Product details
Overview
1KSMB62A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1000W surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with breakdown voltage 58.9–65.1 V, stand-off voltage 53.0 V, clamping voltage 85.0 V at 11.8 A, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C. It protects power supplies and adapters against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB62A datasheet, 1KSMB62A pinout, 1KSMB62A application, or 1KSMB62A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 10/1000 µs surge capability, 1.0 mA test current, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, and compliance with J-STD-020 moisture level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB62A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its 58.9–65.1 V breakdown range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable clamping performance under repetitive transient stress.
It delivers 1000 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform, with thermal resistance of 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable operation in high-temperature PCB environments without forced cooling.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) | AC-DC Adapters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input rectifier stage of offline SMPS exposed to line surges and load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed across bulk capacitor or bridge rectifier output to clamp overvoltage spikes. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤85.0 V, protecting primary-side controller and MOSFETs rated for 100 V drain-source breakdown. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side DC output rail of universal-input wall adapters subject to ESD and fast transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated protection device installed between +VOUT and GND to suppress coupling from primary side or external cable events. Use Value: Maintains 53.0 V stand-off while clamping 11.8 A surges to 85.0 V, preserving regulation integrity of 5 V/12 V/19 V outputs. |
| Flat Panel TV Power Board | Monitor Backlight Inverter Input |
Use Scenario: Main 12 V/24 V supply rail feeding logic board and LED driver modules in consumer TVs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage suppression element upstream of DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Withstands repeated 1000 W pulses per ISO 7637-2, preventing latch-up or damage to 3.3 V/5 V LDOs and HDMI interface ICs. | Use Scenario: High-voltage DC input (e.g., 24–48 V) to CCFL or LED backlight inverter circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient shunt placed across inverter input capacitor to prevent overvoltage-induced gate oxide stress on MOSFET drivers. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 µs transients to 85.0 V, staying below typical 100 V MOSFET VDS rating and avoiding destructive avalanche in driver stages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ60A (Bourns) | 60 V VBR min (57–63 V), same DO-214AA package, 1000 W rating, but 87.1 V clamping at 11.5 A | Slightly lower clamping voltage margin; tighter VBR tolerance may reduce design guardband | Preferable where tighter VBR control is needed and 87.1 V clamping is acceptable |
| P6SMB62A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical VBR (58.9–65.1 V), same DO-214AA, 1000 W, but 85.0 V clamping at 11.8 A - matches 1KSMB62A exactly | No functional difference in electrical behavior or mounting; identical thermal and surge specs | Drop-in alternative with validated second-source availability and same production qualification status |
Compared with SMBJ60A and P6SMB62A, the 1KSMB62A offers identical clamping performance to P6SMB62A and superior voltage margin over SMBJ60A, making it optimal for designs requiring precise 62 V-class standoff with guaranteed ≤85.0 V clamping under full-rated surge.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the 1KSMB62A?
The 1KSMB62A has a specified breakdown voltage range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at 1.0 mA test current (VBR@IT). This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots while maintaining compatibility with 62 V nominal system rails. The 1KSMB62A is tested per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Is the 1KSMB62A suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1KSMB62A is unidirectional only. For bidirectional protection, the 1KSMB62CA variant must be used - it features symmetrical breakdown in both polarities and carries the "CA" suffix. The 1KSMB62A has a cathode band marking and is intended for DC line-to-ground protection where polarity is fixed.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1KSMB62A under surge conditions?
The 1KSMB62A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V when subjected to its rated 11.8 A peak impulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Does the 1KSMB62A meet automotive transient immunity standards?
Yes, the 1KSMB62A meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off), Pulse 2a/2b (supply disconnection), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling), making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V automotive subsystems such as infotainment power supplies and body control modules where the 1KSMB62A provides certified front-end protection.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for the 1KSMB62A?
The 1KSMB62A is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during PCB assembly - a key advantage of the 1KSMB62A in high-volume SMT production.
