Product details
Overview
TPSMC22AHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 22 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 20.9–23.1 V at 1 mA), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for clamping inductive switching transients on automotive power rails and industrial sensor signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I datasheet, TPSMC22AHE3_B/I pinout, TPSMC22AHE3_B/I application, or TPSMC22AHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 18.8 V, 30.6 V clamping voltage at 49.0 A surge current, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with an anisotropic rectifier structure optimized for high-temperature stability. Its junction passivation enables reliable operation up to TJ = 185 °C and supports automotive-grade thermal cycling requirements.
The device delivers low incremental surge resistance and fast response time to suppress transients induced by inductive load switching. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 or HM3 suffixes.
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 under standardized test conditions |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 49.0 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, directly limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability determines survivability against lightning or ESD-like events |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-critical systems |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments without derating penalties |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - provides reverse-biased clamping only; requires correct orientation relative to protected line polarity |

Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded case with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; cathode indicated by color band; terminals are matte tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected circuit; conducts during forward surge or bias |
| Cathode | Clamping reference terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., VBAT); reverse-biased during transient suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VBR range, SMB package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to non-automotive industrial use | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W |
| TPSMC22AHM3_B/I | Identical electrical specs; halogen-free molding compound and whisker-tested terminations | Required for strict environmental compliance (e.g., EU automotive Tier 1 supply chains) | Choose when halogen-free and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance are mandatory |
Compared with SMBJ22A and TPSMC22AHM3_B/I, the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I offers the highest surge robustness (1500 W) in an AEC-Q101-qualified SMC package, balancing automotive reliability, thermal performance, and RoHS compliance without halogen restrictions.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 49.0 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88407 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified variants. It supports automotive use cases including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies where junction temperatures reach up to +185 °C. The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101 requirements for reliability validation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I at its stand-off voltage?
The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 18.8 V, measured at TA = 25 °C. At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage increases to ≤10 µA - a value still compatible with low-power sensor and battery-backed systems. This low leakage is critical for minimizing quiescent power loss in always-on automotive modules using the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I.
What package type does the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I use, and what are its mounting requirements?
The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I uses the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm × 2.62 mm. Mounting requires 0.31″ × 0.31″ (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads at each terminal for optimal thermal dissipation and surge current handling. The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I is MSL Level 1 and compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C.
How does the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I differ from the TPSMC22AHM3_B/I variant?
The TPSMC22AHE3_B/I and TPSMC22AHM3_B/I share identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and mechanical outline. Their difference lies solely in material composition: the HM3 suffix indicates halogen-free molding compound and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-resistant terminations, whereas the HE3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification without halogen-free requirement. Both variants are drop-in replacements electrically, but the TPSMC22AHE3_B/I is selected when halogen content is not restricted.
