to the entry point (e.g., connector or fuse), and ensure low-inductance grounding to preserve its <1 ns response time. These practices are essential to achieve the published VC and IPPM performance of the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT.
How does the TPSMB22AHE3/5BT perform at elevated junction temperatures?
The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT maintains stable electrical characteristics up to +185 °C junction temperature, with VBR exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.084 %/°C. At 150 °C, its breakdown voltage increases by approximately 10.5% over the 25 °C value - i.e., from 22.0 V to ~24.3 V. This predictable shift allows designers to validate clamping margins across the full operating range. The TPSMB22AHE3/5BT's high-TJ rating eliminates derating in under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
