Product details
Overview
VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional ESD-protection diode in DFN1006-2A package, designed for single-line I/O line protection with 14 V reverse standoff voltage, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge immunity, and 29 pF capacitance at 1 MHz - deployed in automotive infotainment data lines and USB 2.0 interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 datasheet, VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 pinout, VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 application, or VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 8/20 μs surge (23 V typ.), dynamic resistance (0.48 Ω), junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-channel unidirectional TVS structure optimized for low-capacitance, high-speed signal line protection. It features a silicon avalanche diode architecture with controlled breakdown at 16 V (typ.) and clamps transients to ≤27 V at 4 A peak pulse current per IEC 61000-4-5.
Its DFN1006-2A footprint supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and reflow soldering up to 260 °C, with MSL level 1 rating and UL 94 V-0 molding compound - enabling integration into space-constrained automotive and portable electronics PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 14 V - maximum continuous working voltage before conduction; defines safe operating margin for 12 V automotive bus or USB 2.0 signal lines. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 15.2–16.8 V @ 1 mA - precise avalanche threshold ensuring predictable turn-on during ESD events. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 19–27 V @ 4 A, 8/20 μs - limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs to safe levels during surge events. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 industrial and automotive ESD requirements. |
| Capacitance | 24.6–33.4 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on high-speed 480 Mbps USB 2.0 lines. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.48 Ω (typ.) - ensures rapid voltage clamping response and minimal overshoot during fast transients. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments and extended industrial operation. |
Pinout & Package

Use Value: 24.6–33.4 pF capacitance prevents jitter accumulation in multi-MHz clock/data streams; 30 kV immunity covers end-user handling during product assembly and service. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional ESD-protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ14A | DO-214AC package (3.5 mm × 1.9 mm), 14 V standoff, 30 kV ESD, but 100+ pF capacitance. | Not suitable for >10 Mbps data lines due to excessive capacitance; limited to power rail or low-speed GPIO protection. | Select only if board space allows larger footprint and signal speed < 1 Mbps. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel bidirectional array in DFN1006-3 (0.98 mm × 1.02 mm), 5.5 V standoff, 12 pF, no AEC-Q101 option. | Designed for dual-line protection (e.g., USB D+/D–), lacks 14 V standoff needed for 12 V bias rails. | Prefer for USB 2.0 full-differential protection where lower standoff and bidirectionality are required. |
Compared with SMAJ14A and TPD2E001DRYR, VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 uniquely balances 14 V standoff, 29 pF capacitance, and AEC-Q101 readiness in a 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed, automotive-grade single-line protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 under IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 μs surge?
The VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 27 V when subjected to a 4 A peak pulse current with an 8/20 μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe voltage margins during surge events. The typical clamping voltage is 23 V, and the device maintains this performance with a dynamic resistance of 0.48 Ω.
Is VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the functionally identical variant VMMBZ16C1HD1HG3-08 carries full AEC-Q101 qualification. Both share identical electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and marking layout - differing only in test certification and ordering code suffix 'H'. For automotive applications requiring qualification evidence, VMMBZ16C1HD1HG3-08 must be specified.
What is the capacitance of VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signals?
VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 has a typical capacitance of 29 pF measured at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes signal distortion and rise-time degradation on high-speed lines such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) or MIPI D-PHY, where excess capacitance can cause intersymbol interference or timing skew. Its 24.6–33.4 pF range is tightly controlled to ensure consistent signal integrity across production lots.
Can VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 protect bidirectional data lines like USB D+ and D–?
No - VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 is strictly unidirectional and protects only one polarity of transient. For bidirectional lines such as USB D+ and D–, two separate VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 devices are required (one per line, anode to signal, cathode to ground), or a dedicated dual-channel bidirectional device like TPD2E001DRYR should be used instead. Its unidirectional architecture ensures optimal clamping for DC-biased signal paths.
What is the thermal performance limit of VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 in continuous operation?
VMMBZ16C1HD1-G3-08 supports continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with no derating required up to +150 °C. Its DFN1006-2A package achieves this via low thermal resistance to ambient (approx. 300 K/W) and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant molding compound. At 150 °C, reverse leakage remains below 10 μA at 14 V, ensuring stable protection behavior in under-hood automotive environments.
