Product details
Overview
GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a two-line bidirectional asymmetrical (BiAs) ESD protection diode in LLP75-3B package, rated for ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge, 36 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), and 3.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) per line to ground. It protects high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0, HDMI, or industrial serial interfaces against electrostatic discharge events.
For engineers reviewing the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 datasheet, GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 pinout, GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 application, or GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 equivalent, this device delivers low clamping voltage (VC = 59–71 V at IPPM), sub-1.3 V forward clamping, and 52–65 pF capacitance at 0 V bias - critical for preserving signal integrity in 36 V-rated interface protection.
Technical Context
The GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 operates in BiAs mode (pin 1–3 and pin 2–3 paths to ground) for dual-line protection with asymmetrical clamping: reverse breakdown at 39–43 V and forward clamping near 1.3 V. Its internal dual-diode structure enables independent transient suppression on two signal lines sharing a common ground reference.
In BiSy mode (pin 1–2 only, pin 3 open), it functions as a single-line symmetrical protector with VRWM = 36.5 V and VC = 60–72 V at 3.5 A, leveraging matched diode pairs for balanced positive/negative transient response - suitable for RS-485 or CAN FD bus lines requiring bipolar surge immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact & air discharge (IEC 61000-4-2); meets Level 4 system-level ESD robustness without external shielding. |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 36 V at IR = 1 µA; ensures no leakage or conduction during normal 36 V interface operation (e.g., automotive LIN, industrial 24–48 V buses). |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 3.5 A per line (8/20 µs waveform); sustains transient energy up to 252 W (pin 1–2 path) without failure. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 59–71 V at IPPM = 3.5 A (BiAs mode); limits downstream IC stress below 71 V during worst-case surge. |
| Diode Capacitance (CD) | 52–65 pF at 0 V / 1 MHz; low enough for <100 Mbps data rates in USB 2.0 or RS-422 applications. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C junction; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LLP75-3B - 3-pin leadless plastic package (1.2 × 0.8 × 0.5 mm), MSL level 1, matte tin (e3) finish, RoHS-compliant, UL 94 V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Signal Line 1 Anode/Cathode | Input for first protected line (L1); connects to diode anode in BiSy mode or cathode in BiAs mode to ground (pin 3). |
| Pin 2 | Signal Line 2 Anode/Cathode | Input for second protected line (L2); symmetrically structured to Pin 1 for dual-line protection. |
| Pin 3 | Ground Reference | Common cathode connection point in BiAs mode; must be tied to system ground for dual-line clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Asymmetrical (BiAs) Protection | Enables independent 36 V standoff on two signal lines with low forward clamping (~1.3 V) and controlled reverse clamping (≤71 V), minimizing voltage overshoot on sensitive receivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/57T | Single-line unidirectional TVS; 36 V VBR, 100 W peak power, DO-214AC package (larger, higher inductance). | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; lacks integrated dual-path architecture and low-capacitance optimization. | Choose when discrete layout flexibility is prioritized over space-constrained designs or when unidirectional clamping suffices. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Two-line ESD protector; 5 V VRWM, 10 pF capacitance, SOT-553 package; lower voltage rating and smaller footprint. | Not suitable for 36 V systems; optimized for USB/MIPI in mobile devices, not industrial or automotive 24–48 V interfaces. | Choose only for low-voltage, ultra-high-speed (<1 Gbps) applications where sub-10 pF loading is mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 uniquely combines dual-line BiAs/BiSy configurability, 36 V standoff, ±30 kV ESD rating, and 52–65 pF capacitance in a 1.2 × 0.8 mm LLP75-3B package - making it the only option qualified for compact, high-voltage, multi-protocol interface protection without design trade-offs.

FAQ
What protection modes does the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 support?
The GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 supports two distinct protection configurations: Bidirectional Asymmetrical (BiAs) mode with pins 1 and 2 connected to separate signal lines and pin 3 grounded - enabling independent 36 V standoff and low forward clamping; and Bidirectional Symmetrical (BiSy) mode with pin 3 left unconnected and pins 1–2 used as a single differential path - delivering balanced ±36.5 V clamping for RS-485 or CAN FD. Both modes are validated in the official Vishay datasheet (Doc. #85825, Rev. 1.7).
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 under full-rated surge current?
Under IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs surge conditions at its rated peak pulse current of 3.5 A, the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 exhibits a reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 59–71 V in BiAs mode (pins 1–3 or 2–3) and 60–72 V in BiSy mode (pins 1–2). These values are measured per Vishay's datasheet (Document 85825, page 8), ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe voltage limits during worst-case transients.
Can the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 is qualified for automotive under-hood use: it operates across −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature, carries AEC-Q200-recognized construction (LLP75-3B package, e3 matte tin finish), and meets IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity - satisfying key requirements for engine control units, body modules, and LIN bus nodes. Its 36 V VRWM provides margin above 12 V/24 V battery systems during load-dump events.
How does the capacitance of GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 affect high-speed signal integrity?
The GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 exhibits 52–65 pF capacitance at 0 V bias (1 MHz), dropping to 12 pF at 18 V reverse bias. This low, voltage-dependent capacitance minimizes signal rise-time degradation and jitter in interfaces up to 100 Mbps (e.g., USB 2.0, RS-422), as confirmed in Vishay's electrical characteristics table (page 8). Unlike higher-capacitance TVS arrays, it avoids RC filtering that distorts eye diagrams or necessitates receiver equalization.
Is the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the GSOT36C-HT3-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering: its LLP75-3B package is rated MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature tolerance of 260 °C for 10 seconds at terminals. The matte tin (e3) lead finish and UL 94 V-0 green molding compound ensure reliable wetting and thermal stability during standard Pb-free reflow profiles used in industrial and automotive manufacturing.
