Product details
Overview
VETH100A203SHG3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a two-line bidirectional ESD-protection diode in SOT-23 package, rated for ±24 V working voltage, >100 V trigger voltage, and <2 pF capacitance, designed specifically for Automotive Ethernet 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 interfaces with AEC-Q101 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the VETH100A203SHG3-08 datasheet, VETH100A203SHG3-08 pinout, VETH100A203SHG3-08 application, or VETH100A203SHG3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include snap-back clamping performance at 1 A TLP (VC ≤ 31 V), dynamic resistance ≤ 0.4 Ω, ISO 10605/IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV contact discharge immunity, and OPEN Alliance compliance for automotive unshielded twisted-pair networks.
Technical Context
The VETH100A203SHG3-08 implements a snap-back triggered silicon avalanche structure optimized for high-voltage transient suppression on differential Ethernet pairs. Its trigger voltage exceeds 100 V to avoid interference with normal signal swing while enabling low-clamping operation below 31 V at 1 A TLP current.
It delivers bidirectional protection across two independent channels with leakage current ≤ 0.1 μA at 24 V reverse bias, dynamic resistance ≤ 0.4 Ω in snap-back state, and capacitance of 1.75 pF (typ.) at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - ensuring minimal signal integrity impact on 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps automotive Ethernet links.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Protection Channels | 2 independent bidirectional lines - supports full-duplex 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 differential pair protection |
| Working Voltage (VRWM) | ±24 V - compatible with automotive Ethernet common-mode voltage range and supply rail margins |
| Trigger Voltage (VT) | >100 V (TLP, 1 A) - prevents false triggering during normal signal operation up to ±24 V |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 31 V max at 1 A TLP - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for PHY ICs and magnetics |
| Capacitance (CD) | 1.75 pF typ. at 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity and meets IEEE 802.3bw/bp return loss requirements |
| ESD Immunity | ±15 kV contact discharge per ISO 10605 & IEC 61000-4-2 - satisfies automotive EMC test plans |
| Dynamic Resistance (rdyn) | 0.4 Ω typ. - ensures stable clamping voltage across pulse current variations |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Channel 1 Anode / Cathode (bidirectional) | Connected to first Ethernet differential line (e.g., CH0+); symmetric conduction path for ±ESD events |
| Pin 2 | GND | Common ground reference for both protection channels; must be low-inductance connection to system chassis ground |
| Pin 3 | Channel 2 Anode / Cathode (bidirectional) | Connected to second Ethernet differential line (e.g., CH0−); enables dual-line protection without external components |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 Compliance | Validated per IEEE EMC Test Specifications for Suppression Devices - required for automotive Ethernet Tier-1 qualification |
| Snap-back Triggering | Enables low clamping voltage (≤31 V @ 1 A) only after >100 V transient - avoids interference with 24 V operating window |
| Sub-2 pF Capacitance | 1.75 pF typ. minimizes insertion loss and return loss degradation at 100 MHz–1 GHz - critical for 1 Gbps link margin |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Qualified for automotive underhood and cabin environments - supports -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature operation |
| Low-Leakage Protection | 0.1 μA max IR at 24 V - prevents DC loading of Ethernet termination resistors and PHY bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEMTECH RCLAMP0524P.TCT | Unidirectional configuration; 5.5 V VRWM; 0.3 pF capacitance; no AEC-Q101 or OPEN Alliance validation | Targeted at low-voltage consumer USB/MIPI interfaces - not rated for ±24 V automotive Ethernet operation | Select only for non-automotive, low-voltage, high-speed serial links where snap-back behavior is unnecessary |
| ON Semiconductor NUF2221MUTAG | 2-channel bidirectional; 5 V VRWM; 0.65 pF; AEC-Q101 qualified but not OPEN Alliance tested | Suitable for CAN FD or LIN bus protection - insufficient working voltage margin for 100BASE-T1 common-mode transients | Use where lower clamping voltage (<12 V) is prioritized over high-voltage tolerance - not compliant with IEEE 802.3bw EMC requirements |
Compared with RCLAMP0524P.TCT and NUF2221MUTAG, the VETH100A203SHG3-08 uniquely combines ±24 V working voltage, >100 V snap-back trigger, OPEN Alliance certification, and automotive-grade reliability - making it the only qualified solution for production 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 physical layer protection.

The VETH100A203SHG3-08 clamps to 31 V maximum at 1 A transmission line pulse (TLP) with 100 ns pulse width. At 10 A TLP, clamping voltage rises to 34 V max. This low clamping level protects sensitive Ethernet PHY ICs while maintaining compatibility with 24 V automotive supply rails and common-mode voltage tolerances.
Is the VETH100A203SHG3-08 qualified for automotive underhood applications?
Yes, the VETH100A203SHG3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures from -55 °C to +150 °C. Its SOT-23 package meets MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports peak reflow at 260 °C - fulfilling requirements for engine bay, transmission control, and other high-temperature automotive zones.
Does the VETH100A203SHG3-08 support both 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards?
Yes, the VETH100A203SHG3-08 is explicitly validated per OPEN Alliance IEEE 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 EMC Test Specifications for Suppression Devices. Its 1.75 pF capacitance, low insertion loss, and snap-back behavior ensure compliance with signal integrity and transient immunity requirements for both speeds.
How is the VETH100A203SHG3-08 configured for bidirectional protection?
The VETH100A203SHG3-08 uses an integrated dual-channel symmetric snap-back structure: Pin 1 and Pin 3 serve as bidirectional terminals for two independent Ethernet lines, while Pin 2 is the shared ground. Each channel conducts equally for positive and negative transients - eliminating need for external series resistors or polarity-aware layout.
What packaging and reel options are available for the VETH100A203SHG3-08?
The VETH100A203SHG3-08 ships in SOT-23 package on 8 mm carrier tape: standard option is 3,000 units per 7-inch reel (code "08"), with 10,000 units per 13-inch reel also available (code "18"). Both variants feature Sn (e3) lead plating and comply with RoHS and lead-free soldering standards.
