Product details
Overview
VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 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), 9.80–10.20 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 13.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 29.10 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity - used in USB 2.0 data line protection.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VBR tolerance, 1270 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V, 175 °C max junction temperature, low-profile SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification option.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds 9.80 V (min) at 1 mA test current. Its low-noise fast-response design achieves sub-nanosecond turn-on to limit transients before IC damage occurs.
The device uses silicon planar construction in a halogen-free molding compound, rated for 20 K/W thermal resistance (junction-to-lead), and supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1 conditions up to 260 °C peak temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform; sustains high-energy surges without failure) |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 8.5 V (maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 μA) |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 9.80–10.20 V at IT = 1 mA (±2 % tolerance ensures precise trigger threshold for 8.5 V systems) |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 13.5 V at IPPM = 29.10 A (limits downstream voltage to safe level during 400 W transient) |
| Junction Capacitance (CD) | 1270 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz (low enough for USB 2.0 signal integrity; avoids data distortion) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact & air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (meets industrial and automotive ESD robustness requirements) |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C (supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments) |
Pinout & Package

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 | ±5 % VBR (8.06–8.94 V), 15.0 V VC at 25.4 A, SMA package (2.5 mm height) | Higher clamping voltage and looser tolerance reduce protection margin for 8.5 V systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision clamping needs and board height >2.5 mm is acceptable |
| VTVS8V5ASMF-M3-08 | ±5 % VBR (9.5–10.5 V), identical package and 13.5 V VC, same 1270 pF capacitance | Less precise breakdown threshold increases risk of premature conduction in tight-margin designs | Choose only if ±5 % tolerance suffices and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08, SMAJ8.5A offers lower cost but sacrifices clamping precision and thermal performance, while VTVS8V5ASMF-M3-08 matches form/fit/function except for reduced VBR accuracy - making the G-grade optimal for high-reliability 8.5 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 13.5 V when subjected to its rated 29.10 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events, directly supporting reliability in 8.5 V system designs.
Is VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 is offered in an AEC-Q101 qualified version (denoted by "H" in ordering code, e.g., VTVS8V5GSMF-HM3-08). The base part number VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 itself is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free but requires explicit ordering with the "H" suffix to receive AEC-Q101 certification documentation and testing validation.
How does the ±2 % VBR tolerance of VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 improve system protection versus ±5 % variants?
The ±2 % VBR tolerance (9.80–10.20 V) of VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 provides tighter control over the avalanche initiation point compared to ±5 % versions like VTVS8V5ASMF-M3-08 (9.5–10.5 V), minimizing risk of false triggering near the 8.5 V VRWM and ensuring more predictable clamping onset - critical for protecting sensitive 8.5 V logic rails.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature specification for VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08?
VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 has a thermal resistance RthJL of 20 K/W (junction-to-lead, mounted on infinite heat sink) and a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C. These specs enable reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures without derating.
Can VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 be used in bidirectional signal lines like RS-485?
No - VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity (anode to line, cathode to ground). For bidirectional lines such as RS-485, a dedicated bidirectional variant (e.g., VTVS8V5BGSMSF-M3-08) or back-to-back configuration is required; using VTVS8V5GSMF-M3-08 alone would leave negative transients unprotected.
