Product details
Overview
VTVS43ASMF-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 43.2 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 48.5–53.6 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and clamps to ≤73 V at 5.23 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), with ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge rating.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, this device serves as a halogen-free, AEC-Q101-qualified TVS for automotive infotainment power rails, industrial sensor interfaces, and USB-C port protection where low clamping voltage and fast response (<1 ns) are critical.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates by avalanche breakdown above its VRWM of 43.2 V, delivering precise clamping at VC ≤73 V under 5.23 A (10/1000 μs). Its low 292 pF capacitance at 0 V enables use on high-speed data lines without signal integrity degradation.
The device uses "Low-Noise" technology for sub-nanosecond response time and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. Its SMF (DO-219AB) package supports wave and reflow soldering, with MSL level 1 handling and 175 °C max junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ43A | Same VRWM (43 V) and PPPM (400 W), but SMA package (DO-214AC); 1.5× larger footprint; 100 pF higher capacitance (392 pF) | Less suitable for space-constrained USB-C or automotive camera modules due to larger size and higher CD | Select when legacy SMA layout exists and capacitance sensitivity is low |
| VTVS43GSMF-HM3-08 | Identical package and VRWM, but ±2 % VBR tolerance (vs. ±5 %); tighter breakdown spec increases cost and reduces availability | Better for precision clamping in safety-critical ADAS power domains where VBR consistency is mandated | Choose only if design requires guaranteed VBR ≤52.08 V at 1 mA; otherwise VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 offers optimal cost/performance balance |
Compared with SMAJ43A and VTVS43GSMF-HM3-08, the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 delivers the best trade-off of compact DO-219AB footprint, 292 pF low capacitance, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it preferred for next-gen automotive and high-density industrial PCBs where layout area and signal integrity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 under standard test conditions?
The VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 73 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs peak pulse current of 5.23 A. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during surge events. The VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low leakage and fast response.
Is the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests-including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness-required for automotive electronic components. Its −55 °C to +175 °C operating range and halogen-free construction align with Tier 1 supplier requirements for body control, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems using the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08.
What does the "HM3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08?
The "HM3-08" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free terminations (H), halogen-free molding compound (M), 3 k per 7″ reel packaging (3), and tape-and-reel format optimized for automated SMT placement (08). This matches Vishay's standardized ordering code structure for the eSMP® Series, confirming the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 is supplied in 8 mm carrier tape with 3,000 units per reel and meets JEDEC MSL level 1 handling requirements.
Can the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 be used for bidirectional protection?
No, the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC line protection with defined polarity (cathode toward the protected supply rail). For bidirectional AC or symmetrical transient protection, a dedicated bidirectional variant such as VTVS43BSMF-HM3-08 would be required. Using the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 in reverse-biased configurations outside its specified unidirectional operation risks premature failure or inadequate clamping.
How does the 292 pF capacitance of VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 affect high-speed signal lines?
The VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08's typical 292 pF capacitance at 0 V is low enough to avoid significant attenuation or timing skew on moderate-speed digital lines such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), CAN FD (5 Mbps), and RS-485. When placed on VBUS or auxiliary power rails-not data pairs-it introduces negligible impedance impact. For differential data lines, the VTVS43ASMF-HM3-08 should be applied only to power/supply pins, preserving signal integrity while providing robust surge immunity.
