FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF58A-E3-08 under specified surge conditions?
The SMF58A-E3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 95 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 95 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the Electrical Characteristics table in Vishay's Document Number 85881 (Rev. 2.4), and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does the SMF58A-E3-08 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SMF58A-E3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official documentation. It passes human body model (HBM) testing at Class H3B (>8 kV), operates across -65 °C to +175 °C, and meets temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity resistance requirements defined in the AEC-Q101 stress test standard - making it suitable for under-hood and infotainment applications.
What is the capacitance of the SMF58A-E3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The SMF58A-E3-08 exhibits 144 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, per Vishay's Electrical Characteristics table. This value is low enough to avoid significant signal attenuation or timing skew on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and CAN FD (5 Mbps) lines, but not suitable for USB 3.0 or PCIe Gen3, where sub-1 pF devices are required. Layout best practices (short traces, ground plane proximity) further mitigate capacitive loading effects.
Can the SMF58A-E3-08 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No - the SMF58A-E3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for circuits with a well-defined ground reference and polarity-sensitive signal paths. Its electrical characteristics (e.g., reverse breakdown, clamping behavior) are specified only for reverse-biased operation. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional part such as SMBJ58A or a dual-diode array must be selected instead.
What is the package type and soldering compatibility of the SMF58A-E3-08?
The SMF58A-E3-08 uses the DO-219AB package (also referenced as SOD-123W-compatible), with dimensions of 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm. It is fully compatible with standard Pb-free reflow soldering profiles (peak temperature ≤260 °C) and wave soldering processes, and carries MSL level 1 rating per J-STD-020 - eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
