Product details
Overview
SMF58A-HM3-18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, rated for 58 V standoff voltage, 95 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), 95 V maximum clamping voltage, 144 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity - deployed for high-reliability transient suppression on USB 2.0 data lines, HDMI hot-plug interfaces, and automotive infotainment I/O.
For engineers reviewing the SMF58A-HM3-18 datasheet, SMF58A-HM3-18 pinout, SMF58A-HM3-18 application, or SMF58A-HM3-18 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package dimensions, clamping behavior under surge conditions, thermal resistance (180 K/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status to support robust ESD design-in decisions.
Technical Context
The SMF58A-HM3-18 operates as a unidirectional TVS diode with avalanche breakdown mechanism, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance to clamp transients before system-level damage occurs. Its junction temperature range spans –65 °C to +175 °C, and it sustains 200 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01% duty cycle.
Designed for compatibility with SOD-123W/SOD-123F/SOD-123FL footprints, the device uses epoxy molding compound rated UL 94 V-0 and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling wave and reflow soldering without moisture sensitivity concerns. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 μA |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 95 A - clamps 10/1000 μs surge events up to this amplitude while holding VC ≤ 95 V |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 95 V max at IPPM - limits downstream IC voltage stress during ESD or lightning-induced surges |
| Capacitance (CD) | 144 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - low enough for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI 1.4 signal integrity |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds industrial and automotive ESD test requirements |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 180 K/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation on standard 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications including infotainment, body control, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI Hot-Plug Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines against ESD events during cable insertion/removal in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed between data line and ground, clamping transients before they reach USB transceiver inputs. Use Value: 144 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity loss at 480 Mbps; 95 V clamping prevents damage to 3.3 V tolerant PHY circuitry. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI CEC and HPD pins from electrostatic discharge during consumer AV equipment interconnection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS element connected inline with hot-plug detection circuitry to suppress contact discharge up to ±30 kV. Use Value: 58 V VRWM matches HDMI HPD logic-high threshold (typically 4.5–5.5 V) with ample margin; low leakage (<0.1 μA) avoids false HPD assertion. |
| Automotive Infotainment I/O | Industrial CAN FD Transceiver Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding touchscreen controller GPIOs and audio codec I²S lines in vehicle head units exposed to cabin ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ESD shunt on low-voltage digital I/O nets, leveraging AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood and cabin deployment. Use Value: –65 °C to +175 °C operating range accommodates extended automotive thermal profiles; 180 K/W RthJA enables thermal stability on compact PCBs. | Use Scenario: Adding secondary ESD protection ahead of CAN FD transceivers in factory automation gateways where bus nodes face frequent operator interaction. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor on CANH/CANL lines, complementing integrated transceiver ESD structures. Use Value: 95 V clamping voltage stays below CAN FD common-mode tolerance (±36 V typical), preventing latch-up while absorbing >200 W surges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58A-E3/5A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.9 mm height vs. SMF's 1.08 mm; 100 A IPPM; 93.6 V VC | Higher profile limits use in ultra-thin consumer devices; same VRWM and clamping performance | Select SMAJ58A-E3/5A only if board space allows taller package and legacy SMA footprint is preferred. |
| TPSMD58A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 2.62 mm height; 100 A IPPM; 93.6 V VC; higher RthJA (125 K/W) | Greater thermal mass improves single-pulse energy handling but increases board footprint by ~3× | Choose TPSMD58A for high-energy surge environments where thermal derating dominates over size constraints. |
Compared with SMAJ58A-E3/5A and TPSMD58A, SMF58A-HM3-18 delivers identical 58 V standoff and ±30 kV ESD rating in a 45% lower profile package - making it optimal for space-constrained USB/HDMI interfaces where low capacitance and minimal board real estate are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF58A-HM3-18 under a 95 A surge?
The SMF58A-HM3-18 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 95 V when subjected to its rated 95 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet Rev. 2.4 and ensures downstream 5 V or 3.3 V logic remains within safe operating limits during transient events. The SMF58A-HM3-18 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast avalanche response.
Is SMF58A-HM3-18 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, SMF58A-HM3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 85881, Rev. 2.4). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness, validating its suitability for automotive applications such as infotainment, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory. The SMF58A-HM3-18 meets human body model Class H3B (>8 kV).
What is the capacitance of SMF58A-HM3-18 at 0 V reverse bias?
The SMF58A-HM3-18 exhibits a typical capacitance (CD) of 144 pF at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured under standardized AC conditions and remains stable across operating temperature. For high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0, this capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion while maintaining effective ESD suppression - a key design advantage of the SMF58A-HM3-18 over higher-capacitance alternatives.
Does SMF58A-HM3-18 support reflow soldering?
Yes, SMF58A-HM3-18 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes, rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020. Its DO-219AB (SMF) package uses UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding compound and is classified MSL Level 1 - meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. This makes the SMF58A-HM3-18 ideal for high-volume automated PCB manufacturing without moisture sensitivity concerns.
What is the standoff voltage rating of SMF58A-HM3-18?
The SMF58A-HM3-18 has a maximum working standoff voltage (VRWM) of 58 V, defined as the highest DC or continuous reverse voltage that can be applied without exceeding 0.1 μA leakage current. This rating ensures reliable blocking during normal operation while allowing rapid avalanche conduction during ESD events. The 58 V VRWM aligns with industrial and automotive I/O voltage margins - a core specification distinguishing the SMF58A-HM3-18 within the SMF family.
