Product details

Overview

1KSMB24A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1000W surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with breakdown voltage 22.8–25.2 V, stand-off voltage 20.5 V, clamping voltage 33.2 V at 30.1 A, and junction temperature range −55 °C to +175 °C. It protects DC power rails in switching mode power supplies against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.

For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB24A datasheet, 1KSMB24A pinout, 1KSMB24A application, or 1KSMB24A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional clamping performance, 1000W peak pulse power rating, 33.2 V max clamping at 30.1 A, DO-214AA mechanical compatibility, and compliance with automotive transient immunity standards.

Technical Context

The 1KSMB24A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 22.8–25.2 V breakdown threshold. It clamps transient energy within <1.0 ps response time and sustains 30.1 A peak impulse current under 10/1000 µs waveform while limiting voltage to 33.2 V.

Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 20.5 V), and thermal design supports 20 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements for SMB molding compound.

Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMBJ24A (Bourns)Same DO-214AA package, identical VBR (22.8–25.2 V), but higher VC = 38.9 V @ 25.7 A and lower PPPSM = 600 WLess robust clamping margin in high-energy 10/1000 µs events; suitable only where peak current <25 A is expectedSelect 1KSMB24A when full 1000 W immunity per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a is required
1.5SMC24A (ON Semiconductor)Same electrical specs (VBR, VC, IPP) but in larger DO-214AB (SMC) package; 1.5× footprint area and 2.5× weightRequires PCB layout change; better thermal mass but incompatible with space-constrained SMB footprintsChoose 1KSMB24A for DO-214AA footprint compatibility and automated placement optimization

Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5SMC24A, the 1KSMB24A delivers superior 1000 W pulse handling in the smallest standard SMB outline, with tighter clamping (33.2 V vs. 38.9 V) and MSL-1 process readiness-making it optimal for high-density automotive and industrial 24 V rail protection.

FAQ

What is the polarity configuration of the 1KSMB24A?

The 1KSMB24A is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking. It conducts in reverse bias above its 22.8–25.2 V breakdown voltage and blocks up to 20.5 V in forward direction. Its polarity must be observed during PCB layout-cathode connects to the protected line, anode to ground. This configuration is confirmed in the device's marking diagram and absolute maximum ratings table.

Does the 1KSMB24A meet automotive transient immunity standards?

Yes, the 1KSMB24A meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements, as explicitly stated in its features list. Its 1000 W peak pulse power rating, 33.2 V clamping voltage at 30.1 A, and sub-1.0 ps response time enable direct compliance with load-dump and supply interruption test profiles common in 12 V and 24 V vehicle networks.

What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1KSMB24A?

The 1KSMB24A has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 5 W at TA = 25 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value derates linearly above 25 °C per the Pulse Derating Curve (Fig.2), reaching zero at 175 °C junction temperature. Continuous DC power dissipation must remain below this limit to avoid thermal runaway.

Is the 1KSMB24A compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?

Yes, the 1KSMB24A uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 per J-STD-020-meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and placed directly into lead-free reflow without pre-baking. Its UL 94V-0 molding compound also withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C.

How does the 1KSMB24A differ from the 1KSMB24CA variant?

The 1KSMB24CA is the bidirectional version of the same device, with symmetrical breakdown in both polarities (VBR = 22.8–25.2 V in either direction) and no polarity marking. In contrast, the 1KSMB24A is unidirectional, optimized for DC rail protection where only reverse transients occur. Their clamping voltages, peak power, and package are identical-but circuit function and schematic symbol differ fundamentally.
