Product details
Overview
VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of 63 V DC power rails and I/O lines. It features 70.8 V minimum and 78.2 V maximum avalanche breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 108 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), 108 V maximum clamping voltage, and ±30 kV ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 63 V stand-off voltage, low 227 pF capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101 qualification option, halogen-free construction, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint for automotive and industrial power rail protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 70.8–78.2 V breakdown range to divert surge energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its 108 V clamping voltage at 108 A ensures robust protection for 63 V systems under standardized 10/1000 μs transients.
Designed for surface-mount reflow and wave soldering, it delivers ±30 kV contact/air discharge ESD protection and maintains stable performance across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. The SMF (DO-219AB) package supports high thermal dissipation with 20 K/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ64A-E3/57T | 64 V VRWM, 100 A IPPM, 104 V VC, DO-214AC (SMA) package, 5.3 mm × 4.6 mm footprint | Larger package increases board area; lower clamping voltage but higher capacitance (350 pF) | Select when legacy SMA layout exists and tighter clamping is prioritized over space or EMI sensitivity |
| 1.5SMC68A | 68 V VRWM, 112 A IPPM, 110 V VC, DO-214AB (SMC) package, 7.1 mm × 6.2 mm footprint | Higher VRWM risks premature conduction on 63 V rails; larger size incompatible with compact SMF layouts | Consider only if higher surge margin is required and board space allows SMC footprint |
Compared with VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08, SMAJ64A-E3/57T offers lower clamping but requires more PCB area and introduces higher signal-line capacitance, while 1.5SMC68A's elevated VRWM reduces design margin for 63 V systems and demands significant layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 108 V at 108 A peak pulse current under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the absolute maximum ratings table and ensures predictable voltage limiting during surge events on 63 V systems. The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 AEC-Q101 qualified?
The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the VTVS63GSMF-HM3-08 variant (with ±2 % VBR tolerance) is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in Vishay's documentation. The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 shares identical packaging, thermal, and electrical characteristics except for breakdown voltage tolerance, making it suitable for non-automotive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What does the "HM3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08?
The "HM3-08" suffix denotes halogen-free (H), RoHS-compliant and lead-free terminations (M), 3 k per 7″ reel packaging (3), and tape-and-reel format optimized for automated SMT placement (08). This matches Vishay's ordering code structure where "H" = halogen-free, "M" = lead-free tin plating, "3" = 3 k/reel, and "08" = 8 mm tape width - confirming full compliance with environmental and manufacturing requirements.
Can the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its polarity specification and single-anode/single-cathode pinout. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, two VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional part like VTVS63BSMF would be required.
What is the thermal resistance of the VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08, and how does it affect power handling?
The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RthJL) of 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink. This enables efficient heat transfer during transient events, supporting its 400 W peak pulse power rating. In real-world PCB layouts, thermal performance depends on copper pour area and via count; insufficient thermal relief may reduce effective surge capability below the rated 400 W for repeated pulses. The VTVS63ASMF-HM3-08 benefits from the SMF package's low profile and optimized thermal path.
