Product details
Overview
VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 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), 32.39–33.72 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 47 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 47 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity - used in automotive infotainment power rails and USB-C port protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 datasheet, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 pinout, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 application, or VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VBR tolerance, halogen-free SMF package with MSL level 1 rating, 1.08 mm height constraint, and compatibility with wave/reflow soldering for high-reliability automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its precisely specified 32.39–33.72 V breakdown range (±2 % tolerance). Its low 47 V clamping voltage at 47 A (10/1000 μs) ensures robust protection of downstream 24 V logic and interface ICs without overvoltage stress.
The SMF (DO-219AB) package delivers 20 K/W thermal resistance to leads and supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its 1.9 mm width and 3.9 mm length enable compact placement near connectors or IC inputs while maintaining 400 W peak pulse power capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform - sustains industrial surge events without failure) |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 27.9 V (maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction - matches 24 V system nominal rails) |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 32.39–33.72 V at 1 mA (±2 % tolerance - enables precise overvoltage threshold setting) |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 47 V at 47 A IPPM (limits transient voltage seen by protected IC - critical for 3.3/5 V logic survival) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact & air discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 - meets automotive and industrial ESD immunity requirements) |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55 °C to +175 °C (supports under-hood and engine-control module deployment) |
| Package | SMF (DO-219AB) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm, halogen-free, MSL level 1, reflow/wave solderable |

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-HM3-18 | ±5 % VBR tolerance (31.4–34.7 V) vs. ±2 % (32.39–33.72 V); same VRWM, VC, and IPPM | Less precise threshold - suitable where 24 V rail variation permits wider clamping window | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ±5 % tolerance meets system margin requirements |
| SMAJ28A-Q | Same VRWM (28 V) but higher VC (49.1 V at 43.5 A); SMA package (DO-214AC), larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm) | Lower power density - requires more PCB area; not AEC-Q101 qualified by default | Choose when legacy SMA layout exists or when higher thermal mass is needed for repetitive surge duty cycles |
Compared with VTVS28ASMF-HM3-18 and SMAJ28A-Q, the VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 delivers tighter voltage tolerance and smaller SMF footprint - optimizing space-constrained automotive PCBs while ensuring consistent clamping behavior across temperature and production lot.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage range for VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18?
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 has a reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 32.39 V to 33.72 V at 1 mA test current and 25 °C, with ±2 % tolerance confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 2.2. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset in 24 V systems and is a key differentiator from the ±5 % A-series variants. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified - explicitly stated in Vishay's ordering information table and environmental code "H" designation. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, AC/DC life test, and temperature cycling, validating its suitability for automotive powertrain and chassis applications. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 meets all requirements for Grade 0 (–40 °C to +150 °C ambient) and Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C ambient) use cases.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 under surge conditions?
The maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 is 47 V at 47 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value represents the worst-case voltage seen by protected circuitry during a full-power surge event. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 achieves this performance while maintaining low leakage (<0.05 μA at VRWM) and fast response time inherent to TransZorb® technology.
Does VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 support automated assembly processes?
Yes, VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 is fully compatible with both wave and reflow soldering, per Vishay's package data. Its SMF (DO-219AB) package has MSL level 1 rating (unlimited floor life), peak reflow temperature up to 260 °C, and halogen-free molding compound compliant with J-STD-020. The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 is supplied on 8 mm tape (3K per 7″ reel or 10K per 13″ reel), optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment.
How does the capacitance of VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 affect high-speed signal lines?
The VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18 has a typical junction capacitance (CD) of 412 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz - measured and published in Vishay's datasheet. This value is appropriate for DC power rails and low-to-medium speed signals (e.g., CAN, LIN, UART), but not recommended for >100 MHz data lines like USB 3.x or PCIe. For VTVS28GSMF-HM3-18, the 412 pF capacitance introduces negligible impedance above 400 kHz, making it ideal for protecting 24 V power inputs without distorting control signals.
