Product details
Overview
VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for primary ESD and surge protection on 5.0 V DC power rails and I/O lines. It features 6.57 V minimum and 6.84 V maximum reverse breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 5 μA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0 V stand-off, 43.99 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and clamps to ≤8.9 V under full surge stress.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include ±2 % VBR tolerance, 2095 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, -55 °C to +175 °C operating range, IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge compliance, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, triggering into avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 6.57–6.84 V breakdown threshold. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid energy diversion during ESD events, while the 8.9 V maximum clamping voltage at 43.99 A limits downstream IC stress.
Constructed in halogen-free molding compound with MSL level 1 rating, the VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 supports both wave and reflow soldering (peak 260 °C). Its 1.08 mm height and 3.9 × 1.9 mm outline meet space-constrained board layouts, and thermal resistance of 20 K/W (junction-to-lead) enables reliable power dissipation without external heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 6.57 V / 6.84 V at IT = 1 mA - defines precise turn-on threshold for 5.0 V rail protection |
| VRWM | 5.00 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; matches standard 5 V logic/power domains |
| IR @ VRWM | 5 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and signal integrity in always-on circuits |
| IPPM | 43.99 A (10/1000 μs) - quantifies surge-handling capacity for automotive load-dump or industrial transients |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤8.9 V - clamping voltage ensures protected ICs see <3.9 V overstress above nominal rail |
| CD @ 0 V | 2095 pF - high capacitance restricts use to low-speed lines (e.g., USB 2.0 not recommended) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - meets highest-level system-level ESD immunity requirements |
| TJ Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | ±5 % VBR (6.4–7.0 V), 400 W, SMA package (DO-214AC), 1.5 mm height | Larger footprint; higher thermal resistance (35 K/W); lower ESD rating (±15 kV) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision clamping and compactness needs |
| 1.5SMC5.0A | ±5 % VBR, 1500 W rating, SMC package (DO-214AB), 2.6 mm height | Higher power but 3× larger area; unsuitable for space-constrained designs | Choose only where >400 W surge margin is mandatory and board space permits |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and 1.5SMC5.0A, the VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 delivers tighter voltage tolerance, smaller footprint, superior ESD immunity, and lower profile-making it optimal for modern compact, high-reliability 5 V protection where precision and space efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage range for VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08?
The VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 has a guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage range of 6.57 V to 6.84 V at IT = 1 mA and TJ = 25 °C. This ±2 % tolerance is tighter than the ±5 % offered by the 'A' suffix variants (e.g., VTVS5V0ASMF-M3-08), enabling more precise overvoltage protection design margins for 5 V systems.
Is VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 suitable for protecting high-speed data lines like USB 2.0 or HDMI?
No, the VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 is not recommended for high-speed data lines due to its 2095 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V. This capacitance would severely degrade signal integrity on interfaces requiring bandwidth >10 MHz. It is best suited for DC power rails and low-speed digital signals such as GPIO, reset lines, or RS-485 control pins.
Does VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 meet automotive qualification standards?
The base VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Vishay offers the AEC-Q101 qualified variant VTVS5V0GSMF-HM3-08. That part shares identical electrical specs but undergoes additional stress testing per AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive under-hood and cabin applications where qualification is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 under surge conditions?
The VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 clamps to a maximum of 8.9 V at its rated peak pulse current of 43.99 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value ensures that downstream 5 V ICs experience less than 3.9 V of overvoltage stress during worst-case transients, providing robust protection without exceeding absolute maximum ratings of common logic devices.
Can VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VTVS5V0GSMF-M3-08 is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its SMF (DO-219AB) package is rated for MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly.
