Product details
Overview
SMF24A-HM3-08 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 standoff voltage (VRWM), 26.7–29.6 V reverse breakdown (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 interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF24A-HM3-08 datasheet, SMF24A-HM3-08 pinout, SMF24A-HM3-08 application, or SMF24A-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, low capacitance for signal integrity, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint constraints.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon avalanche technology to clamp transient overvoltages before they damage downstream ICs. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures rapid response (<1 ns) and stable clamping across temperature (−65 °C to +175 °C).
The SMF24A-HM3-08 is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 1000 W (8/20 μs), and supports wave/reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1. It meets AEC-Q101 Class H3B (>8 kV HBM) and IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge requirements.

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; 3.5 mm × 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm; higher RthJA (200 K/W); 39.4 V VC at 5.1 A | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-thin or dense layouts; same VRWM and clamping performance | Choose SMAJ24A-E3/57T only if board space allows larger package and thermal margin is sufficient |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel bidirectional array in SOT-553; 12 pF @ 0 V; 15 V VRWM; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower capacitance ideal for USB 2.0 but lower standoff; unsuitable for 24 V industrial lines or automotive | Select TPD2E001DRYR only for low-voltage, high-speed consumer ports where 24 V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF24A-HM3-08 uniquely balances 24 V standoff, 244 pF capacitance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and ultra-low-profile DO-219AB packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and automotive signal line protection where both voltage rating and ESD robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of the SMF24A-HM3-08?
The SMF24A-HM3-08 has a maximum standoff voltage (VRWM) of 24 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage while leaking less than 0.1 μA. This rating makes SMF24A-HM3-08 suitable for protecting 24 V industrial signal lines and automotive subsystems where sustained operating voltage must be tolerated without conduction.
Is the SMF24A-HM3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, the SMF24A-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for Class H3B human body model (HBM) with >8 kV ESD tolerance. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive applications including body electronics, infotainment interfaces, and sensor signal conditioning where reliability under harsh environmental stress is mandatory.
What is the clamping voltage of the SMF24A-HM3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMF24A-HM3-08 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 5.1 A peak pulse current under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events, ensuring downstream 3.3 V or 5 V ICs remain within safe operating margins when SMF24A-HM3-08 is correctly applied.
Does the SMF24A-HM3-08 support automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the SMF24A-HM3-08 is fully compatible with standard wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020, rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its DO-219AB package is MSL level 1, eliminating bake requirements, and its orientation in carrier tape (cathode bar visible) enables reliable pick-and-place placement - critical for high-yield manufacturing of SMF24A-HM3-08-equipped boards.
How does the junction capacitance of the SMF24A-HM3-08 affect high-speed signal integrity?
The SMF24A-HM3-08 has a typical junction capacitance of 244 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz, which is carefully balanced for 480 Mbps USB 2.0 compliance. While higher than some ultra-low-capacitance arrays, this value avoids excessive signal attenuation or timing skew on moderate-speed lines - making SMF24A-HM3-08 appropriate for industrial UART, CAN FD stubs, and HDMI TMDS clock lanes where robustness outweighs extreme bandwidth demands.
