Product details
Overview
SMF45A-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in DO-219AB (SOD-123W) package, rated for 45 V standoff voltage, 72.7 V maximum clamping voltage at 2.8 A peak pulse current, 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity. It protects USB 2.0 data lines, HDMI interfaces, and automotive infotainment I/O ports.
For engineers reviewing the SMF45A-HM3-08 datasheet, SMF45A-HM3-08 pinout, SMF45A-HM3-08 application, or SMF45A-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 2.8 A surge, sub-162 pF capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
Technical Context
This device operates as a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, designed for unidirectional clamping in DC-biased signal paths. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures rapid voltage clamping during ESD events, while its "Low Noise" technology delivers sub-nanosecond response time.
The SMF45A-HM3-08 is optimized for high-reliability automotive and industrial applications requiring robust electrostatic discharge protection without signal integrity degradation. It supports bidirectional layout flexibility via cathode-bar marking and maintains stable performance across -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMF45A-HM3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMF45A-HM3-08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V at 2.8 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and ensures downstream 3.3 V or 5 V ICs remain within safe operating limits during transient events. The SMF45A-HM3-08 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast avalanche response.
Is SMF45A-HM3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, SMF45A-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay document 85881 Rev. 2.4. It undergoes stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD human body model (H3B > 8 kV). This qualification makes SMF45A-HM3-08 suitable for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability is mandated.
What is the capacitance of SMF45A-HM3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signals?
The SMF45A-HM3-08 exhibits 162 pF typical capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes signal attenuation and timing skew on interfaces such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and LIN bus. Unlike higher-capacitance alternatives (>250 pF), the SMF45A-HM3-08 preserves edge rates and eye diagram integrity without requiring layout compensation. The SMF45A-HM3-08 datasheet confirms this value across production lots.
Does SMF45A-HM3-08 support automated assembly processes?
Yes, SMF45A-HM3-08 is fully compatible with standard SMT processes: it is wave and reflow solderable per J-STD-020, rated MSL level 1 (unlimited floor life), and features a DO-219AB package with defined footprint recommendations. Its 1.08 mm height and cathode-bar orientation simplify optical recognition in pick-and-place machines. The SMF45A-HM3-08 tape-and-reel packaging (8 mm width, 3K per 7″ reel) aligns with industry-standard feeders.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SMF45A-HM3-08?
The SMF45A-HM3-08 is specified for an operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, matching the junction temperature limit. This range supports deployment in under-hood automotive locations, industrial motor controls, and outdoor equipment exposed to thermal extremes. The SMF45A-HM3-08 maintains stable clamping performance and leakage current (<0.1 μA at 45 V) across this full span, as verified in Vishay's thermal characterization data.
