Product details
Overview
VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 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), ±2 % tolerance on avalanche breakdown voltage (54.88–57.12 V at IT = 1 mA), and clamps to ≤80 V at 4.9 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), with 293 pF capacitance at 0 V - suitable for USB 2.0, automotive sensor interfaces, and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 datasheet, VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 pinout, VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 application, or VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 46.8 V working voltage, ±2 % VBR tolerance, 80 V clamping at 4.9 A, 175 °C max junction temperature, and halogen-free, AEC-Q101-qualified construction in SOD-123W-compatible SMF package.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its precisely specified breakdown range (54.88–57.12 V). Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.44) and fast response time enable effective suppression of ESD transients per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air discharge) and lightning-induced surges per 10/1000 μs waveform.
The SMF package provides thermal resistance of 20 K/W (junction-to-lead, mounted on infinite heat sink), supports wave and reflow soldering (peak 260 °C), and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020. Its 293 pF capacitance at 0 V and low leakage (<0.05 μA at VRWM) minimize signal distortion in high-speed data lines.
Key Specifications

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 ±5 % VBR tolerance (50.4–54.6 V); 400 W PPP; SMA package (larger, higher Rth) | Higher thermal resistance (40 K/W vs. 20 K/W) limits power handling in compact layouts | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision clamping and thermal performance |
| TPSMD47CA | Bi-directional configuration; same VRWM (47 V), ±5 % VBR; 400 W PPP; DO-214AB package | Supports AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines (e.g., RS-485), unlike unidirectional VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 | Choose only if bidirectional protection is required; not a drop-in replacement due to polarity and footprint mismatch |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/57T and TPSMD47CA, VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 offers tighter ±2 % breakdown tolerance, lower thermal resistance, and smaller SMF footprint - delivering superior precision and thermal performance in space-constrained automotive and industrial designs where unidirectional protection suffices.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18?
The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 has a reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 54.88 V to 57.12 V at IT = 1 mA, with ±2 % tolerance as specified in Vishay's Rev. 2.2 datasheet (Document Number: 85891). This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature ranges, critical for systems with narrow voltage margins. The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 achieves this via precision process control during wafer fabrication and final test screening.
Is VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures from −55 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control unit sensor protection and LIN bus interfaces. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 rating further support high-reliability automotive manufacturing. The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 also passes rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling and HTRB per AEC-Q101 requirements.
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 clamps to a maximum of 80 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 4.9 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform condition. This clamping voltage is measured at the device terminals and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range, ensuring predictable protection in real-world conditions.
Does VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity standards?
Yes, VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 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 rating is verified through standardized testing on production lots and applies across its full temperature range. The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 achieves this performance using Vishay's "Low-Noise" avalanche technology, enabling sub-nanosecond response to fast-rising ESD transients.
What is the package type and footprint compatibility of VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18?
VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18 uses the SMF (DO-219AB) package - a low-profile surface-mount case measuring 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm - and is compatible with SOD-123W, SOD-123F, and SOD-123FL footprints. Its cathode is marked by a bar on the top surface, and it supports both wave and reflow soldering (peak 260 °C). The VTVS47GSMF-HM3-18's footprint alignment and thermal pad design allow direct substitution into existing SOD-123W layouts without PCB redesign.
