Product details
Overview
TPSMC22HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 22.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for clamping inductive switching transients on automotive power rails and sensor signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC22HE3/57T datasheet, TPSMC22HE3/57T pinout, TPSMC22HE3/57T application, or TPSMC22HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 30.6 V clamping voltage at 49.0 A peak surge current, unidirectional polarity, MSL Level 1 rating, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above VWM; it delivers fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance to limit transient overvoltage across sensitive downstream ICs. Its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure ensures stable performance under high-temperature stress.
The device is designed for single-pulse transient suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 (10/1000 μs waveform), with derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2 of the datasheet. It supports mounting on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (Nominal) | 22.0 V - precise avalanche initiation voltage at 1 mA test current, defining clamping threshold onset |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - clamped voltage at 49.0 A peak pulse current, directly limiting downstream voltage stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating enabling use in under-hood automotive environments |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive transients only; requires correct cathode orientation in circuit |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - no floor life limitation; safe for reflow up to 260 °C peak |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB) - surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking, 8.13 mm × 6.22 mm × 2.62 mm footprint, UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound, matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during forward conduction; grounded or connected to low-impedance return path in protection configuration | Provides low-VF (3.5 V @ 100 A) path during surge events when device conducts in forward direction |
| Cathode | Protected line connection point; marked by color band | Reverse-biased terminal where transient voltage appears; avalanche breakdown occurs here to clamp voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JEDEC standards |
| Junction passivation | Optimized anisotropic rectifier process reduces parameter drift and leakage under thermal stress |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients without derating in typical PCB layouts |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR = 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between clamping and protected IC's absolute maximum rating |
| MSL Level 1 & JESD201 Class 2 | Eliminates bake requirements and whisker risk in automated SMT assembly for high-volume production |

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 | Lower PPPM (400 W), same VBR (22 V), SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Not suitable for automotive load-dump; limited to lower-energy ESD/lightning events | Select TPSMC22HE3/57T when >1000 W surge immunity is required or AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory |
| 1.5KE22A | Higher VC (35.5 V), through-hole DO-201 package, 1500 W rating but slower response due to higher parasitic inductance | Requires PCB real estate and wave soldering; not SMT-compatible or MSL-1 compliant | Choose TPSMC22HE3/57T for space-constrained SMT designs needing automotive qualification and faster clamping |
Compared with SMAJ22A and 1.5KE22A, TPSMC22HE3/57T provides superior thermal robustness (185 °C TJ), surface-mount compatibility with zero lead-free reflow restrictions, and tighter clamping (30.6 V vs. ≥35.5 V), making it optimal for high-reliability automotive and industrial power-line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMC22HE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMC22HE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 49.0 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay document 88407. The TPSMC22HE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMC22HE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMC22HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet (document 88407, page 1). The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock - validating the TPSMC22HE3/57T for under-hood and powertrain applications where reliability at 185 °C junction temperature is required.
What does the "HE3/57T" suffix indicate in TPSMC22HE3/57T?
The "HE3" portion indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "57T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels (3500 units per reel), per Vishay's ordering convention. This full suffix confirms that the TPSMC22HE3/57T is supplied in industry-standard SMT format with full automotive-grade traceability and assembly compatibility.
Can the TPSMC22HE3/57T be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TPSMC22HE3/57T is unidirectional only, as clearly specified in the Features section of the datasheet. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode and must be oriented accordingly in-circuit. For bidirectional protection, two TPSMC22HE3/57T devices would need back-to-back connection, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ22CA should be selected instead.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMC22HE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
At 25 °C, the TPSMC22HE3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA when biased at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 18.8 V. At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage increases to 10 μA under the same VWM, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal interference in always-on automotive and industrial monitoring circuits using the TPSMC22HE3/57T.
