Product details
Overview
VTVS31ASMF-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 30.6 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 34.2–37.8 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 51 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform, and clamps to ≤51 V at rated current-ideal for protecting USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5 % VBR tolerance, 380 pF capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101 qualification option, halogen-free construction, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 34.2–37.8 V avalanche breakdown range. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid response (<1 ns) to ESD transients per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air discharge), while maintaining stable clamping up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The SMF package enables high-power density (400 W peak) in a low-profile (1.08 mm height), wave- and reflow-solderable form factor. Its 380 pF junction capacitance supports signal integrity in <100 MHz data lines without excessive loading, and its halogen-free molding compound complies with Vishay's material categorization standard.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform): sustains high-energy surges without failure in automotive and industrial power rail protection |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 30.6 V max: blocks normal operating voltage while remaining inactive below system overvoltage threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 34.2–37.8 V at IT = 1 mA: precise ±5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and production lots |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤51 V at IPPM = 7.51 A: limits downstream voltage stress during surge events to safe levels for 3.3 V/5 V logic |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 380 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz: low enough for USB 2.0 and CAN FD signal lines without signal degradation |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2): meets highest-level board-level ESD immunity requirements |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C: supports under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor IoT deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/57T | Higher VRWM (33 V), lower PPPM (400 W same), SMA package (DO-214AC), 550 pF capacitance | Less suitable for 30.6 V systems due to tighter margin; larger footprint increases layout area | Select when legacy SMA footprint is fixed and higher capacitance is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC33A | Same VRWM (33 V), higher VC (60.5 V), SMC package (DO-214AB), 520 pF, 1500 W rating | Over-specified power rating wastes board space; higher clamping risks downstream IC stress | Choose only if 1500 W surge immunity is explicitly required and layout allows larger SMC outline |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/57T and 1.5SMC33A, VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 delivers optimal balance of precision 30.6 V stand-off, low 380 pF capacitance, and compact SMF footprint-enabling robust protection in space-constrained, high-speed, and automotive-grade designs without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 51 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.51 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and production lots per Vishay's Rev. 2.2 datasheet (Document #85891), ensuring consistent overvoltage protection for downstream 3.3 V or 5 V circuitry.
Is the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 is RoHS-compliant and constructed with halogen-free molding compound, meeting Vishay's material categorization standard (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The "H" in the part number explicitly denotes halogen-free status, and the "M3" suffix confirms lead (Pb)-free terminations with tin plating.
Does the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 is not automatically AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Vishay offers an AEC-Q101-qualified version under a distinct ordering code (e.g., VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 with AEC suffix). Confirmation requires checking the specific reel label or ordering documentation-AEC-Q101 validation covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and ESD robustness per automotive reliability standards.
What is the thermal resistance (RthJL) of the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08?
The VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 has a thermal resistance from junction to lead (RthJL) of 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value enables accurate thermal modeling for power dissipation during repetitive surge events and supports derating calculations up to its 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
How does the 380 pF capacitance of the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 affect high-speed signal lines?
The 380 pF junction capacitance of the VTVS31ASMF-HM3-08 is measured at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, making it suitable for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and CAN FD (up to 5 Mbps) interfaces when placed with minimal trace length. At typical DC bias voltages near VRWM (30.6 V), capacitance drops significantly-preserving signal edge rates and minimizing jitter in protected data paths.
