Product details
Overview
1KSMB47CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bi-directional 1000W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with 44.7V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 40.2V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 64.8V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4A peak pulse current. It delivers AEC-Q101 qualification and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive load-dump and ESD protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB47CAH datasheet, 1KSMB47CAH pinout, 1KSMB47CAH application, or 1KSMB47CAH equivalent, this device serves as a robust, surface-mount bidirectional TVS for high-energy transients in automotive power electronics, lighting control modules, and industrial I/O protection where fast response (<1.0 ps), low leakage (<1 µA @ VWM), and UL 94V-0 molding are critical.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB47CAH employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for bi-directional clamping, enabling symmetrical surge suppression without polarity sensitivity. Its thermal design supports 175°C max junction temperature and achieves 20°C/W junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL), ensuring reliable power dissipation during repetitive 10/1000µs transients.
It operates across -55°C to +175°C ambient range, complies with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and features matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Moisture sensitivity is rated Level 1 per J-STD-020 - eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 44.7V / 49.4V - defines guaranteed avalanche initiation range under 1mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VWM | 40.2V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; sets safe DC bias margin before leakage rises above 1µA |
| VC @ IPP | 64.8V @ 15.4A - clamped voltage during 10/1000µs surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case overvoltage exposure |
| PPPSM | 1000W - non-repetitive peak pulse power rating; validates capability to absorb automotive load-dump energy (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) |
| Junction Temp (TJ) | -55°C to +175°C - enables deployment in engine bay, powertrain, and under-hood ECUs without derating |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 0.110g mass; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded epoxy case with cathode band marking (bi-directional symmetry means no functional polarity; band denotes terminal orientation only). Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability; weight ≈0.110g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bi-directional surge path | Both terminals function identically; no DC polarity dependency - simplifies PCB layout and eliminates orientation errors |
| Cathode Band Marking | Physical reference indicator | Visible band aligns with one terminal for mechanical identification only; no electrical asymmetry in 1KSMB47CAH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - required for powertrain and body-control modules |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term stability and moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives; critical for under-hood longevity |
| Fast response time <1.0 ps | Clamps transients before sensitive logic or analog circuitry sustains damage - essential for CAN/LIN bus node protection |
| Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b | Complies with full suite of automotive electrical disturbance tests - qualifies for OEM Tier-1 supplier BOMs without additional validation |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Fulfills EU ELV and China RoHS material restrictions; supports global vehicle homologation and end-of-life recycling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47CA | Same DO-214AA package, identical VBR/VC specs, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for automotive safety-critical nodes | Select 1KSMB47CAH when automotive qualification or extended temperature operation is mandatory |
| 1.5SMC47CA | Higher 1500W PPPM, larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, same VBR/VC ratings | Better suited for higher-energy surges but requires larger PCB area and different thermal management | Choose 1KSMB47CAH for space-constrained automotive modules where SMB footprint and AEC-Q101 are prioritized over extra power headroom |
Compared with SMBJ47CA and 1.5SMC47CA, the 1KSMB47CAH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, DO-214AA compactness, and verified ISO 7637-2 immunity - making it the preferred choice for automotive body electronics and industrial controls requiring certified reliability in minimal board space.

FAQ
What does the 'CAH' suffix indicate in 1KSMB47CAH?
The 'CAH' suffix in 1KSMB47CAH explicitly denotes a bi-directional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression across both polarities without requiring orientation-specific placement. This differs from 'AH' variants, which are unidirectional and require correct anode/cathode alignment. The CAH version is essential for AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic protection circuits such as CAN bus lines or dual-rail sensor interfaces.
Is 1KSMB47CAH suitable for protecting a 24V automotive system?
Yes, 1KSMB47CAH is well-suited for 24V automotive systems: its 40.2V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides sufficient margin above nominal 24V and typical 28V alternator regulation, while its 64.8V clamping voltage remains below the absolute maximum ratings of most 36V-tolerant interface ICs. It is validated per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b - covering all common 24V vehicle transient profiles.
How does the thermal performance of 1KSMB47CAH compare to similar SMB-packaged TVS diodes?
1KSMB47CAH achieves a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20°C/W, matching industry-leading SMB TVS devices. This value enables effective heat transfer to the PCB copper pour, supporting sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures. Its 175°C max junction rating - combined with RθJL - allows reliable handling of repetitive surges in engine compartment environments where other SMB devices may thermally saturate.
Can 1KSMB47CAH be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like 1KSMB47AH?
No - 1KSMB47CAH and 1KSMB47AH are not interchangeable without circuit review. While both share identical VBR, VC, and package, the CAH variant is bi-directional and lacks polarity dependence, whereas the AH variant is unidirectional and must be oriented correctly to conduct reverse surges. Substituting one for the other may result in failed protection or forward conduction during normal operation.
Does 1KSMB47CAH meet halogen-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, 1KSMB47CAH is fully halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliant, with lead content below 1000 ppm and no restricted substances exceeding EU Directive 2011/65/EU limits. These certifications are documented in TSC's material declarations and support global vehicle type approval and WEEE-compliant end-of-life processing.
