Product details
Overview
SMF58A-HE3_A08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for high-energy transient suppression in data lines and power rails. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 95 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at 10/1000 μs, 95 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, and 144 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz - optimized for automotive infotainment and industrial communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF58A-HE3_A08 datasheet, SMF58A-HE3_A08 pinout, SMF58A-HE3_A08 application, or SMF58A-HE3_A08 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned with Vishay's Rev. 2.4 (04-Jul-2023) specification for AEC-Q101-qualified ESD protection devices.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above its 64.4–70.8 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR). Its low 0.1 μA maximum reverse leakage at VRWM ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits.
The SMF58A-HE3_A08 integrates "Low Noise" fast-response technology with sub-nanosecond turn-on time, enabling effective suppression of ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 while maintaining signal integrity on high-speed lines up to ~100 Mbps - confirmed by its 144 pF junction capacitance and 180 K/W thermal resistance on standard PCB pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 58 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; suitable for 48 V nominal industrial bus systems. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 95 V max at IPPM = 95 A - limits downstream voltage stress during surge; critical for protecting 75 V-rated interface ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 95 A at 10/1000 μs waveform - supports robust surge handling per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (2 kV line-to-ground). |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds automotive EMC requirements for USB, CAN, and LIN ports. |
| Junction Capacitance | 144 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - low enough for RS-485 and CAN FD (≤5 Mbps) without signal distortion. |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HBM >8 kV and temperature cycling. |
Pinout & Package
The SMF58A-HE3_A08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: low-profile (1.08 mm height), SOD-123W-compatible outline, molded in UL 94 V-0 compound, MSL level 1, with cathode marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance reference; completes clamping loop during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection | Connected to I/O line (e.g., CAN_H); blocks normal operation voltage but conducts during surges above VRWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 200 W Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 μs) | Enables reliable protection against repetitive lightning-induced surges in industrial Ethernet ports without thermal runaway. |
| Low Incremental Surge Resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients - critical for safeguarding sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level receivers. |
| "Low Noise" Fast Response | Sub-ns turn-on time preserves signal edge integrity on high-speed serial buses like USB 2.0 and RS-422. |
| Solderable per J-STD-020 | Compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak ≤260 °C), supporting automated assembly in high-volume automotive production. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules, ADAS sensor interfaces, and body electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58A-E3/57T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.9 mm height vs. SMF's 1.08 mm; 100 A IPPM; 93.6 V VC; 150 pF capacitance. | Higher profile limits use in ultra-thin automotive modules; slightly lower clamping but higher capacitance affects >100 Mbps signals. | Prefer when board space allows taller components and higher surge margin is prioritized over capacitance. |
| TPSMD58A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 2.62 mm height; 100 A IPPM; 93.6 V VC; 160 pF; AEC-Q101 qualified. | Larger footprint and thermal mass suit high-power industrial drives but not compact infotainment PCBs. | Select for applications needing higher thermal dissipation in ambient >105 °C, such as motor control inverters. |
Compared with SMAJ58A-E3/57T and TPSMD58A, the SMF58A-HE3_A08 offers the lowest profile and best capacitance-to-surge ratio - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed automotive and industrial interfaces where board thickness and signal integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the reverse standoff voltage rating of the SMF58A-HE3_A08?
The SMF58A-HE3_A08 has a maximum reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 58 V, meaning it remains non-conductive below this voltage during normal operation. This value is critical for matching the protected circuit's operating voltage - for example, it aligns with 48 V nominal industrial buses or automotive subsystems where transient headroom must exceed steady-state levels. The SMF58A-HE3_A08 maintains <0.1 μA leakage at this voltage, minimizing power loss.
Is the SMF58A-HE3_A08 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the SMF58A-HE3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including human body model ESD >8 kV, temperature cycling, and high-temperature operating life. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment interfaces, and ADAS sensor connections. The SMF58A-HE3_A08 meets the full AEC-Q101 standard as documented in Vishay's Rev. 2.4 datasheet dated 04-Jul-2023.
What is the clamping voltage of the SMF58A-HE3_A08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF58A-HE3_A08 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 95 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 95 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This clamping performance ensures downstream components - such as CAN transceivers or RS-485 drivers rated for ≤100 V absolute maximum - remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The low incremental resistance of the SMF58A-HE3_A08 contributes directly to this tightly controlled VC.
Does the SMF58A-HE3_A08 support reflow soldering?
Yes, the SMF58A-HE3_A08 is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering processes, rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020. Its DO-219AB (SMF) package is wave and reflow solderable, with MSL level 1 handling - meaning floor life is unlimited when stored properly. This makes the SMF58A-HE3_A08 suitable for high-throughput SMT lines used in automotive electronics manufacturing.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the SMF58A-HE3_A08 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The SMF58A-HE3_A08 has a typical junction capacitance of 144 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. While higher than some ultra-low-capacitance TVS devices, this value is well-suited for protocols up to 10 Mbps (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD) and full-speed USB 2.0, where signal integrity remains intact. For higher-speed interfaces (>50 Mbps), designers should verify eye diagram margins - the SMF58A-HE3_A08's capacitance is a deliberate trade-off for its 95 A surge capability and low-profile form factor.
