Product details
Overview
VTVS28GSMF-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. It features a 27.9 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 32.39–33.72 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 VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include ±2 % VBR tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free SOD-123W-compatible packaging, IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity, and thermal resistance of 20 K/W to infinite heat sink.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with precise ±2 % breakdown voltage tolerance, enabling tight clamping margin control in 24 V nominal systems. Its low-profile SMF (DO-219AB) package supports high-density PCB layouts and meets reflow soldering standards up to 260 °C peak temperature.
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 delivers 400 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform, clamps transients to ≤47 V at 47 A, and maintains <0.05 μA leakage at VRWM - critical for preserving signal integrity and minimizing standby power loss in always-on automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 27.9 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin above 24 V system rail. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 32.39–33.72 V at IT = 1 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and production lots. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 47 V at IPPM = 47 A (10/1000 μs) - defines worst-case voltage seen by protected IC during surge event. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients without degradation, validated per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV line-to-line). |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 412 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-speed data line insertion loss; suitable for USB 2.0 but not USB 3.0+. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds automotive OEM requirements for human-body-model robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain environments per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMF (DO-219AB), halogen-free molding compound, 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm body, cathode marked by bar on top surface. Compatible with SOD-123W footprint and reflow profiles per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; enables unidirectional clamping from protected line to GND. |
| Cathode | Protected line interface | Connected to input/power/data line; avalanche conduction occurs when line voltage exceeds VBR relative to Anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % VBR tolerance | Enables tighter clamping window vs. ±5 % variants, reducing overvoltage risk to downstream 30 V-rated ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 | ±5 % VBR tolerance (31.4–34.7 V), same VRWM and VC ratings | Lower cost; acceptable where tighter clamping margin is not required | Select for non-safety-critical 24 V industrial controls with relaxed voltage margin budgets. |
| SMAJ28A-Q | Same VRWM (28 V), but 400 W PPP, ±5 % VBR, SMA package (DO-214AC), higher RthJA | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Use only in non-automotive applications where board space permits and qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08 and SMAJ28A-Q, the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 provides superior voltage precision and automotive qualification in a smaller, thermally optimized package - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, safety-relevant 24 V systems requiring guaranteed clamping behavior across temperature and lifetime.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 47 V at 47 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the absolute maximum ratings table and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +175 °C.
Is the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS, and infotainment systems. This qualification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and ESD - all performed on the final packaged device. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 also meets IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity and operates reliably from −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
How does the ±2 % VBR tolerance of the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 improve system protection?
The ±2 % VBR tolerance (32.39–33.72 V) of the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 reduces variation in turn-on voltage across production lots and temperature, ensuring consistent clamping behavior in 24 V systems. This tighter specification minimizes the risk of premature conduction or delayed clamping versus ±5 % variants like VTVS28ASMF-HM3-08, directly improving protection margin for 30 V-rated downstream ICs. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 achieves this without sacrificing power rating or package size.
What is the thermal resistance of the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 has a thermal resistance of 20 K/W from junction to lead (RthJL) when mounted on an infinite heat sink. In practice, this means effective thermal management requires generous copper pours connected to both anode and cathode pads - especially important during repetitive surge events. The SMF (DO-219AB) package's low 1.08 mm profile allows direct thermal coupling to inner-layer planes, and the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08's 175 °C max junction temperature supports operation in high-ambient environments when layout follows Vishay's recommended footprint.
Can the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 be used on high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0?
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 has a typical junction capacitance of 412 pF at 0 V, which is acceptable for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) signal integrity when placed on VBUS or shield lines, but not recommended for D+/D− differential pairs due to signal distortion. Its unidirectional configuration and 27.9 V VRWM make it ideal for power-rail protection in USB-C PD implementations. For data-line protection, lower-capacitance TVS devices are advised - the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-08 serves best where robust power-rail clamping is the primary requirement.
