Product details
Overview
TPSMB22HE3/52T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 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 - deployed in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB22HE3/52T datasheet, TPSMB22HE3/52T pinout, TPSMB22HE3/52T application, or TPSMB22HE3/52T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, TJ = 185 °C thermal rating, and clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 μs surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable breakdown behavior across temperature and high reliability under automotive-grade stress conditions. Its unidirectional configuration enables forward-biased operation during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns).
The device is rated for 75 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits low incremental surge resistance, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The cathode band marking and matte tin-plated terminals ensure consistent PCB assembly and solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
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 overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 19.6 A - limits downstream voltage during 10/1000 μs surge to protect 24 V system ICs |
| PPPM | 600 W - sustains standardized transient energy without failure under repetitive duty cycle ≤ 0.01 % |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive placement and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - blocks reverse conduction; conducts only during positive overvoltage on anode side |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard 2-pin SMD outline with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad requirement |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB22HE3/52T is housed in the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: molded epoxy case meeting UL 94 V-0, matte tin-plated leads, cathode identified by a color band. Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for thermal and surge current handling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Surge current entry point during positive overvoltage | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); conducts when voltage exceeds VWM |
| Cathode | Surge current return path to ground or reference | Connected to system ground; establishes unidirectional clamping direction and polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
| Junction passivation | Stabilizes VBR drift across temperature and lifetime; enables ±0.084 %/°C tempco for predictable clamping |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.39 - minimizes overvoltage margin between breakdown and clamping, enhancing protection headroom |
| MSL Level 1 | Zero floor life limitation; supports standard reflow without baking or dry pack handling |
| 75 A IFSM | Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge common in motor driver and relay coil suppression applications |

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, identical VBR range (20.9–23.1 V), but rated for 600 W with 10/1000 μs waveform and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Used in commercial/industrial systems where automotive qualification is not required | Select SMBJ22A for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs needing same electrical specs without qualification overhead |
| TPSMB22AHM3/52T | Identical electrical and thermal specs; differs only in halogen-free molding compound and whisker-tested terminations | Required for RoHS-compliant, halogen-free BOMs in EU automotive programs | Choose TPSMB22AHM3/52T when material compliance (halogen-free + RoHS + AEC-Q101) is mandated by OEM specification |
Compared with TPSMB22HE3/52T, SMBJ22A offers identical clamping and surge capability but lacks automotive qualification, while TPSMB22AHM3/52T provides full material compliance parity - enabling direct substitution where halogen-free content is required without changing layout or thermal design.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the TPSMB22HE3/52T?
The TPSMB22HE3/52T has a specified breakdown voltage range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports reliable overvoltage detection in safety-critical 24 V systems where TPSMB22HE3/52T is deployed.
Is the TPSMB22HE3/52T suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TPSMB22HE3/52T is unidirectional only - it clamps positive overvoltages relative to ground and blocks reverse conduction. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or dual-diode configuration would be required. The TPSMB22HE3/52T datasheet explicitly states "Available in unidirectional polarity only", confirming its single-quadrant operation.
Does the TPSMB22HE3/52T require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, the TPSMB22HE3/52T must be derated above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88406). Peak pulse power decreases linearly with rising junction temperature, reaching ~50 % of 600 W at ~125 °C ambient (with proper PCB copper area). Thermal design using 0.2" × 0.2" pads is essential to maintain TPSMB22HE3/52T within its +185 °C maximum junction limit.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMB22HE3/52T?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. Specifically, HE3 indicates matte tin-plated leads, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and full automotive qualification - distinguishing TPSMB22HE3/52T from non-qualified variants like TPSMB22A. The "/52T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (13" reel, 3200 pcs).
How does the clamping voltage of TPSMB22HE3/52T compare to its breakdown voltage?
The TPSMB22HE3/52T clamps at 30.6 V when subjected to its rated 19.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), yielding a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of ~1.39. This means the protected circuit sees no more than 30.6 V during surge events - a critical margin above the 22 V nominal breakdown and well below typical 36 V absolute maximum ratings of downstream 24 V system ICs.
