Product details
Overview
1KSMB30AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1000W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with standoff voltage 25.6 V, breakdown voltage 28.5–31.5 V at 1 mA, clamping voltage 41.4 V at 24.2 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB30AH datasheet, 1KSMB30AH pinout, 1KSMB30AH application, or 1KSMB30AH equivalent, this device serves as a robust, surface-mount solution for protecting automotive electronics, industrial control inputs, and power supply rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients and ESD events.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB30AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 28.5 V minimum breakdown threshold. It delivers sub-1 ps response time and clamps transient energy to ≤41.4 V at 24.2 A peak pulse current under 10/1000 µs waveform.
Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 25.6 V), while thermal resistance of 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) supports sustained surge handling in compact SMB layouts. The device is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +175 °C and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A | Same DO-214AA package; VBR 31.7–35.0 V, VC 48.4 V @ 20.7 A - higher clamping voltage | Less effective clamping margin for 3.3 V/5 V logic rails near protected ICs | Select 1KSMB30AH when lower VC is required to meet strict voltage tolerance budgets |
| P6SMB30A | Identical electrical specs (VBR 28.5–31.5 V, VC 41.4 V), but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not suitable for automotive production without additional qualification testing | Choose 1KSMB30AH for automotive OEM programs requiring certified component traceability |
Compared with SMBJ30A and P6SMB30A, the 1KSMB30AH offers identical clamping performance plus AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter VBR distribution-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial designs requiring guaranteed reliability and documented stress-test validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1KSMB30AH under standard test conditions?
The 1KSMB30AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 41.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs transient waveform at 24.2 A peak current. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The 1KSMB30AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +175 °C).
Is the 1KSMB30AH suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1KSMB30AH is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC-biased lines such as power supplies or grounded signal paths. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), the 1KSMB30CAH variant must be used. The 1KSMB30AH features a cathode band marking and conducts only in reverse breakdown-forward conduction follows standard silicon diode behavior.
Does the 1KSMB30AH require special handling during PCB assembly?
No, the 1KSMB30AH is rated moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and placed directly into standard reflow profiles without baking. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 for solderability, and the DO-214AA package supports automated pick-and-place with standard nozzle tooling.
What automotive standards does the 1KSMB30AH meet?
The 1KSMB30AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested to meet ISO 7637-2 for Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a (sudden load removal), Pulse 2b (supply interruption), Pulse 3a (capacitive coupled transients), and Pulse 3b (ground noise). These certifications validate its suitability for engine control units, body modules, and ADAS subsystems.
How does the 1KSMB30AH compare to the SMBJ30A in terms of thermal performance?
The 1KSMB30AH has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, matching the SMBJ30A. However, its glass-passivated junction and optimized die attach yield more consistent thermal derating above 25 °C ambient, especially under repetitive surge conditions. Both parts share identical DO-214AA footprint and solder thermal mass, but the 1KSMB30AH's AEC-Q101 qualification confirms validated thermal cycling endurance.
