Product details
Overview
VTVS8V5ASMF-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 8.5 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 9.5–10.5 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 13.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 28.24 A peak pulse current, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity-used in automotive infotainment power rails and USB Type-C port protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, low capacitance (1270 pF at 0 V), AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free compliance, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint constraints.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 9.5–10.5 V breakdown range. Its low-noise fast-response design achieves sub-nanosecond turn-on to limit transients before sensitive downstream ICs are damaged.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), it sustains 28.24 A peak pulse current while clamping to ≤13.5 V, with thermal resistance of 20 K/W to infinite heat sink and operating junction temperature up to +175 °C-enabling use in under-hood automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 8.5 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 μA, defining safe operating margin for 9–12 V supply rails. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 9.5–10.5 V at 1 mA - tight ±5 % tolerance ensures predictable triggering across temperature and production lots. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 13.5 V at 28.24 A - limits transient voltage seen by protected ICs during 10/1000 μs surges, preserving logic-level integrity. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 400 W - supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges in automotive ECUs. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 1270 pF at 0 V - balances ESD suppression capability with signal integrity for low-speed interfaces like CAN, LIN, and sensor buses. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Class 4 requirements for front-panel and connector-level protection. |
| Package | SMF (DO-219AB) - low-profile 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm surface-mount package compatible with SOD-123W footprint and reflow soldering. |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against high-energy automotive load dump and inductive switching transients 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.5A | Higher clamping voltage (15.0 V at 25.4 A), larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm), lower PPP (400 W same, but lower IPP). | Less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules where SMF footprint is mandated. | Select VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 when board area is limited and clamping below 14 V is required for 9 V rail protection. |
| TPSMD8.5A | Same VRWM and VBR range, but higher capacitance (1500 pF), non-AEC-Q101 rated, different thermal resistance (25 K/W). | Not recommended for automotive under-hood use due to missing AEC-Q101 qualification and reduced thermal performance. | Choose VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 for AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring tighter thermal management and lower parasitic capacitance. |
Compared with SMAJ8.5A and TPSMD8.5A, VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 delivers superior board-area efficiency, lower clamping voltage, and verified AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive electronics where footprint, thermal headroom, and automotive compliance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 13.5 V at 28.24 A peak pulse current under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the absolute maximum ratings table in Vishay document 85891 Rev. 2.2 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C.
Is the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 AEC-Q101 qualified?
The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 is part of the AEC-Q101-qualified VTVS family; however, qualification applies specifically to parts ordered with the "H" environmental code (as indicated in the ordering information table). Since "HM3-08" includes the "H" prefix, the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive applications-including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. Full qualification data is documented in Vishay's AEC-Q101 reports for the SMF package platform.
What is the capacitance of the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 and how does it affect signal integrity?
The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 exhibits a typical capacitance (CD) of 1270 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. This value is optimized to balance ESD suppression effectiveness with minimal impact on low-speed digital signals-making it suitable for CAN, LIN, and 4–20 mA sensor interfaces. At 19.2 kbps LIN rates, the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 introduces negligible rise-time degradation, preserving waveform fidelity without requiring additional filtering or layout compensation.
Can the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its polarity designation in the primary characteristics table and electrical specifications. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a separate bidirectional variant such as VTVS8V5BSMF would be required-not the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of the VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08?
The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 has a thermal resistance (RthJL) of 20 K/W when mounted on an infinite heat sink, and a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C. These parameters are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of Vishay document 85891. The VTVS8V5ASMF-HM3-08 is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, supporting under-hood automotive placement where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C and transient power dissipation must be efficiently conducted through the leads.
