Product details
Overview
SMF8V0A-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for low-capacitance transient voltage suppression in high-speed data lines. It features a 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 13.6 V maximum clamping voltage at 14.7 A peak pulse current, and 706 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF8V0A-HM3-08 datasheet, SMF8V0A-HM3-08 pinout, SMF8V0A-HM3-08 application, or SMF8V0A-HM3-08 equivalent, this device delivers verified ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low-noise fast-response clamping for robust signal integrity in automotive infotainment and industrial I/O protection.
Technical Context
The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 8.89–9.9 V breakdown range (VBR). Its low 0.1 μA maximum reverse leakage at VRWM ensures minimal signal loading on high-impedance nodes.
It employs Vishay's "Low Noise" silicon technology to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and stable clamping under 10/1000 μs surge waveforms. The device sustains 200 W peak pulse power and meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements including H3B-class human body model (>8 kV) and ±30 kV contact/air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 8.0 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; compatible with 5 V and 3.3 V logic rails. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 8.89–9.9 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on margin above VRWM for stable overvoltage protection. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 13.6 V max at 14.7 A IPPM - limits downstream IC voltage during ESD events to safe levels for 5 V-tolerant interfaces. |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 706 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and industrial analog sensor lines without signal distortion. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for consumer and automotive end equipment. |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm footprint enables dense PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A | Higher 14.4 V clamping voltage at same IPPM; SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm) vs. DO-219AB (3.9 × 1.9 mm). | Larger footprint limits use in space-constrained USB ports; better suited for 24 V industrial power rail protection. | Select SMAJ8.0A only if board layout allows larger package and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for downstream ICs. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Two-channel, 14 pF capacitance, integrated ESD array; not AEC-Q101 qualified; lower 12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating. | Designed for ultra-high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., HDMI 2.0); lacks automotive qualification and high-energy surge capability. | Choose TPD2E001DRYR for consumer-grade HDMI or MIPI lanes where size and capacitance dominate; avoid for automotive or industrial surge-critical designs. |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, SMF8V0A-HM3-08 uniquely balances automotive qualification, compact DO-219AB packaging, and 706 pF capacitance-making it optimal for USB 2.0 and RS-485 protection where both ESD robustness and signal fidelity are required.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMF8V0A-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.6 V at 14.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per standard test methods in the Vishay datasheet Rev. 2.4 and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe voltage limits during ESD events. The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 achieves consistent clamping due to its low incremental surge resistance and optimized silicon junction design.
Is SMF8V0A-HM3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMF8V0A-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness per automotive standards. Its operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and qualification documentation (Document Number: 85881) confirm suitability for under-hood and dashboard applications. The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product table.
What is the junction capacitance of SMF8V0A-HM3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signals?
The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 exhibits 706 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value is measured per Vishay's characterization and supports signal integrity in USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and industrial analog sensor outputs. While higher than some ultra-low-capacitance arrays, this capacitance introduces negligible group delay on sub-250 MHz signals - confirmed by Vishay's Fig. 5–7 capacitance vs. voltage curves. The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 remains appropriate for medium-speed data lines where surge energy handling outweighs ultra-low-C trade-offs.
Does SMF8V0A-HM3-08 have polarity marking, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, SMF8V0A-HM3-08 uses a cathode bar marking on the device body, aligned with Pin 2 (cathode terminal). Per Vishay's orientation diagram (Document 85881, page 6), the cathode bar faces the direction of tape unreeling in the 8 mm carrier tape. On PCB layout, the cathode must connect to system ground or the lowest potential node in the protected circuit. The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 is unidirectional and will not clamp correctly if reversed during placement.
What is the maximum peak pulse power rating for SMF8V0A-HM3-08 and under which waveform?
The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 is rated for 200 W peak pulse power under the 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform, and 1000 W under the 8/20 μs IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveform. These values are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 2) of Vishay Document 85881. The 200 W rating reflects its primary ESD protection capability, while the higher 1000 W rating applies to longer-duration lightning-induced surges - both validated per industry-standard test protocols. The SMF8V0A-HM3-08 maintains these ratings across its full operating temperature range.
