Product details
Overview
VTVS40ASMF-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 such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. 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), and clamps to ≤67 V at rated pulse, with ±5 % VBR tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 equivalent, this device is selected for robust IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge compliance, low-profile SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and high-temperature operation up to +175 °C junction temperature in space-constrained industrial and automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates in avalanche mode to clamp transient overvoltages above its VRWM while maintaining low leakage (<0.05 μA) under normal bias. Its 1.08 mm height and DO-219AB outline enable placement on dense layouts without compromising thermal performance-RthJL is 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink.
The device delivers fast response time via "Low-Noise" technology and achieves stable clamping across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range. Its halogen-free molding compound and MSL level 1 rating support lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
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 reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin for 36 V nominal systems) |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 44.7–49.4 V at IT = 1 mA (±5 % tolerance; ensures predictable turn-on threshold for overvoltage events) |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤67 V at IPPM = 5.7 A (measured clamping level during full-rated surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case stress) |
| Capacitance (CD) | 309 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz (low enough for USB 2.0 signal integrity; impacts high-speed data line insertion loss) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 (enables single-device protection against human-body-model surges without external filtering) |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +175 °C (supports under-hood automotive, industrial control, and power supply applications without derating) |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus or analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules exposed to load dump and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to shunt transients before reaching MCU ADC input or op-amp buffer. Use Value: Clamps 39.6 V stand-off line to ≤67 V during 5.7 A surge, preserving signal integrity and preventing latch-up in 5 V tolerant analog front-ends. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB 2.0 D+ and D- lines in portable medical devices against ESD events during cable insertion and handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required-unidirectional configuration minimizes capacitance impact on 480 Mbps eye diagram. Use Value: 309 pF capacitance at 0 V bias maintains <1 dB insertion loss at 240 MHz, meeting USB-IF signal integrity thresholds without series resistors. |
| Industrial PLC Digital Input | DC Power Rail Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Shielding 24 V digital input channels in programmable logic controllers from field-wiring induced surges and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stand-off voltage matched to 24 V nominal rail; placed upstream of optocoupler input to prevent false triggering. Use Value: Withstands repeated 400 W pulses without degradation-validated for >1000 surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) |
Use Scenario: Secondary-level clamping on 36 V auxiliary power rails in telecom base stations after primary MOV-based protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS absorbing residual fast-rising edges that bypass slower primary protectors. Use Value: 67 V clamping voltage ensures downstream DC-DC converters (e.g., 3.3 V LDOs) remain within absolute maximum ratings during combined lightning-induced surges. |
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 higher VC (64.5 V @ 6.2 A) and larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm) | Less suitable for ultra-thin designs; higher thermal resistance (RthJA ≈ 50 K/W vs. 20 K/W junction-to-lead) | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board height >2.2 mm is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC40A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), but larger SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 × 2.6 mm) and 3× board area | Over-specified for low-energy ESD; better suited for AC mains or high-energy automotive load dump | Choose only if system-level testing requires >1000 W surge handling and space permits large footprint |
Compared with SMAJ40A-E3/57T and 1.5SMC40A, VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 offers optimal balance of compact size, precise 39.6 V stand-off matching 36 V systems, and verified 400 W capability-making it preferred for modern space- and thermal-constrained DC interface protection where exact VRWM alignment and low capacitance matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 during a 10/1000 μs surge?
The VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 clamps to a maximum of 67 V when subjected to its rated 5.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during full-rated transient events. The clamping behavior is consistent across its -55 °C to +175 °C operating range, making VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 suitable for under-hood automotive use.
Is the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 uses a halogen-free molding compound and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Its material categorization complies with Vishay's standard for environmentally conscious manufacturing, and it supports lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020. Full compliance documentation, including test reports, is available upon request for VTVS40ASMF-M3-08.
Does the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 is offered in both standard industrial and AEC-Q101 qualified versions. While the -M3-08 suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3K per 7″ reel), AEC-Q101 qualification is indicated by an additional "-HM3-08" or "-HM3-18" ordering code. Engineers specifying VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 for automotive applications should verify the full part number includes the "H" prefix to ensure qualification for automotive-grade reliability testing.
What is the typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RthJL) of the VTVS40ASMF-M3-08?
The VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 has a thermal resistance of 20 K/W from junction to lead (RthJL) when mounted on an infinite heat sink. This low value enables efficient heat dissipation during repetitive surge events and supports reliable operation at +175 °C junction temperature. For PCB-level thermal design, RthJA is application-dependent but typically exceeds 100 K/W-hence proper copper pour and thermal vias are recommended for high-duty-cycle use of VTVS40ASMF-M3-08.
How does the capacitance of VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 affect high-speed signal lines?
VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 exhibits 309 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, which is optimized for DC and low-frequency signal protection. When applied to USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), this capacitance introduces minimal insertion loss (<1 dB at 240 MHz) and preserves signal integrity without requiring series impedance tuning. However, it is not recommended for USB 3.0 or HDMI 2.0 differential pairs where sub-1 pF capacitance is required-VTVS40ASMF-M3-08 is best deployed on single-ended control or power lines.
