Product details
Overview
VTVS36GSMF-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 36.0 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), ±2 % breakdown voltage tolerance (VBR = 42.19–43.92 V at IT = 1 mA), 61 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and clamps to ≤61 V at rated IPPM - used in automotive infotainment power rails and USB-C port protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS36GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS36GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS36GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS36GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36 V working voltage compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V/12 V interfaces, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, low 342 pF capacitance at 0 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its precisely specified breakdown range (42.19–43.92 V). Its low thermal resistance (RthJL = 20 K/W) enables rapid heat dissipation during 10/1000 μs transients, supporting repeated surge events without degradation.
The SMF package delivers mechanical robustness and solderability per J-STD-020 MSL level 1, with halogen-free molding compound and tin-plated terminations. Its 342 pF junction capacitance at 0 V ensures minimal signal distortion on high-speed lines like USB 2.0 or CAN FD, while maintaining clamping performance under ±30 kV contact discharge stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 36.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction begins; matches 33–39 V system rail tolerances. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 42.19–43.92 V at IT = 1 mA, ±2 % tolerance - tight regulation enables precise overvoltage threshold setting. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 400 W at 10/1000 μs waveform - sustains high-energy surges common in automotive load-dump or ISO 7637-2 tests. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤61 V at IPPM = 6.43 A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during full-rated transient events. |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 342 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - low enough for USB 2.0 data lines without signal integrity compromise. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for industrial and automotive ports. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive placement and extended industrial temperature operation. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge clamp on signal pair or power input, mounted close to connector per IEC 61000-4-5 guidelines. Use Value: 175 °C max junction temperature allows operation near motors or power converters; 400 W PPP handles 10/1000 μs surges up to 6.43 A. |
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN FD physical layer transceivers from battery disconnect transients and electrostatic discharge in vehicle networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on CAN_H line referenced to ground, suppressing negative-going spikes while preserving differential signaling integrity. Use Value: Low 342 pF capacitance prevents CAN FD bit-rate degradation at 5 Mbps; AEC-Q101 qualification confirms reliability in harsh automotive environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/57T | ±5 % VBR tolerance (vs. ±2 %), higher 64.5 V clamping voltage at same IPPM, SMC package (larger footprint). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable for industrial but not automotive-critical nodes. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision clamping and automotive qualification needs. |
| TPSMD36CA | Bidirectional configuration, 64.5 V clamping, 36 V standoff, DO-214AB package; no ±30 kV ESD rating documented. | Used where bidirectional surges occur (e.g., AC-coupled lines); unsuitable for unidirectional DC rails requiring ESD immunity. | Choose only if bidirectional protection is required and IEC 61000-4-2 compliance is not mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/57T and TPSMD36CA, VTVS36GSMF-M3-08 offers tighter voltage tolerance, lower clamping, smaller SMF footprint, and verified AEC-Q101 + IEC 61000-4-2 compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive and high-reliability industrial designs.
