Product details
Overview
SMF58A-HM3_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 0 V - ideal for protecting USB 2.0, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF58A-HM3_A08 datasheet, SMF58A-HM3_A08 pinout, SMF58A-HM3_A08 application, or SMF58A-HM3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 50 A surge, low capacitance for signal integrity, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and thermal resistance of 180 K/W on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel, unidirectional TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior. Its junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +175 °C, and it sustains 1000 W peak pulse power per IEC 61000-4-5 (8/20 μs), while delivering 200 W at the longer 10/1000 μs waveform used for system-level surge testing.
The SMF58A-HM3_A08 uses "Low Noise" technology for sub-nanosecond response time and exhibits low incremental surge resistance to minimize voltage overshoot during fast transients. Its reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 μA at VRWM = 58 V, ensuring minimal standby power impact in always-on circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 58 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; ensures compatibility with 48 V industrial and 54 V automotive supply rails. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 95 V max at IPPM = 95 A - limits downstream voltage stress during surge events; critical for safeguarding 75 V-rated interface ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 95 A at 10/1000 μs - supports robust protection against lightning-induced surges and inductive switching transients. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 144 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for <15 Mbps digital interfaces (e.g., CAN FD, RS-485) without signal distortion. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for handheld and exposed connectors. |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 180 K/W on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads - enables reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature with moderate PCB copper area. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications including body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS sensor interfaces. |

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 (Vishay) | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.9 mm height vs. SMF's 1.08 mm; 100 A IPPM; 93.6 V VC; 170 pF capacitance. | Higher profile limits use in ultra-thin devices; higher capacitance may affect >10 Mbps signals. | Choose SMAJ58A-E3/5A only when board space allows taller components and signal bandwidth is ≤5 Mbps. |
| TPD2E001DRYR (TI) | 0.65 mm × 0.65 mm DRY (X2SON) package; dual-channel; 12 V VRWM; 12 pF capacitance; ±8 kV ESD. | Not voltage-scaled for 48–58 V systems; intended for low-voltage data lines (USB, I²C), not power rail protection. | Use TPD2E001DRYR only for low-voltage, high-speed signal lines where VRWM ≤12 V and capacitance <15 pF is mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ58A-E3/5A and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF58A-HM3_A08 uniquely balances 58 V standoff, 144 pF capacitance, and ultra-low profile (1.08 mm) for space-constrained 48 V+ interfaces requiring automotive-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMF58A-HM3_A08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF58A-HM3_A08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 95 V when subjected to its rated 95 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures protected ICs see no more than 95 V during surge events - critical for maintaining safety margins in 48 V and 54 V automotive systems where SMF58A-HM3_A08 is commonly deployed.
Is SMF58A-HM3_A08 qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, SMF58A-HM3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed accelerated stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - all required for automotive electronic components. This qualification confirms SMF58A-HM3_A08 is suitable for under-hood and cabin applications such as engine control modules and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under extreme conditions is mandatory.
What is the capacitance of SMF58A-HM3_A08, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
SMF58A-HM3_A08 has a typical capacitance of 144 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value is low enough to avoid significant signal integrity degradation on interfaces up to 15 Mbps (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD), but not suitable for USB 3.0 or HDMI TMDS lanes (>1 Gbps). For SMF58A-HM3_A08, the 144 pF capacitance represents an optimal trade-off between surge handling capability and signal-line compatibility in medium-speed industrial and automotive data links.
Can SMF58A-HM3_A08 be used in place of SMF48A-HM3_A08 for higher-voltage protection?
No - SMF58A-HM3_A08 is not a drop-in replacement for SMF48A-HM3_A08 due to differing electrical parameters: SMF58A-HM3_A08 has a 58 V VRWM and 95 V VC, whereas SMF48A-HM3_A08 has 48 V VRWM and 77.4 V VC. Substituting SMF58A-HM3_A08 would raise the clamping threshold, potentially exposing downstream ICs to overvoltage. Always verify system voltage margins and transient profiles before selecting SMF58A-HM3_A08 in place of lower-voltage variants.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for SMF58A-HM3_A08, and is it compatible with automated assembly?
The recommended footprint for SMF58A-HM3_A08 follows the DO-219AB outline: 2.9 mm pad length, 1.3 mm pad width, 1.4 mm pad spacing, with 1.3 mm solder mask opening. It is fully compatible with wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C. The SMF58A-HM3_A08 footprint matches SOD-123W, enabling reuse of existing stencil designs - a key advantage for high-volume manufacturing of SMF58A-HM3_A08-based boards.
