Product details
Overview
VTVS28ASMF-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 of low-voltage DC lines. It features a 27.9 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 31.4–34.7 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR at IT = 1 mA), 47 A peak pulse current (IPPM, 10/1000 μs), 47 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 412 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V - deployed in automotive infotainment power rails and USB-C port protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 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 under 10/1000 μs transients - critical for robust front-end protection design in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with fast response time enabled by Vishay's "Low-Noise" technology. Its 20 K/W thermal resistance (RthJL) and 175 °C maximum junction temperature support high-reliability operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The SMF (DO-219AB) package provides compatibility with SOD-123W/SOD-123F footprints while delivering 400 W peak pulse power handling. Its halogen-free molding compound, MSL level 1 rating, and reflow-solderable construction meet automotive and industrial assembly requirements.

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-E3/57T | Same VRWM (28 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (49.1 V), larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm) | Less suitable for space-constrained USB-C or automotive camera modules due to 2.5× larger footprint | Select VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 when board area is limited and AEC-Q101 qualification is required. |
| TPSMD28A | Same VRWM (28 V), identical DO-219AB package, but only ±30 kV ESD (no AEC-Q101 listing in public docs) | Lacks automotive qualification evidence; not recommended for OEM vehicle programs requiring audit-ready compliance | Choose VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 where automotive-grade traceability and full AEC-Q101 test reports are mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ28A-E3/57T and TPSMD28A, the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 delivers identical surge rating in a smaller footprint and includes documented AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for next-gen automotive and compact industrial designs demanding both size efficiency and compliance assurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 47 V at its rated peak pulse current of 8.21 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +175 °C.
Is the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Rev. 2.2, 19-Nov-2021, Doc. #85891). This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, AC/DC life test, and ESD, validating its suitability for automotive electronic control units. The VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 carries the "M3" environmental and quality code denoting AEC-Q101 compliance and RoHS/lead-free termination.
What is the junction capacitance of the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 exhibits 412 pF typical junction capacitance at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz. While acceptable for DC power rails and low-speed analog signals (e.g., 4–20 mA loops), this capacitance may attenuate edge rates on high-speed digital lines such as USB 2.0 or HDMI. For those applications, designers should verify signal integrity via simulation or prototype testing - the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 remains appropriate for VBUS and CC line protection where bandwidth constraints permit.
Does the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 support reflow soldering, and what are the peak temperature limits?
Yes, the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes. Its SMF (DO-219AB) package is rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C, conforming to J-STD-020 MSL level 1 requirements. The device uses tin-plated terminations and halogen-free molding compound, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly lines without special handling or baking.
How does the ±5 % VBR tolerance of the VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 impact system-level protection design?
The ±5 % VBR tolerance (denoted by the "A" suffix in VTVS28ASMF-M3-08) ensures tight control over the avalanche initiation point - ranging from 31.4 V to 34.7 V at IT = 1 mA. This allows designers to set precise guardband margins above the 27.9 V VRWM, minimizing false triggering while guaranteeing activation before downstream components exceed their absolute maximum ratings. The VTVS28ASMF-M3-08 thus enables repeatable, production-ready protection architecture in safety-critical systems.
