Product details
Overview
1PMT16AT1 from onsemi is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in the POWERMITE® package, designed for clamping ESD and surge transients in low-voltage DC power rails. It features a 16 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 26 V maximum clamping voltage at 7.7 A peak pulse current, 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), <1 ns response time, and 1.1 mm profile height. It is used in portable electronics power input protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT16AT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM matching system operating voltage, clamping voltage margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, thermal performance under repeated surge duty, and PCB space constraints where its 8.45 mm² footprint and integral heatsink deliver high power density.
Technical Context
The 1PMT16AT1 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, conducting only during reverse overvoltage events above its breakdown threshold (17.8–19.7 V). Its clamping action limits transient energy delivered to downstream circuitry by diverting surge current through its low dynamic impedance path to ground.
Thermal design relies on its cathode-tab mounting: junction-to-cathode thermal resistance is 3.2 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper when soldered to a thermal pad. Its 1000 W peak power rating applies to 8/20 µs waveforms, while 200 W applies to 10/1000 µs pulses - critical for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance planning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 16 V - must be ≥ nominal DC rail voltage to avoid leakage during normal operation |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 17.8 / 18.75 / 19.7 V - defines turn-on threshold; ensures reliable conduction before downstream IC damage |
| VC @ IPP | 26 V @ 7.7 A - clamping voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| Peak Pulse Power | 200 W (10/1000 µs) - determines survivability of common lightning/surge test waveforms |
| Response Time | <1 ns - enables protection of fast-edge digital interfaces and high-speed power rails |

Pinout & Package
1PMT16AT1 is housed in the POWERMITE® (DO−216AA) surface-mount package with two terminals: Cathode (Pin 1, marked with polarity band) and Anode (Pin 2). The full metallic bottom serves as an integral heatsink and provides low-inductance grounding. Mounting requires a thermal pad connected to large copper pour for optimal power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Transient current sink node | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; tab must be soldered to thermal pad for rated power handling |
| 2 (Anode) | Protected line connection | Connected to the DC rail or signal line requiring overvoltage protection; forms series path with load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral heatsink tabs | Enables 200 W pulse handling in 1.1 mm height via direct thermal coupling to PCB copper |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates flux entrapment during reflow and reduces thermal resistance to ambient by 30% vs. standard plastic SMD |
| JEDEC DO−216AA registration | Ensures compatibility with standard automated placement equipment and IPC-7351 land patterns |
| Pb−Free & RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental regulations without derating or reliability compromise |
| Cathode band marking | Enables rapid visual polarity verification during manual inspection and rework |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A | Same VRWM (16 V), but SMA package (2.5 mm height, 29.4 mm² footprint); 400 W peak power (10/1000 µs) | Higher surge rating suits industrial mains-connected equipment; larger size incompatible with ultra-thin consumer devices | Select SMAJ16A when higher single-pulse energy tolerance is required and board height >2.5 mm is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC16A | Same VRWM (16 V), SMC package (2.3 mm height, 34.5 mm² footprint); 1500 W peak power (10/1000 µs) | Designed for AC line and telecom surge standards (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4); not optimized for space-constrained DC rails | Choose 1.5SMC16A for high-energy AC/DC front-end protection where PCB area is less constrained than height |
Compared with SMAJ16A and 1.5SMC16A, the 1PMT16AT1 delivers identical voltage protection with 50% smaller footprint and half the height-enabling integration into next-generation portable electronics where thermal performance must coexist with extreme miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the 1PMT16AT1?
The 1PMT16AT1 has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 16 V. This value represents the maximum continuous DC or peak reverse voltage the device can withstand without entering avalanche conduction. It is selected to match or slightly exceed the nominal operating voltage of the protected circuit - for example, 16 V VRWM aligns with 12–15 V DC rails in portable electronics. Operating above VRWM risks excessive leakage current and premature clamping.
Does the 1PMT16AT1 meet industry ESD standards?
Yes, the 1PMT16AT1 is rated for Class 3 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection, exceeding 16 kV per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This qualification is verified per standardized testing and confirms suitability for direct interface protection in handheld devices, USB ports, and keypad lines where user contact is frequent. Its sub-1 ns response time ensures clamping occurs before ESD energy couples into sensitive silicon.
How does the POWERMITE® package of the 1PMT16AT1 improve thermal performance?
The 1PMT16AT1 uses the POWERMITE® (DO−216AA) package with a full metallic bottom that functions as an integral heatsink. Its junction-to-cathode thermal resistance is 3.2 °C/W, significantly lower than standard SOD-123 or SMA packages. When soldered to a properly sized thermal pad on the PCB, this design enables the 1PMT16AT1 to dissipate 200 W pulses without exceeding safe junction temperatures - achieving SMA-level thermal performance in 50% less board area.
Can the 1PMT16AT1 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the 1PMT16AT1 is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. Its electrical characteristics - including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and leakage - are specified only for reverse-biased conditions. For AC signal lines or applications requiring symmetrical clamping (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ16CA must be used instead of the 1PMT16AT1.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1PMT16AT1 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1PMT16AT1 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 26 V at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 7.7 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage is the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a surge event. Designers use this value to verify margin between VC and the absolute maximum voltage rating of downstream ICs - for instance, ensuring VC remains below 28 V for a PMIC with 28 V absolute max rating.
