Product details
Overview
1PMT16AT1G 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 circuits. 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 power rating (10/1000 µs), <1 ns response time, and 1.1 mm max height. It is used to protect USB ports, I/O lines, and power rails in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT16AT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system operating voltage, surge current capability under 8/20 µs vs. 10/1000 µs waveforms, thermal performance via cathode-tab mounting, JEDEC DO−216AA compliance, and Pb-free RoHS status for surface-mount assembly.
Technical Context
The 1PMT16AT1G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, conducting only in reverse breakdown above its VRWM of 16 V. Its clamping action limits transient overvoltage to ≤26 V at 7.7 A IPP, with low dynamic impedance enabling fast energy diversion away from protected ICs.
It uses a thermally optimized POWERMITE (DO−216AA) package with integral heatsink tabs and full metallic cathode tab (Pin 2), achieving 3.2 °C/W junction-to-cathode thermal resistance. This allows sustained power dissipation up to 23 W at Ttab = 75°C, supporting high-reliability protection in space-constrained layouts.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected between rail and ground, absorbing load-dump or inductive switching spikes from DC-DC converters. Use Value: 200 W peak power rating handles 10/1000 µs surges up to 7.7 A, and 3.2 °C/W RJcathode enables effective heat spreading into internal ground layers. |
| Industrial Sensor I/O | POS Terminal Keypad Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding 0–10 V or 4–20 mA analog sensor inputs in factory automation equipment from induced lightning surges on long cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on signal line, coordinated with series current-limiting resistor and optional RC filter. Use Value: 16 V VRWM matches typical industrial sensor supply headroom, and 26 V VC ensures ADC input stays within absolute maximum ratings during 1 kV/500 A 8/20 µs transients. | Use Scenario: Guarding membrane keypad scan lines in retail point-of-sale terminals against ESD from customer finger contact. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<50 pF at 0 V) unidirectional TVS placed at microcontroller GPIO pins driving keypad rows/columns. Use Value: 8.45 mm² footprint fits tight routing near MCU, and >16 kV HBM rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements without degrading touch response speed. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A | Same VRWM (16 V) and VC (26 V), but SMA package (3.5 mm height, 2× larger footprint); higher RJA (500 °C/W vs. 248 °C/W). | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile designs; requires more PCB area and offers inferior thermal performance under repetitive surges. | Select SMAJ16A only if legacy layout compatibility or higher single-pulse energy (400 W) is required and height is not constrained. |
| 1.5SMC16A | Higher Ppk (1500 W @ 10/1000 µs), but larger SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm); VRWM identical, VC slightly higher (27.7 V). | Targeted at high-energy industrial surge protection (IEC 61000-4-5), not portable electronics; incompatible with fine-pitch or thin-profile assemblies. | Choose 1.5SMC16A when protecting AC mains-fed equipment or where 1500 W surge immunity is mandatory and board space permits. |
Compared with SMAJ16A and 1.5SMC16A, the 1PMT16AT1G delivers identical electrical protection performance in a 50% smaller footprint and 1.1 mm profile, with superior thermal conduction via its cathode-tab design-making it optimal for modern compact, thermally demanding portable and embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) specification for the 1PMT16AT1G?
The 1PMT16AT1G has a specified working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 16 V, meaning it reliably blocks voltages up to this level in normal operation without entering breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet (1PMT5.0AT3/D, Rev. 10), where VRWM is listed as "16" for the 1PMT16AT1G/T3G variant. It is selected to match 15 V nominal rails with adequate safety margin.
Does the 1PMT16AT1G have bidirectional or unidirectional transient suppression capability?
1PMT16AT1G is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, designed to clamp only reverse-biased transients. Its pinout (Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode) and electrical characteristics-including forward voltage testing and absence of symmetric breakdown parameters-confirm unidirectional operation. It must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground, unlike bidirectional TVS devices which suppress both polarities.
What is the maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the 1PMT16AT1G under standard test conditions?
The 1PMT16AT1G exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 26 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 7.7 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating ranges.
How does the POWERMITE® package of the 1PMT16AT1G improve thermal performance compared to standard SOD-123 or SMA packages?
The 1PMT16AT1G's POWERMITE® package achieves a junction-to-cathode thermal resistance (RJcathode) of 3.2 °C/W, significantly lower than typical SOD-123 (~100 °C/W) or SMA (~50 °C/W) packages. This is enabled by its full metallic cathode tab (Pin 2), which provides direct thermal conduction to PCB copper pours. As a result, the 1PMT16AT1G sustains higher average power and survives repetitive surges better than comparably rated discrete TVS diodes in smaller footprints.
Is the 1PMT16AT1G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1PMT16AT1G is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the Specification Features section ("These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant") and the Ordering Information table ("1PMTxxAT1G - POWERMITE (Pb−Free)"). The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the Pb-free package variant, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for standard reflow processing.
