Product details

Overview

1KSMB100A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1000W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with breakdown voltage 95–105 V, stand-off voltage 85.5 V, clamping voltage 137 V at 7.3 A, and peak pulse power rating of 1000 W under 10/1000 µs waveform. It is designed for overvoltage protection in switching mode power supplies and industrial adapters.

For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB100A datasheet, 1KSMB100A pinout, 1KSMB100A application, or 1KSMB100A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 137 V clamping performance at 7.3 A IPP, DO-214AA thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), ISO 7637-2 compliance, and moisture sensitivity level 1 handling requirements.

Technical Context

The 1KSMB100A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 95–105 V breakdown range at 1 mA test current. Its fast response time (<1.0 ps) enables suppression of ESD and load-dump transients before downstream circuitry sustains damage.

Thermally, it supports junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C, with RθJL = 20 °C/W and RθJA = 100 °C/W, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments when mounted on standard PCB copper areas per DO-214AA pad layout guidelines.

Applications

Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS)AC-DC Adapters

Use Scenario: Protection of primary-side rectifier output and secondary-side DC bus against line surges and switching transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed across bulk capacitor or input rectifier to clamp transient energy before reaching controller ICs.

Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤137 V during 1000 W pulses, preventing MOSFET gate oxide rupture and PWM controller latch-up.

Use Scenario: Input-stage overvoltage protection in wall-mounted AC-DC adapters used in consumer electronics.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected between live/neutral and ground to absorb differential-mode surges per IEC 61000-4-5.

Use Value: Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge up to 100 A while maintaining <1 µA leakage at 85.5 V, ensuring no standby power penalty.

Industrial MonitorsPoint-of-Sale (POS) Terminals

Use Scenario: DC input rail protection in 24 V-powered industrial monitors exposed to field wiring transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed at power entry connector to shunt induced spikes from relay switching or motor drives.

Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 µs transients to 137 V within <1 ps, preserving display controller integrity and avoiding firmware resets.

Use Scenario: 12 V or 24 V DC input protection in retail POS terminals subject to hot-plug and ESD events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage guard on main power rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDOs.

Use Value: Delivers 1000 W peak power handling in SMB footprint, eliminating need for larger DO-214AB or discrete MOV+TVS stacks.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMBJ100A (ON Semiconductor)Same DO-214AA package; VBR = 111–123 V; VC = 162 V @ 6.2 A; PPPM = 600 WLower peak power rating and higher clamping voltage reduce margin in high-energy load-dump scenariosSelect 1KSMB100A when ≥1000 W pulse handling and ≤137 V clamping are required at 7.3 A
P6SMB100A (Littelfuse)Same DO-214AA package; VBR = 105–116 V; VC = 158 V @ 6.3 A; PPPM = 600 WHigher VBR min and clamping voltage limit use in 85–100 V nominal systems with tight voltage marginsChoose 1KSMB100A for tighter VBR (95–105 V) and superior clamping (137 V) in 100 V-class rails

Compared with SMBJ100A and P6SMB100A, the 1KSMB100A offers higher peak pulse power (1000 W vs. 600 W), lower clamping voltage (137 V vs. ≥158 V), and tighter VBR tolerance-making it preferable for robust 100 V DC bus protection where transient energy and voltage margin are critical.

FAQ

What is the polarity configuration of the 1KSMB100A?

The 1KSMB100A is a unidirectional TVS diode, with cathode marked by a band on the DO-214AA package. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events and blocks forward current like a standard rectifier. This configuration is confirmed in the "Devices for Bipolar Applications" note specifying CA suffix for bidirectional variants-1KSMB100A lacks the CA suffix and is therefore unidirectional.

Does the 1KSMB100A meet automotive transient standards?

Yes, the 1KSMB100A meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements as explicitly stated in its features list. These pulses simulate battery disconnect, load dump, and capacitive coupling transients in 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems, confirming suitability for automotive front-end protection when used with appropriate layout and grounding.

What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1KSMB100A and at what current is it specified?

The maximum clamping voltage of the 1KSMB100A is 137 V, measured at a peak impulse current (IPP) of 7.3 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is listed in the Electrical Specifications table for device 1KSMB100A and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.

Is the 1KSMB100A compatible with lead-free reflow processes?

Yes, the 1KSMB100A has matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 for solderability and is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be subjected to standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3 peak of 260 °C) without baking or special handling.

How does the 1KSMB100A differ from the 1KSMB100CA variant?

The 1KSMB100CA is the bidirectional version of the same platform, indicated by the "CA" suffix. While both share identical VBR (95–105 V), VWM (85.5 V), and PPPSM (1000 W) ratings, the 1KSMB100CA conducts symmetrically in both directions and has no polarity marking-making it suitable for AC line or data-line protection where voltage polarity reverses. The 1KSMB100A is strictly unidirectional.
