Product details
Overview
VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for ESD and surge protection of low-voltage signal lines. It features a 18.7 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 21.61–22.50 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 31 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.84 A peak pulse current, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity-used in automotive infotainment data lines.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VBR tolerance, 558 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V, 175 °C max junction temperature, halogen-free construction, and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its precisely specified breakdown range (21.61–22.50 V). Its low-clamping performance (VC = 31 V @ IPPM = 12.84 A) ensures robust protection of downstream ICs during 10/1000 μs transients.
The SMF package enables high-density PCB layout with wave and reflow solder compatibility, while its MSL level 1 rating and 260 °C peak reflow tolerance support automated assembly. The 558 pF capacitance is optimized for USB 2.0 and CAN FD signal integrity without compromising protection speed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VTVS19ASMF-HM3-08 | ±5 % VBR tolerance (20.9–23.2 V) vs. ±2 % for VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 | Suitable where looser voltage margin is acceptable (e.g., non-safety-critical consumer ports) | Select VTVS19ASMF-HM3-08 for cost-sensitive designs not requiring AEC-Q101 or tight VBR control |
| SMAJ19A-E3/5AT | Higher clamping voltage (33.2 V @ 12.3 A); same 400 W rating but lower surge current capability | Used in industrial power supplies where PCB space allows larger SMA package | Choose SMAJ19A-E3/5AT only if SMF footprint is unavailable and 2.2 V higher VC is tolerable |

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08?
The VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 has a reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) of 21.61 V minimum to 22.50 V maximum at IT = 1 mA and TJ = 25 °C, reflecting its ±2 % tolerance grade. This tight specification ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision voltage rail protection circuits and is confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 85891, Rev. 2.2.
Is VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and ESD required for automotive electronic components. This qualification is explicitly stated in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 85891) and applies to the HM3-08 variant.
What does the "HM3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08?
The "HM3-08" suffix denotes halogen-free (H), lead-free tin-plated terminations (M), 3 k per 7″ reel packaging (3), and RoHS-compliant environmental coding (08). This matches Vishay's ordering nomenclature in the "ORDERING INFORMATION" table of Document Number 85891, confirming full regulatory compliance and standard SMT handling compatibility.
Can VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 be used in bidirectional signal lines?
No, VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used only on circuits with defined polarity-such as single-ended signals referenced to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB D+/D−), a dedicated bidirectional TVS like VTVS19B or dual-unidirectional configuration is required; this limitation is inherent to its internal structure and specified in the "Polarity" field of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (RthJL) of VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08?
The thermal resistance from junction to lead (RthJL) for VTVS19GSMF-HM3-08 is 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink, as specified in the "ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS" table of Document Number 85891. This value enables accurate junction temperature estimation during surge events and confirms suitability for high-temperature automotive environments up to 175 °C.
