Product details
Overview
1SMA24AT3G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping overvoltage transients in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 24 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 38.9 V clamping voltage at 10.3 A peak pulse current, and sub-1 ns response time. It is used in automotive power supply protection, industrial PLC I/O modules, and medical equipment surge interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA24AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin vs. system operating voltage, clamping voltage headroom relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and SMA package thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
The 1SMA24AT3G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior. Its clamping action begins at 26.7 V (min VBR @ 1 mA), stabilizes at 28.1 V (nominal), and reaches full clamping at 38.9 V when subjected to 10.3 A (IPP) under standardized 10/1000 µs surge conditions.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance and fast junction response (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD (Class 3 HBM >16 kV) and lightning-induced surges. The device is rated for continuous operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and requires no bias circuitry-functioning solely as a passive crowbar element across protected nodes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Same VRWM (24 V), but SMB package (higher RJA = 300 °C/W); 600 W peak power; 43.5 V VC @ 13.8 A. | Higher clamping voltage and lower thermal efficiency-requires larger copper area for same power dissipation. | Select SMBJ24A only if board layout allows SMB footprint and system tolerates 4.6 V higher clamping than 1SMA24AT3G. |
| 1N6267A | Same SMA package, but older DO-214AC variant; 24 V VRWM, 38.9 V VC @ 10.3 A; identical electrical specs but non-Pb-free. | No RoHS compliance; obsolete for new designs requiring lead-free manufacturing. | Choose 1SMA24AT3G over 1N6267A when Pb-free compliance, traceable sourcing, and extended product lifecycle support are required. |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1N6267A, the 1SMA24AT3G offers optimal balance of low-profile SMA packaging, verified Pb-free construction, and precise 38.9 V clamping-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability 24 V industrial and automotive applications where thermal management and regulatory compliance are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMA24AT3G and how is it measured?
The 1SMA24AT3G has a clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V measured at 10.3 A peak pulse current (IPP) under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet (Rev. 10, November 2007). It represents the maximum voltage seen across the device during surge conduction and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The 1SMA24AT3G maintains this clamping performance consistently across its qualified temperature range.
Is the 1SMA24AT3G unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect circuit placement?
The 1SMA24AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only during reverse-bias overvoltage events-its cathode must be connected to the higher-potential node (e.g., VBUS or signal line), and its anode to ground or reference. This configuration blocks forward conduction during normal operation, ensuring negligible leakage (<2.5 µA at 24 V). Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot protect AC signals or dual-polarity rails without additional components. Correct polarity alignment is confirmed by the molded cathode band on the SMA package.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 1SMA24AT3G?
The 1SMA24AT3G is rated for an operating and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table (page 2 of the datasheet). This wide range supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments, industrial control cabinets exposed to ambient extremes, and medical devices requiring sterilization compatibility. Junction temperature must remain within this window during surge events; derating curves in Figure 3 confirm usable pulse power decreases linearly above 75 °C ambient.
Does the 1SMA24AT3G meet RoHS requirements, and what does the "G" suffix indicate?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1SMA24AT3G explicitly denotes a Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) version packaged in ON Semiconductor's Surmetic™ molding compound. Per the datasheet footnote on page 3, "The 'G' suffix indicates Pb-Free package available." The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. This makes the 1SMA24AT3G suitable for modern electronics manufacturing without exemption requests or process deviations.
How does the 1SMA24AT3G compare to the 1SMA24A (non-G) variant?
The 1SMA24AT3G and 1SMA24A share identical electrical specifications-including VRWM (24 V), VBR (26.7–29.5 V), VC (38.9 V), and peak power (400 W)-but differ in environmental compliance. The "G" suffix confirms Pb-free construction, whereas the base 1SMA24A uses leaded terminations. Mechanically, both use the same SMA (Case 403D-02) package with identical dimensions and thermal characteristics. For new designs targeting RoHS, REACH, or export compliance, the 1SMA24AT3G is the mandatory choice; legacy 1SMA24A may only be used in exempted or non-regulated applications.
