What is SMAJ22CA used for?
The SMAJ22CA is used to protect telecommunication equipment, industrial I/O interfaces, and automotive electronics from voltage transients on 22 V supply rails. It is commonly placed across data lines, RS-485 bus lines, and power inputs in motor drives and PLCs where bidirectional surge suppression is required. The SMA package allows straightforward PCB mounting with minimal board space, making it suitable for space-constrained protection circuits in consumer and industrial designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What peak pulse power and clamping voltage does the SMAJ22CA provide at a 22 V standoff?
The SMAJ22CA handles 400 W peak pulse power on a 10/1000 µs waveform and clamps transient voltages to a maximum of 35.5 V, keeping downstream components safe on 22 V rails with a silicon avalanche breakdown range of 24.4 V to 26.9 V.
How does the bidirectional configuration of the SMAJ22CA benefit AC line and RS-485 bus protection?
As a bidirectional device, the SMAJ22CA suppresses positive and negative transients equally, making it ideal for protecting AC signal lines, RS-485 differential pairs, and motor driver outputs where transient polarity is unpredictable; its sub-nanosecond response prevents damage from ESD pulses exceeding 22 V in either direction.
Can the SMAJ22CA replace a unidirectional TVS on a 24 V DC power bus, and what trade-offs apply?
Yes, the SMAJ22CA can replace a unidirectional TVS on a 24 V DC bus; however, the bidirectional configuration adds a small leakage current of typically a few microamps at standoff, and the 35.5 V clamp must be verified against the maximum operating voltage of protected ICs rated for 24 V to 26 V supply tolerance.
