Product details
Overview
SMF24A-HM3_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 standoff 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), and 244 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMF24A-HM3_A08 datasheet, SMF24A-HM3_A08 pinout, SMF24A-HM3_A08 application, or SMF24A-HM3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, low capacitance for signal integrity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SOD-123W-compatible footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon avalanche technology to clamp transients above its breakdown threshold while maintaining low leakage (<0.1 μA at VRWM). Its low incremental surge resistance enables fast response and stable clamping during ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD events.
The SMF24A-HM3_A08 is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 1000 W (8/20 μs), and supports operation across -65 °C to +175 °C - meeting automotive-grade thermal and reliability requirements per AEC-Q101 when qualified (HE3 variant denotes AEC-Q101 qualification).

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 | Higher clamping voltage (43.5 V), larger SMA (DO-214AC) package (4.5 × 2.7 mm), 3.5 A IPPM | Less suitable for space-constrained high-speed interfaces; better for lower-frequency power rails | Choose SMAJ24A-E3/57T only if board layout allows larger footprint and higher VC is acceptable for protected IC's voltage tolerance |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Bi-directional dual-channel array (0.9 pF/channel), 5 V VRWM, integrated 10 Ω series resistors | Designed for ultra-low-capacitance USB/DisplayPort; not rated for 24 V standby or high-power surges | Use TPD2E001DRYR for sub-5 V high-speed data paths where clamping voltage must be <10 V; avoid for 24 V industrial signal lines |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF24A-HM3_A08 uniquely balances 24 V standoff, 38.9 V clamping, 244 pF capacitance, and DO-219AB compactness - making it optimal for mid-voltage industrial and automotive data interfaces requiring both ESD robustness and signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMF24A-HM3_A08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF24A-HM3_A08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 5.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per the Electrical Characteristics table in Vishay's Document Number 85881 and ensures protected downstream ICs remain within safe voltage limits during surge events. The SMF24A-HM3_A08 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast avalanche response.
Is SMF24A-HM3_A08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, the "HE3" in SMF24A-HM3_A08 indicates AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. This certification confirms the SMF24A-HM3_A08 has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD required for automotive electronics. The SMF24A-HM3_A08 is suitable for use in engine control, body electronics, and infotainment systems where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What does the "_A08" suffix mean in SMF24A-HM3_A08?
The "_A08" suffix in SMF24A-HM3_A08 specifies packaging: 3000 pieces per 7-inch reel on 8 mm tape, with a minimum order quantity of 30,000 units. This matches Vishay's standard ordering code convention shown in the "Ordering Information" section of Document 85881. The SMF24A-HM3_A08 is supplied in moisture-sensitive level 1 (MSL-1) packaging compliant with J-STD-020, requiring no dry-pack or bake-out prior to assembly.
Can SMF24A-HM3_A08 replace SMAJ24A in existing designs?
SMF24A-HM3_A08 is not a direct pin-to-pin replacement for SMAJ24A due to different packages: SMF24A-HM3_A08 uses DO-219AB (3.9 × 1.9 mm), while SMAJ24A uses DO-214AC (4.5 × 2.7 mm). Layout changes are required. However, the SMF24A-HM3_A08 offers lower clamping voltage (38.9 V vs. 43.5 V) and smaller footprint - beneficial for high-density boards. Verify thermal dissipation and trace inductance in the new layout before migration.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SMF24A-HM3_A08?
The SMF24A-HM3_A08 is rated for an operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, matching its storage temperature specification. This wide range supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments, industrial motor drives, and outdoor equipment. The junction temperature limit remains 175 °C, and thermal resistance (RthJA = 180 K/W) assumes mounting on a 3 mm × 3 mm copper pad - derating is required for smaller pads or elevated ambient temperatures.
