Product details
Overview
SMF24A-HE3_A08 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), 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage at 5.1 A peak pulse current, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, and 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive infotainment interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF24A-HE3_A08 datasheet, SMF24A-HE3_A08 pinout, SMF24A-HE3_A08 application, or SMF24A-HE3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 40 V at rated IPPM, low capacitance (244 pF at 0 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and DO-219AB package thermal performance (RthJA = 180 K/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, optimized for fast response to ESD transients via low-noise silicon junction technology. Its 1-pin cathode configuration enables simple series placement on signal lines, and its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during clamping.
The SMF24A-HE3_A08 is specified for operation across -65 °C to +175 °C, supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1, and maintains stable reverse leakage (<0.1 μA at VRWM) and clamping performance up to TJ = 175 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-E3/57T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; larger footprint (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); higher RthJA (200 K/W); same VRWM/VC specs. | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; lower thermal efficiency in sealed enclosures. | Choose when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board space permits. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, bidirectional, 15 pF @ 0 V; lower clamping (12 V at 1 A); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Targeted at low-capacitance USB/MIPI lines-not appropriate for high-energy CAN or automotive power-domain protection. | Prefer for high-speed digital interfaces where capacitance <20 pF is mandatory; avoid for automotive under-hood use. |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, the SMF24A-HE3_A08 delivers optimal balance of compact DO-219AB packaging, AEC-Q101 compliance, and robust 200 W surge handling-making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive and industrial edge nodes requiring both miniaturization and qualification rigor.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF24A-HE3_A08 under standard test conditions?
The SMF24A-HE3_A08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs surge waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 5.1 A. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits. The SMF24A-HE3_A08 achieves this performance using a low-resistance silicon junction optimized for fast transient response.
Is the SMF24A-HE3_A08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMF24A-HE3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity exposure required for automotive electronic control units. Its operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and DO-219AB package robustness make it suitable for under-hood and cabin-mounted systems. The SMF24A-HE3_A08 is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product matrix.
What is the capacitance of the SMF24A-HE3_A08 at zero bias, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The SMF24A-HE3_A08 exhibits a typical capacitance of 244 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. This value is well-suited for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and CAN FD (up to 5 Mbps) interfaces, where signal integrity is maintained without excessive rise-time degradation. The SMF24A-HE3_A08's capacitance-vs-voltage curve shows monotonic decrease above 5 V, further stabilizing impedance during normal operation.
Does the SMF24A-HE3_A08 support automated PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the SMF24A-HE3_A08 is fully compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering processes. It meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, and uses tin-plated terminations compliant with RoHS. Its DO-219AB package geometry and tape-and-reel packaging (3K per 7″ reel, code A08) enable seamless pick-and-place integration. The SMF24A-HE3_A08 has been validated across IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 assembly lines.
How does the SMF24A-HE3_A08 compare to older SMAJ-series TVS diodes in terms of board space and thermal performance?
The SMF24A-HE3_A08 occupies ~45 % less PCB area than the SMAJ24A due to its smaller DO-219AB (3.9 mm × 1.9 mm) versus DO-214AC (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) footprint. Its thermal resistance (RthJA = 180 K/W) is also 10 % lower than SMAJ24A's 200 K/W, enabling better power dissipation in thermally constrained modules. The SMF24A-HE3_A08 thus delivers superior density and thermal efficiency without sacrificing electrical performance.
