Product details
Overview
SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for low-capacitance transient suppression on high-speed data lines. It features a 7.0 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 12.0 V maximum clamping voltage at 16.7 A peak pulse current, 843 pF typical capacitance at 0 V, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 datasheet, SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 pinout, SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 application, or SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD hardening of USB 2.0, HDMI, CAN FD, and automotive infotainment interfaces where low clamping voltage and sub-nanosecond response are critical to signal integrity and IC survivability.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) with avalanche breakdown behavior, optimized for fast transient suppression on single-ended I/O lines. Its low incremental surge resistance enables tight clamping (VC = 12.0 V @ IPPM = 16.7 A) under 10/1000 μs surges, while its "Low Noise" technology ensures sub-1 ns response time to ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2.
The device is rated for continuous operation from -65 °C to +175 °C, supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, and meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements including H3B-class human body model (>8 kV) - confirming suitability for under-hood and ADAS subsystems without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 7.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 3 μA; sets operating margin above nominal 5 V or 3.3 V bus voltages. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 12.0 V max @ 16.7 A - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs during 10/1000 μs surge, protecting 12 V-tolerant receivers. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 200 W @ 10/1000 μs - Sustains short-duration transients common in automotive load-dump or ISO 7637-2 pulses without failure. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 843 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and CAN FD (5 Mbps) without signal distortion or rise-time degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - Exceeds industrial and automotive ESD immunity requirements for exposed connectors. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems per stress test conditions. |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm low-profile outline enabling dense PCB layouts and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: a two-terminal, surface-mount, cathode-marked case with 3.9 mm length, 1.9 mm width, and 1.08 mm height. The cathode bar is located at one end; polarity must be observed during layout to ensure correct transient shunting path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.0A-E3/57T | Higher clamping voltage (12.5 V @ 17.1 A), larger SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm), 1000 W PPP (8/20 μs) | Better suited for higher-energy surges but less ideal for high-speed data due to higher capacitance (~1000 pF) | Select when surge energy exceeds 200 W and board space allows larger footprint. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, bidirectional, 12 pF capacitance, 5.5 V VRWM, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Optimized for ultra-high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0, HDMI) but lacks automotive qualification and lower surge rating | Choose for consumer-grade high-speed digital ports where ESD level is ≤±15 kV and AEC-Q101 is not required. |

FAQ
What is the reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of SMF7V0A-HE3_A08?
The reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 is 7.0 V - the maximum DC or continuous reverse working voltage that can be applied without exceeding the specified leakage current of 3 μA. This value ensures compatibility with 5 V logic systems while maintaining sufficient margin above nominal rail voltage to prevent false triggering during normal operation.
Is SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed all stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and human body model ESD (class H3B >8 kV). This qualification confirms its suitability for deployment in automotive ECUs, ADAS modules, and infotainment systems where reliability under extreme thermal and mechanical conditions is essential.
What is the clamping voltage of SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 is 12.0 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.7 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This clamping performance ensures downstream ICs experience limited overvoltage during transient events, preserving functionality and preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in sensitive interface receivers.
Does SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 support automated PCB assembly processes?
Yes, SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 is fully compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes including wave and reflow soldering. Its DO-219AB package meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 requirements with a peak reflow temperature of up to 260 °C, and its cathode marking and tape-and-reel packaging (3K per 7″ reel) enable seamless integration into high-volume SMT lines.
How does the capacitance of SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 affect high-speed signal integrity?
With a typical capacitance of 843 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz, SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 introduces minimal loading on USB 2.0 and CAN FD signals - preserving edge rates and eye diagram margins. Its low incremental surge resistance and sub-1 ns response time further ensure transient energy is shunted before signal distortion occurs, making SMF7V0A-HE3_A08 appropriate for data rates up to 480 Mbps without equalization.
