Product details
Overview
VTVS3V3ASMF-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 such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features 3.3 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 6.4–7.0 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, ±5 % VBR tolerance, 42.95 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform, and clamps to 8.9 V maximum at IPPM.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V working voltage compatibility with 3.3 V logic rails, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, halogen-free SOD-123W-compatible SMF package, and AEC-Q101 qualification option - critical for automotive infotainment and ADAS interface protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 6.4–7.0 V breakdown range and clamping transients to ≤8.9 V at 42.95 A. Its low 2095 pF junction capacitance enables use on high-speed data lines without signal integrity degradation.
Thermal resistance is 20 K/W (junction-to-lead, infinite heat sink), supporting reliable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature. The SMF package meets J-STD-020 MSL level 1 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 3.3 V - blocks normal 3.3 V rail operation while remaining non-conductive |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.4–7.0 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche threshold with ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent trigger point |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 400 W (10/1000 μs) - handles common surge events per ISO 16750-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤8.9 V at 42.95 A - limits downstream IC stress below typical 12 V absolute max ratings |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 2095 pF at 0 V - compatible with low-speed interfaces (e.g., CAN, LIN, sensor buses); not suitable for >10 MHz data lines |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for industrial and automotive end equipment |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ3.3A | Same VRWM (3.3 V), but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating, 9.1 V VC at 38.9 A | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm vs. 3.9 × 1.9 mm); lower thermal resistance (15 K/W) | Preferred where board space allows and higher thermal margin is needed |
| TPSMD3.3 | Same SMF package, but 3.3 V VRWM, 6.5–7.2 V VBR, 8.9 V VC, 400 W - identical clamping and form factor | Texas Instruments part; RoHS-compliant, not AEC-Q101 qualified by default | Drop-in alternative if AEC-Q101 is not required and TI supply chain preference applies |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 under surge conditions?
The VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 clamps to a maximum of 8.9 V at its rated peak pulse current of 42.95 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream 3.3 V ICs remain within safe operating limits during transient events.
Is the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 AEC-Q101 qualified?
The VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 is offered in an AEC-Q101 qualified version (denoted by "H" in the ordering code). While the base part number does not imply qualification, the "HM3-08" suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 tested construction per Vishay's documentation.
Can the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 be used on high-speed data lines like USB 3.0 or HDMI?
No - the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 has a typical junction capacitance of 2095 pF, which introduces excessive signal loading and insertion loss on high-speed differential interfaces. It is suitable only for low-speed lines such as LIN, RS-485 (≤500 kbps), or USB 2.0 (with careful layout and bandwidth verification).
What is the thermal resistance (RthJL) of the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08?
The VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 has a thermal resistance of 20 K/W from junction to lead when mounted on an infinite heat sink. This value supports continuous power dissipation up to ~2 W at 175 °C junction temperature, assuming adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias.
Does the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD requirements?
Yes - the VTVS3V3ASMF-HM3-08 is rated for ±30 kV contact discharge and ±30 kV air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2, exceeding Level 4 (the highest severity class). This makes it suitable for front-panel buttons, connectors, and other user-accessible points in industrial and automotive applications.
