Vishay 1-Element Bi-Directional Transient Voltage Suppressor 3000 W 2-Pin DO-214AB SMC3K22CA-M3/57

Vishay SMC3K22CA-M3/57 is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage surges and transient events. Housed in a compact DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, this component offers robust transient suppression with a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 3000 W, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive circuits.

This TVS diode features a bi-directional configuration which allows it to clamp voltage spikes in both polarities, providing comprehensive protection in AC and DC environments. It has a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 22 V and a minimum breakdown voltage of 24.4 V, which ensures device activation only during voltage disturbances, preserving normal circuit operation otherwise. The clamping voltage is 35.5 V, allowing it to safely redirect transient currents away from the protected components.

The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, and meets the stringent automotive AEC-Q101 standard, emphasizing its suitability for automotive electronic systems requiring high durability. The maximum peak pulse current capability of 84.5 A supports handling of significant transient events, making it ideal for power supply lines and interface ports.

The SMC3K22CA-M3/57 unit’s minimal reverse leakage current of just 2 μA ensures minimal power loss under steady state conditions, contributing to overall system efficiency. Its physical dimensions, length 7.11 mm, width 6.22 mm, and height 2.42 mm, make it appropriate for compact PCB designs where space savings are critical.

This transient voltage suppressor is widely applied in industrial machines, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, telecommunications, and power supply circuits to protect against damage caused by voltage spikes. Its robust design and surface mount packaging facilitate easy automated assembly within modern electronics manufacturing environments.
