Product details
Overview
VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for ESD and surge protection on low-voltage DC lines such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features 18.7 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 21.61–22.50 V reverse breakdown (VBR at IT = 1 mA), 31 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.84 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VBR tolerance, 558 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, 175 °C max junction temperature, halogen-free construction, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint for high-density PCB layouts.
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 ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) ensures minimal overvoltage stress during 10/1000 μs transients up to 400 W.
The SMF package enables wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1, with thermal resistance RthJL = 20 K/W to leads and peak reflow temperature ≤260 °C. It delivers ±30 kV contact/air discharge ESD protection while maintaining stable leakage (<0.05 μA at VRWM) across -55 to +175 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 18.7 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines protected line's nominal operating voltage ceiling |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 21.61–22.50 V at IT = 1 mA - Tight ±2 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on timing for precision clamping |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 31 V at IPPM = 12.84 A - Limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream ICs like USB PHYs or CAN transceivers |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 400 W (10/1000 μs) - Sustains high-energy surges common in automotive load-dump or industrial EFT events |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 558 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - Low enough for USB 2.0 signal integrity; requires layout mitigation for >100 MHz interfaces |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Meets stringent automotive and industrial end-equipment immunity requirements |
| Operating Temperature | -55 to +175 °C - Supports under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and harsh-environment applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMF (DO-219AB), low-profile surface-mount case compatible with SOD-123W footprint; dimensions 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm; cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms clamping loop with cathode |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to signal/power line requiring protection; avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % VBR tolerance | Enables precise clamping threshold alignment with 18.7 V supply rails, reducing design margin uncertainty |
| "Low-Noise" fast response | Sub-nanosecond turn-on minimizes voltage overshoot during ESD events, protecting sensitive analog and high-speed digital inputs |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets automotive ELV and industrial environmental compliance mandates without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option available | Supports automotive-grade reliability validation (not inherent to -M3-08 suffix but confirmed available in same family) |
| MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking, simplifying manufacturing logistics |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN/CAN sensor nodes (e.g., pressure, temperature) from ISO 7637-2 pulses and ESD in engine bay environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp transients before reaching MCU input pins. Use Value: Maintains 18.7 V VRWM compatibility with 12 V automotive systems while surviving 175 °C ambient and ±30 kV ESD. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB 2.0 D+/D− lines against human-body-model ESD and cable-induced surges in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; unidirectional VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 used on VBUS or individual data lines where polarity is fixed. Use Value: 558 pF capacitance preserves signal integrity up to 480 Mbps; 31 V clamping prevents damage to USB transceivers rated for ≤36 V abs max. |
| Industrial PLC Digital I/O | DC Power Rail Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Shielding 24 V digital input modules from inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges on factory floor wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted at connector entry point to shunt energy away from optocoupler or Schmitt-trigger input stages. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating handles repetitive 10/1000 μs surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3; 20 K/W RthJL aids thermal dissipation on dense PCBs. |
Use Scenario: Clamping 19 V regulated DC rails (e.g., PoE-powered devices, telecom modules) against load-dump and hot-swap spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed in parallel with bulk capacitor to limit rail overvoltage during sudden current interruption. Use Value: 18.7 V VRWM allows margin above nominal 19 V rail while ensuring reliable conduction before downstream regulator overvoltage shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ19A | ±5 % VBR tolerance (19.0–21.0 V), higher VC = 32.4 V at 12.3 A, same SMF package | Less precise clamping threshold; suitable where tighter VBR matching is not critical | Select SMAJ19A for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ±5 % tolerance suffices and 1.4 V higher clamping is acceptable |
| TPSMD19A | Same ±2 % VBR spec, but 500 W PPP rating, 33.2 V VC at 15.1 A, slightly larger SMC package | Higher power handling trades off board space; better for infrequent high-energy surges | Choose TPSMD19A when system-level testing reveals need for >400 W surge margin or when thermal mass supports larger package |
Compared with VTVS19GSMF-M3-08, SMAJ19A offers lower cost but looser voltage tolerance and higher clamping, while TPSMD19A provides greater surge robustness at the expense of footprint size and thermal coupling efficiency.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage range for VTVS19GSMF-M3-08?
The VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 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 consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature ranges, critical for protecting 19 V nominal rails without premature conduction.
Is VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 meets key automotive requirements including operation from -55 to +175 °C, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, halogen-free construction, and compatibility with AEC-Q101-qualified variants in the same family. While the -M3-08 suffix denotes standard reliability, the underlying SMF platform is validated for under-hood use cases.
What does the "G" in VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 signify?
The "G" in VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 indicates ±2 % tolerance on the reverse breakdown voltage (VBR), distinguishing it from "A"-suffixed parts (e.g., VTVS19ASMF-M3-08) which carry ±5 % tolerance. This tighter tolerance directly impacts clamping predictability and is essential for designs with narrow voltage margins around 19 V rails.
Can VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 be used for bidirectional protection?
No - VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC circuits with defined polarity. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode voltage by ≥VBR. For AC or bidirectional signal lines (e.g., RS-485), a dedicated bidirectional part or back-to-back configuration is required.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for VTVS19GSMF-M3-08?
VTVS19GSMF-M3-08 uses the SMF (DO-219AB) package, mechanically compatible with SOD-123W footprints. Vishay recommends a pad layout with 2.9 mm length, 1.4 mm width, and 1.3 mm spacing between pads - matching the 3.9 × 1.9 mm body and enabling optimal thermal transfer and solder joint reliability during reflow.
