Product details
Overview
SMF24A-HE3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for transient voltage suppression in high-speed data lines. It features a 24 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 26.7–29.6 V reverse breakdown range (VBR), 5.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 244 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial I/O port protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMF24A-HE3-08 datasheet, SMF24A-HE3-08 pinout, SMF24A-HE3-08 application, or SMF24A-HE3-08 equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualified ESD immunity (±30 kV contact/air), low incremental surge resistance, and fast response time for robust interface-level surge protection in automotive infotainment, industrial HMI, and medical data ports.
Technical Context
The SMF24A-HE3-08 operates as a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity, leveraging silicon avalanche clamping to divert ESD transients before they reach sensitive downstream circuitry. Its DO-219AB package enables low-inductance layout and supports wave/reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
It complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air) and IEC 61000-4-5 (1000 W, 8/20 μs), with thermal resistance RthJA = 180 K/W on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads. The device maintains stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range and supports human body model (HBM) >8 kV per AEC-Q101 Class H3B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin for 24 V nominal bus lines. |
| Reverse Breakdown (VBR) | 26.7–29.6 V at 1 mA - onset of avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 38.9 V max at 5.1 A (10/1000 μs) - limits transient voltage seen by protected ICs; critical for safeguarding 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 244 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts signal integrity on high-speed lines; suitable for ≤480 Mbps USB 2.0 but not USB 3.x. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 200 W (10/1000 μs), 1000 W (8/20 μs) - defines energy-handling capability for lightning-induced surges and EFT events. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 requirements; eliminates need for secondary ESD stages in many designs. |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SMF24A-HE3-08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: low-profile (1.08 mm height), SOD-123W-compatible outline, molded UL 94 V-0 compound, and MSL level 1 rating. Cathode is marked by a bar on the device top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during ESD event. |
| Cathode | Protected line terminal | Connected to signal/data line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); conducts transient current to ground when voltage exceeds VRWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles repetitive ESD and surge events without degradation in compact PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-E3/5T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; higher RthJA (200 K/W); 40.2 V VC at 5.1 A; 250 pF capacitance. | Larger footprint and lower power density; less suitable for ultra-thin consumer modules. | Choose SMAJ24A-E3/5T only if legacy SMA layout exists or higher surge margin is required beyond 200 W. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Quad-channel, 1.5 pF per channel, 5.5 V VRWM; integrated ESD array in USON-8; not rated for 24 V systems. | Designed for low-voltage high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0, DisplayPort); incompatible with 24 V signal rails. | Select TPD2E001DRYR only for sub-6 V data lines where ultra-low capacitance is mandatory and voltage rating aligns. |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5T and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF24A-HE3-08 uniquely balances 24 V standoff, 200 W surge capability, and DO-219AB space efficiency - making it optimal for new 24 V industrial and automotive interface designs requiring AEC-Q101 validation and minimal board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF24A-HE3-08 under standard test conditions?
The SMF24A-HE3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 5.1 A. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Is the SMF24A-HE3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMF24A-HE3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for Class H3B human body model (HBM) ESD immunity (>8 kV). It meets stringent automotive reliability requirements including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing. Its DO-219AB package and -65 °C to +175 °C operating range make it suitable for under-dash, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems where ESD robustness is critical.
What does the "HE3-08" suffix indicate in SMF24A-HE3-08?
The "HE3-08" suffix denotes Vishay's packaging and environmental coding: "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification, "E3" specifies lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant terminations with tin plating, and "08" identifies 3000 pieces per 7-inch reel (8 mm tape, minimum order quantity 30 k). This matches the ordering code structure defined in Vishay document 85881 Rev. 2.4.
Can SMF24A-HE3-08 be used for bidirectional signal lines like RS-485?
No - the SMF24A-HE3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for single-ended or ground-referenced lines. For bidirectional differential interfaces such as RS-485, a bidirectional variant like SMF24CA-HE3-08 (not SMF24A-HE3-08) must be used. Using SMF24A-HE3-08 on bidirectional lines risks forward conduction during normal signal swings, causing malfunction or increased leakage.
How does the 244 pF capacitance of SMF24A-HE3-08 affect high-speed signal integrity?
The 244 pF typical junction capacitance of SMF24A-HE3-08 limits its use to interfaces operating ≤480 Mbps (e.g., USB 2.0 full-speed, RS-485, CAN FD at ≤5 Mbps). At higher frequencies, this capacitance introduces insertion loss and rise-time degradation. For USB 3.x or HDMI 2.0, lower-capacitance alternatives (<3 pF) are required - SMF24A-HE3-08 is intentionally optimized for cost-sensitive, moderate-speed industrial and automotive applications.
