Product details
Overview
1KSMB30A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, rated for 1000W peak pulse power, 28.5–31.5V breakdown voltage at 1mA, and 41.4V maximum clamping voltage at 24.2A peak current. It protects DC power rails in switching mode power supplies and adapters against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB30A datasheet, 1KSMB30A pinout, 1KSMB30A application, or 1KSMB30A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 25.6V stand-off voltage, <1.0ps response time, 1.0µA max reverse leakage at VWM, and compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 molding compound.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB30A employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression in automotive and industrial DC systems. Its 10/1000µs waveform rating delivers 1000W non-repetitive peak impulse power, with thermal resistance of 20°C/W (junction-to-lead) enabling reliable operation up to 175°C junction temperature.
Designed for unidirectional protection only, it features a cathode band marking, matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002, and meets moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 28.5–31.5V: Ensures reliable triggering above 25.6V stand-off without false conduction during normal operation |
| VWM | 25.6V: Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0µA |
| VC @ IPP=24.2A | 41.4V: Clamped voltage during 10/1000µs surge - defines protected circuit's maximum overvoltage exposure |
| PPPSM | 1000W: Peak pulse power handling capability under standardized transient conditions |
| TJ max | 175°C: Enables use in high-temperature environments such as enclosed power adapters or engine-bay electronics |
| Response time | <1.0ps: Sub-nanosecond junction response ensures clamping before transient energy couples into downstream ICs |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, single-die unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Weight: 0.110g. Molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.

Applications
| Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) | AC-DC Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input rectifier stage of offline flyback converter subjected to line surges and EFT bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed across bulk capacitor to clamp differential-mode transients before they reach primary-side controller. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤41.4V during 1000W surge, preventing overvoltage failure of MOSFET gate oxide and controller VDD pin. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side 12V output rail exposed to hot-plug and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output-line protector between DC jack and downstream USB-PD or logic circuitry. Use Value: Clamps 24.2A surge within 1ps, maintaining regulated output below 41.4V to avoid latch-up in connected devices. |
| Television Power Board | Industrial Monitor PSU |
Use Scenario: Standby 5V rail in smart TV mainboard encountering conducted noise from internal switching regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized protection at point-of-load for microcontroller and memory power domains. Use Value: 1.0µA leakage at 25.6V ensures no measurable impact on standby current budget while suppressing sub-100ns ringing. | Use Scenario: 24V auxiliary supply in medical-grade monitor exposed to ESD and lightning-induced surges via external I/O cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense on power entry connector before upstream fuse and filter stage. Use Value: 175°C max junction temperature supports operation inside sealed metal chassis with limited airflow. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA package, identical 30V nominal VBR, but 1000W rating tested at TA=25°C only; RθJA=110°C/W vs. 100°C/W for 1KSMB30A | Suitable for lower ambient temperature PCB layouts; less margin in thermally constrained enclosures | Select SMBJ30A if sourcing from Bourns-authorized channels; verify thermal derating curves match system airflow profile |
| P6SMB30A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs and DO-214AA footprint; differs in marking code (A10P vs. A10P or "30A") and JEDEC-compliant tape/reel packaging (3000 pcs vs. 3000 pcs) | No functional difference; validated in same automotive test suites including ISO 7637-2 | P6SMB30A offers second-source availability with identical performance - ideal for dual-sourcing strategies in OEM production |
Compared with SMBJ30A and P6SMB30A, the 1KSMB30A provides tighter thermal resistance (RθJA=100°C/W), verified JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance aligned with IEC 61249-2-21 - making it preferred for high-reliability industrial and medical-adjacent designs where long-term solder joint integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the 1KSMB30A?
The 1KSMB30A is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking. It conducts only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode - making it suitable for DC line protection where polarity is fixed. It must not be used in bidirectional AC applications unless paired with a complementary device; for bidirectional protection, the 1KSMB30CA variant is required.
Does the 1KSMB30A meet automotive transient immunity standards?
Yes, the 1KSMB30A meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling) requirements. Its 1000W peak pulse rating and sub-1ps response time ensure effective clamping of automotive-level transients without degradation under repeated stress testing.
What is the maximum allowable mounting temperature for reflow soldering of the 1KSMB30A?
The 1KSMB30A has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be exposed to ambient conditions indefinitely without baking. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002, supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds - consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.3 guidelines.
How does the 1KSMB30A compare to the 1KSMB30CA in terms of electrical performance?
The 1KSMB30A and 1KSMB30CA share identical breakdown voltage (28.5–31.5V), clamping voltage (41.4V), and peak pulse power (1000W) ratings. The sole difference is polarity: 1KSMB30A is unidirectional (cathode-marked), while 1KSMB30CA is bidirectional (no polarity marking, symmetrical VBR in both directions). Their thermal and mechanical specs are identical.
Is the 1KSMB30A halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1KSMB30A is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all plating materials meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - confirmed in TSC's official material declaration for version I2102.
