Product details
Overview
VTVS28ASMF-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 DC lines such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features a 27.9 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 31.4–34.7 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and clamps to ≤47 V at 8.21 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs).
For engineers reviewing the VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SMF package dimensions, IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world clamping behavior for robust overvoltage design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 31.4–34.7 V breakdown threshold. Its low 20 K/W thermal resistance (junction-to-lead) enables effective power dissipation during 400 W 10/1000 μs transients, with sub-nanosecond response time ensuring protection before downstream IC damage occurs.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air discharge) and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. Its 1.08 mm height and SOD-123W-compatible SMF (DO-219AB) footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining wave and reflow solderability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform; sustains repeated surges without degradation) |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 27.9 V (maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 0.05 μA) |

Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | Automotive Sensor Interfaces |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of USB 2.0 D+/D− lines against ESD events during hot-plug and handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed between data line and ground to shunt ESD current away from USB transceiver. Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤47 V within nanoseconds, preserving signal integrity and preventing PHY latch-up at 480 Mbps. |
Use Scenario: Surge suppression on LIN bus or analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated protector that remains non-conductive below 27.9 V but clamps fast-rising load-dump spikes. Use Value: Withstands −55 °C to +175 °C operation and passes AEC-Q101 stress tests, enabling direct placement near sensors. |
| Industrial HMI Touch Panels | DC Power Input Protection |
Use Scenario: ESD hardening of capacitive touch controller I/O pins exposed on front-panel overlays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (412 pF) TVS limiting voltage overshoot on touch-sense lines during user interaction. Use Value: Prevents false touches and firmware resets caused by ±30 kV contact discharge without degrading touch sensitivity. |
Use Scenario: Secondary overvoltage clamp on 24 V DC input rails feeding PLC I/O modules or motor drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response backup protector activated after primary fuse or polyfuse opens during sustained overvoltage. Use Value: Delivers 400 W pulse handling to absorb residual energy from inductive kickback or lightning-induced surges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A | Same VRWM (28 V), but higher VC (49.9 V at 7.2 A); SMA package (larger, 2.4 mm height) | Less suitable for ultra-thin designs; lower peak pulse current rating (7.2 A vs. 8.21 A) | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board height >2.4 mm is acceptable. |
| SMF28A | Identical SMF package and VRWM (28 V), but ±10 % VBR tolerance (vs. ±5 %); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not approved for automotive use; wider VBR spread increases risk of premature conduction or inadequate clamping | Choose only for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 and tight VBR are non-critical. |
Compared with SMAJ28A and SMF28A, VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 offers tighter VBR tolerance, higher surge current capability, AEC-Q101 validation, and lower profile-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial designs requiring guaranteed clamping performance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 clamps to a maximum of 47 V at its rated peak pulse current of 8.21 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Is VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock required for automotive electronic components. This qualification covers the full SMF package variant and applies directly to the VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 ordering code.
What does the "HM3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08?
The "HM3-08" suffix denotes halogen-free (H), RoHS-compliant and lead-free terminations (M), tape-and-reel packaging (3), and 3000 units per 7-inch reel (08). This matches Vishay's standard ordering nomenclature for the eSMP® Series and confirms compliance with environmental standards and automated assembly requirements.
Can VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 be used for bidirectional signal lines?
No, VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used only on circuits referenced to ground with polarity-aware placement (cathode toward protected line). For bidirectional protection-such as RS-485 or AC-coupled interfaces-a symmetric dual-diode configuration or dedicated bidirectional part like VTVS28BSMF-HM3-08 is required.
What is the typical junction capacitance of VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 and its impact on signal lines?
VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 has a typical junction capacitance of 412 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. This value makes it suitable for DC and low-speed digital lines (e.g., USB 2.0, LIN, I²C), but unsuitable for high-speed interfaces like USB 3.x or HDMI, where sub-2 pF capacitance is typically required to avoid signal distortion and insertion loss.
