Product details
Overview
VTVS9V4GSMF-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 such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features 9.4 V stand-off voltage, 10.83–11.28 V reverse breakdown at 1 mA, 14.9 V max clamping voltage at 26.23 A peak pulse current, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge immunity.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, this device delivers precise 2 % VBR tolerance, halogen-free construction, AEC-Q101 qualification readiness, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint for space-constrained board-level protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 9.4 V working threshold. Its 14.9 V clamping voltage at 26.23 A (10/1000 μs) ensures robust overvoltage suppression while limiting downstream stress on protected ICs like USB transceivers or CAN controllers.
The SMF package enables wave and reflow soldering with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and 260 °C peak reflow tolerance. With 1.08 mm height and 3.9 × 1.9 mm footprint, it supports high-density routing in automotive infotainment and industrial I/O modules where thermal resistance to lead (RthJL) is 20 K/W.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | ±5 % VBR, 9.0 V VRWM, 14.4 V VC at 27.8 A, SMA package (larger, 4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) | Higher leakage (5 μA vs. 0.1 μA), less precise VRWM alignment for 9 V rails | Select when cost priority outweighs footprint and tolerance; verify layout clearance for larger SMA body |
| TPSMD9.0A | ±5 % VBR, 9.0 V VRWM, 14.4 V VC at 27.8 A, SMD package identical to SMF but non-AEC-Q101 rated | No AEC-Q101 qualification path; same electrical specs but lower automotive reliability assurance | Choose for industrial or consumer use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; identical footprint drop-in replacement |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A and TPSMD9.0A, VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 provides tighter 2 % breakdown tolerance, lower leakage, halogen-free compliance, and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness-making it optimal for automotive and high-reliability industrial designs where voltage margin and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 under standard test conditions?
The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 14.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform with a peak pulse current of 26.23 A. This value is measured at Tamb = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 is part of Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified eSMP® family, with qualification documented in the official datasheet revision 2.2. While the base part number does not include an "H" prefix (e.g., VTVS9V4GSMF-HM3-08), the -M3-08 variant shares the same die and qualification status. The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 meets all AEC-Q101 stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling.
What is the capacitance of the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 exhibits 1130 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value makes it suitable for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and RS-485 interfaces but unsuitable for USB 3.0, HDMI, or PCIe, where sub-10 pF capacitance is typically required. Signal integrity analysis must account for this capacitance when routing near sensitive receivers. The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 is not recommended for differential high-speed lanes without pre-layout simulation.
How does the ±2 % breakdown voltage tolerance of the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 improve system design?
The ±2 % VBR tolerance of the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 reduces uncertainty in clamping onset, enabling tighter design margins around 9.4 V rails-such as automotive 9 V sensor supplies or industrial 12 V systems with 10 % regulation. This precision minimizes overvoltage risk to downstream ICs while avoiding premature conduction during normal operation. The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 achieves this without sacrificing surge handling capability.
Can the VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
The VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode and cannot provide symmetrical clamping for AC or bipolar signals on its own. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485), two VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 devices are required-one anode-to-line and one cathode-to-line-or a dedicated bidirectional TVS must be selected. Using a single VTVS9V4GSMF-M3-08 in reverse-biased mode risks permanent damage due to forward conduction during negative transients.
