Product details
Overview
1KSMB100CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, rated for 1000W peak pulse power, 100V breakdown voltage (min 95V, max 105V), and clamping voltage of 137V at 7.3A peak current. It protects DC power rails in switching mode power supplies and consumer displays against ISO 7637-2 transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB100CA datasheet, 1KSMB100CA pinout, 1KSMB100CA application, or 1KSMB100CA equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 100V standoff rating (VWM = 85.5V), sub-1ps response time, UL 94V-0 molding, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - all validated for automotive-grade surge immunity.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB100CA implements a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression with bidirectional symmetry. Its 10/1000µs waveform rating supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b compliance without external biasing.
Thermally, it features RθJL = 20°C/W and RθJA = 100°C/W, enabling 5W steady-state dissipation at 25°C ambient. Junction temperature range spans −55°C to +175°C, matching under-hood and industrial enclosure requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 95 V / 105 V - ensures reliable conduction onset above 85.5 V standoff, preventing false triggering during normal operation |
| VWM | 85.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC@IPP | 137 V @ 7.3 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress to safe levels |
| PPPSM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling per single transient event, per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| Response Time | <1.0 ps - enables suppression before sensitive logic or analog circuitry sustains damage |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated placement and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band (not applicable for bi-directional 1KSMB100CA; terminals are symmetrical).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode | Bidirectional terminal pair | Identical electrical behavior in both directions; no polarity marking required - simplifies PCB layout and orientation |
Key Features

Applications
| Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) | Consumer Display TV |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input rectifier stage subjected to line surges and EFT bursts during AC mains coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping device placed across bulk capacitor input to limit transient overvoltage. Use Value: Clamps 1000W surges to ≤137V, protecting bridge rectifier and PFC controller from destructive overvoltage. | Use Scenario: HDMI/USB interface lines exposed to ESD and cable discharge events in living-room environments.

Use Value: Sub-1ps response prevents latch-up in display timing controllers and TCON ICs during fast transients. |
| Automotive Infotainment Head Unit | Industrial Monitor Power Input |
Use Scenario: 12V battery rail subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump) and Pulse 3b (capacitive coupling). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary transient suppressor on main power entry before DC-DC converters.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end protection on AC/DC adapter output feeding display logic and backlight drivers. Use Value: UL 94V-0 compound and −55°C to +175°C operating range support uncontrolled ambient deployment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100CA (ON Semiconductor) | Same DO-214AA package, identical 100V VBR range (95–105V), but VC = 143V @ 7.0A (vs. 137V @ 7.3A) | Slightly higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 120V-rated downstream components | Select when sourcing diversity is required and 6V higher clamping is acceptable |
| P6SMB100CA (STMicroelectronics) | Same package and VBR, but PPPSM = 600W (vs. 1000W); IPP = 4.4A @ VC = 143V | Lower surge rating limits use to non-automotive or lower-energy transient environments | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial adapters where ISO 7637-2 compliance is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ100CA and P6SMB100CA, the 1KSMB100CA delivers superior 1000W surge capacity and tighter 137V clamping - critical for automotive front-end protection where voltage margin directly impacts system-level robustness and qualification success.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1KSMB100CA?
The 1KSMB100CA has a specified breakdown voltage range of 95 V to 105 V at 1.0 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 100 V rating. This is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision I2102, and applies strictly to the 1KSMB100CA variant - not extrapolated from adjacent part numbers.
Is 1KSMB100CA unidirectional or bidirectional?
The "CA" suffix in 1KSMB100CA explicitly denotes bidirectional configuration per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering documentation. Unlike "A"-suffixed variants, the 1KSMB100CA has symmetrical clamping in both polarities and no cathode marking - verified in the "Devices for Bipolar Applications" section and mechanical outline diagram.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1KSMB100CA and at what current?
The 1KSMB100CA exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at a peak impulse current (IPP) of 7.3 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured and guaranteed per the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the official datasheet (I2102), and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events.
Does 1KSMB100CA meet automotive transient standards?
Yes, the 1KSMB100CA is explicitly stated to meet ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (I2102). Its 1000W peak power rating and 137V clamping performance are validated for these waveforms without additional external components.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead for 1KSMB100CA?
The junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) for 1KSMB100CA is 20°C/W, as published in the Thermal Performance table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (I2102). This parameter enables accurate calculation of junction temperature rise under pulsed power conditions and supports thermal design of PCB copper pour and heatsinking strategies.
