Product details
Overview
VTVS40ASMF-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 39.6 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 44.7–49.4 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 67 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform, and clamps to ≤67 V at rated current-used in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5 % VBR tolerance, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 309 pF capacitance at 0 V, 175 °C max junction temperature, and halogen-free, AEC-Q101-qualified construction.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with fast response time enabled by "Low-Noise" technology, delivering precise clamping during ESD transients and lightning-induced surges. Its SMF package supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1, with thermal resistance RthJL = 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink.
The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 is specified for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, with <0.05 μA reverse leakage at VRWM and forward clamping voltage VF = 1.8 V at 50 A (1 ms). Its 309 pF junction capacitance enables use in moderate-speed signal lines where capacitive loading must remain below ~350 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform; defines maximum transient energy absorption capability) |
| Stand-Off Voltage (VRWM) | 39.6 V (maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage) |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 44.7–49.4 V at IT = 1 mA (±5 % tolerance; sets precise turn-on threshold for clamping) |

| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 309 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz (capacitive loading impact on signal integrity up to ~100 MHz) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4; full system-level ESD robustness) |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +175 °C (supports under-hood automotive and high-temp industrial environments) |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ40A-E3/57T | Same VRWM (40 V), but 400 W rating uses 8/20 μs waveform; VBR tolerance ±5 %; SMA package (larger than SMF) | Higher clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.7 vs. 1.5); less suitable for space-constrained PCBs | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board area permits larger package |
| TPSMD40CA | Bidirectional configuration; same VRWM and PPPM; DO-214AB package; higher capacitance (500 pF) | Supports AC-coupled lines (e.g., Ethernet PHY) but adds unnecessary capacitance on DC rails | Choose only for bidirectional surge paths; avoid for unidirectional DC power/signal lines due to excess capacitance |
Compared with SMAJ40A-E3/57T and TPSMD40CA, the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 offers superior board-space efficiency (SMF vs. SMA/DO-214AB), lower capacitance for DC rail protection, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for next-gen automotive and compact industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 clamps to a maximum of 67 V at its rated peak pulse current of 67 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions and ensures protected circuits experience no more than 67 V during worst-case surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C, and the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 maintains this specification without derating in typical automotive and industrial mounting configurations.
Is the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets stringent requirements for under-hood and cabin environments-including operation up to +175 °C junction temperature, resistance to mechanical shock and vibration, and validation across temperature cycling, humidity bias, and accelerated life testing. The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 is deployed in production automotive body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.
What does the "HM3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08?
The "HM3-08" suffix in VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 denotes halogen-free (H), lead (Pb)-free terminations with tin plating (M), tape-and-reel packaging (3), and 3,000 units per 7-inch reel (08). This packaging format complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and automotive material standards such as GMW3172. The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 is supplied in 8 mm carrier tape with component orientation aligned to industry-standard pick-and-place equipment, enabling high-yield automated assembly.
How does the capacitance of VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 affect high-speed signal lines?
The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 exhibits 309 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, making it suitable for DC power rails and low-to-moderate speed signals (e.g., CAN FD up to 5 Mbps, RS-485 up to 20 Mbps), but not recommended for >100 MHz differential pairs like USB 3.2 or PCIe. Its capacitance remains stable across reverse bias voltages up to VRWM, minimizing signal distortion. For the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08, this value was verified per the manufacturer's Typical Characteristics curves (Fig. 3–4) and supports clean clamping without excessive high-frequency attenuation.
Can VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 replace older SMAJ40A parts in existing designs?
The VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 is not a direct drop-in replacement for SMAJ40A due to different package outlines (SMF/DO-219AB vs. SMA/DO-214AC) and thermal characteristics-though both share 40 V VRWM and 400 W rating. Layout redesign is required to accommodate the smaller 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm SMF footprint and revised pad geometry. However, the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 offers advantages including AEC-Q101 qualification, lower profile, and tighter VBR tolerance, making it ideal for new designs targeting space, reliability, and automotive compliance-while the VTVS40ASMF-HM3-08 requires PCB revision if migrating from SMAJ40A.
