Product details
Overview
VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 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 46.8 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 53.2–58.8 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR at IT = 1 mA), 80 A peak pulse current (IPPM, 10/1000 μs), 80 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 293 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V - ideal for protecting USB 2.0, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 datasheet, VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 pinout, VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 application, or VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world clamping performance data - all critical for robust interface protection design in automotive and industrial electronics.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 53.2–58.8 V breakdown range. Its low 20 K/W thermal resistance (RthJL) enables effective heat dissipation during 400 W transient events with 10/1000 μs waveform.
The device achieves ±30 kV contact/air discharge ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 and maintains stable clamping at 80 V up to 80 A, with only 293 pF capacitance - minimizing signal distortion on high-speed lines such as CAN FD and LIN bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform) - sustains automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 transient surges without failure |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 46.8 V - blocks normal operation voltage while remaining inactive below clamping threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 53.2–58.8 V at IT = 1 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation point for repeatable protection behavior |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 80 V at IPPM = 80 A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during worst-case transients |
| Junction Capacitance | 293 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - compatible with ≤10 Mbps digital interfaces without signal integrity degradation |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for exposed connectors |
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/57T | Same VRWM (47 V), but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating; 80 V VC; 300 pF capacitance | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm vs. 3.9 × 1.9 mm); higher thermal resistance (35 K/W) | Select when board space allows larger package and legacy SMA layout exists |
| 1.5SMC47A | Same VRWM (47 V), but SMC package (DO-214AB); 1500 W rating; 77 V VC; 350 pF capacitance | Higher power handling but 2× capacitance - unsuitable for >10 Mbps interfaces | Prefer for high-energy surges where speed and capacitance are secondary to energy absorption |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/57T and 1.5SMC47A, VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 offers superior space efficiency, lower thermal resistance, and tighter capacitance control - making it optimal for modern compact automotive ECUs and high-speed digital interfaces where layout density and signal integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 exhibits a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 80 V when subjected to its rated 80 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events. The clamping performance is validated per Vishay's test conditions in Document 85891 Rev. 2.2.
Is VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including powertrain, chassis, and body electronics. The qualification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - aligning with requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted ECUs. Full test reports are available through Vishay's automotive quality portal.
What is the junction capacitance of VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 and how does it affect high-speed signals?
VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 has a typical junction capacitance of 293 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes signal attenuation and timing skew on interfaces up to 10 Mbps, such as LIN and legacy CAN. For USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), layout best practices - including short traces and ground shielding - are recommended to maintain signal integrity while retaining robust ESD protection.
Can VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 replace older SOD-123W TVS diodes in existing designs?
VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 is mechanically and electrically compatible with SOD-123W footprints, as confirmed in Vishay's package documentation (DO-219AB outline). Its 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm dimensions match SOD-123W land patterns, enabling direct placement without PCB revision. Electrical parameters - including VRWM, VBR, and VC - also align closely with common 47 V SOD-123W TVS devices.
Does VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity requirements?
Yes, VTVS47ASMF-M3-18 meets IEC 61000-4-2 with ±30 kV contact discharge and ±30 kV air discharge ratings - exceeding Level 4 (the highest severity class). This performance is achieved via optimized silicon structure and "Low-Noise" fast-response technology, enabling reliable protection for exposed ports like USB, HDMI, and sensor connectors in harsh electromagnetic environments.
