Product details
Overview
1KSMB62CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bi-directional 1000W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with breakdown voltage 58.9–65.1 V, stand-off voltage 53.0 V, and clamping voltage 85.0 V at 11.8 A peak pulse current. It delivers fast response (<1.0 ps), meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, and is rated for automotive-grade surge protection in power supplies and adapters.
For engineers reviewing the 1KSMB62CA datasheet, 1KSMB62CA pinout, 1KSMB62CA application, or 1KSMB62CA equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, 1000W peak pulse power rating, 53.0 V working voltage, 85.0 V max clamping at 11.8 A, and DO-214AA surface-mount compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
The 1KSMB62CA uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve stable bi-directional avalanche breakdown across ±58.9–65.1 V, enabling symmetrical transient suppression on AC or differential signal lines. Its thermal design supports 175°C maximum junction temperature and 20°C/W junction-to-lead resistance, ensuring reliability under repetitive surge stress.
It complies with ISO 7637-2 for automotive transients (Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b) and is moisture-sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - suitable for standard reflow without baking. The device exhibits <1.0 µA reverse leakage at 53.0 V and 85.0 V clamping at 11.8 A (10/1000 µs waveform).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 58.9 V / 65.1 V - defines symmetric avalanche onset threshold for bi-directional surge clamping |
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC@IPP | 85.0 V @ 11.8 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream circuit stress |
| PPPSM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capacity under standardized transient waveform |
| TJ max | 175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - surface-mount outline with 0.110 g mass, UL 94V-0 molding, matte tin leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with cathode band marking (bi-directional symmetry means no polarity-dependent orientation; band denotes terminal identification per marking diagram). Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bi-directional avalanche terminals | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no DC bias dependency |
| Cathode Band Marking | Terminal identification marker | Visible band identifies one terminal per DO-214AA mechanical drawing; electrically redundant in CA devices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable, repeatable breakdown voltage and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| Sub-1.0 ps response time | Clamps transients before sensitive downstream ICs experience overvoltage stress |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance | Validated for automotive load-dump and inductive-switching surge immunity (Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b) |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates pre-bake requirement for SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing cost and cycle time |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Power Rails | Industrial AC-DC Adapter Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB-C PD and HDMI power delivery circuits from battery dump and alternator surges in head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS placed across input rails to clamp ±60 V transients before DC-DC controllers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-line TVS between AC rectifier output and bulk capacitor, absorbing 1000 W pulses. Use Value: 1000 W PPPSM rating handles IEC 61000-4-5 Combination Wave (1.2/50 µs + 8/20 µs) without degradation. |
| Medical Imaging Equipment Interfaces | Smart Meter Communication Ports |
Use Scenario: Shielding LVDS and RS-485 links between CT scanner subsystems from ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS on differential pairs to maintain signal integrity while suppressing ±8 kV contact ESD. Use Value: Low 1.0 µA leakage at 53.0 V prevents DC offset drift in precision analog front-ends. | Use Scenario: Protecting PLC and RF module supply pins in AMI smart meters subjected to grid switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS on 3.3 V/5 V rails after isolation, clamping coupled surges from metering transformers. Use Value: DO-214AA footprint allows compact layout adjacent to isolated DC-DC converters without compromising creepage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64CA (Bourns) | VBR = 60.8–67.0 V; VC = 103 V @ 9.7 A; same DO-214AA package | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 60 V-rated downstream components | Select when higher surge repetition tolerance is needed; verify 103 V clamping aligns with system OV thresholds |
| P6SMB68CA (Littelfuse) | VBR = 64.6–71.4 V; VC = 92.0 V @ 10.9 A; identical SMB footprint | Higher VWM (58.1 V) allows use in 56 V systems where 1KSMB62CA's 53.0 V would be marginal | Prefer for 56 V nominal rails; confirm 92.0 V clamping satisfies downstream IC abs max ratings |
Compared with SMBJ64CA and P6SMB68CA, the 1KSMB62CA offers the lowest clamping voltage (85.0 V) among 60 V-class bi-directional SMB TVS diodes, maximizing safety margin for 60 V-rated power stages while maintaining full ISO 7637-2 compliance and level-1 moisture sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the 1KSMB62CA?
The 1KSMB62CA has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This symmetric bi-directional specification ensures consistent clamping performance regardless of transient polarity, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal occurs.
Does the 1KSMB62CA meet automotive surge standards?
Yes, the 1KSMB62CA meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for automotive electrical disturbances, including Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a/2b (load dump), and Pulse 3a/3b (switching transients). Its 1000 W peak pulse power rating and sub-1.0 ps response time are validated under these waveforms, supporting AEC-Q200-aligned qualification testing.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1KSMB62CA and at what current?
The 1KSMB62CA has a maximum clamping voltage of 85.0 V at 11.8 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized conditions and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events, directly informing system-level overvoltage margin analysis.
Is the 1KSMB62CA compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1KSMB62CA features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements and is rated moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020) without preconditioning or baking, simplifying high-volume SMT manufacturing.
How does the 1KSMB62CA differ from unidirectional variants like 1KSMB62A?
The 1KSMB62CA is bi-directional, with symmetrical breakdown in both polarities, while 1KSMB62A is unidirectional and requires correct cathode orientation. The CA version eliminates polarity concerns in AC or differential applications and replaces two unidirectional devices in some designs, though forward voltage drop (VF) specs do not apply to bi-directional operation.
