Product details
Overview
1SMA45AT3G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 45 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 52.65 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 72.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 5.5 A peak pulse current, and sub-1 ns response time - deployed in automotive power supplies and industrial control I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA45AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system DC bus voltage, VC margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and SMA package thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs with minimum footprint.
Technical Context
The 1SMA45AT3G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above its VBR threshold. Its low zener impedance and fast <1 ns response ensure effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges without affecting normal signal integrity.
It is rated for 400 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports 40 A forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains stable clamping up to +150°C junction temperature - enabling use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC backplanes where thermal derating must be modeled per Figure 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 45 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed circuit's DC or peak AC rail voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 50–55.3 V - Breakdown range defining turn-on threshold; ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPP=5.5 A | 72.2 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W - Sustained for 1 ms per REA 10/1000 µs waveform; defines transient energy handling capacity. |
| Junction Capacitance | 280 pF @ 0 V - Low enough for <100 MHz signal lines; impacts high-speed data line protection feasibility. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level ESD immunity design. |
Pinout & Package
1SMA45AT3G uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D), featuring a low-profile, flat-handling design suitable for top-side or bottom-side PCB mounting. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; leads are Pb-free and solderable at 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VLINE exceeds VBR. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground plane; completes clamping loop and defines reference potential for VC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping architecture | Enables asymmetric protection on DC-biased lines (e.g., 12 V power rails) without forward conduction during normal operation. |
| 400 W peak pulse rating | Handles automotive load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and industrial surge events (IEC 61000-4-5) without degradation. |
| Sub-1 ns response time | Clamps ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) before sensitive logic inputs reach destructive voltage thresholds. |
| SURMETIC® package reliability | Void-free molded plastic construction ensures long-term moisture resistance and thermal cycle stability in harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMA45AT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs; automotive-grade traceability and PPAP support. | Required for automotive OEM designs requiring certified components and process control documentation. | Select SZ1SMA45AT3G when automotive qualification, site-specific change control, or PPAP submission is mandatory. |
| 1SMA45AHE3_A/H | VBR min/max tighter (50.0–55.0 V); same VRWM/VC; Vishay packaging with alternate marking. | Drop-in replacement in non-automotive industrial designs where second-source assurance is needed. | Choose 1SMA45AHE3_A/H for dual-sourcing flexibility without layout or BOM revision. |
Compared with 1SMA45AT3G, SZ1SMA45AT3G adds automotive qualification overhead but no electrical trade-offs, while 1SMA45AHE3_A/H offers identical clamping performance with alternate supply chain validation - both require no PCB changes but differ in compliance scope and sourcing origin.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMA45AT3G under a 5.5 A transient?
The 1SMA45AT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.2 V when subjected to a 5.5 A peak pulse 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 surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 1SMA45AT3G achieves this clamping performance while dissipating 400 W peak power.
Is the 1SMA45AT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1SMA45AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional signal line protection such as RS-485 or USB data lines. It conducts only in reverse bias above its breakdown voltage and blocks forward current beyond ~3.5 V. For bidirectional protection, ON Semiconductor offers the 1SMA45CAT3G variant (not the 1SMA45AT3G), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using 1SMA45AT3G on AC-coupled or differential lines risks forward conduction and failure.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the 1SMA45AT3G?
The 1SMA45AT3G has a thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) of 250°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint. At TA = 25°C, this yields a maximum DC power dissipation of 0.5 W; derating is required above 25°C at 4.0 mW/°C. For higher power handling, thermal relief via copper pour or heatsinking is necessary - the 1SMA45AT3G's RJL of 50°C/W (junction-to-lead) supports improved conduction when leads are soldered to large copper areas.
Does the 1SMA45AT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
The standard 1SMA45AT3G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZ1SMA45AT3G is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. Both share identical electrical specifications (VRWM = 45 V, VC = 72.2 V, PPK = 400 W), but only SZ1SMA45AT3G undergoes extended stress testing, lot traceability, and change control required for automotive Tier 1 supply. For non-automotive industrial or medical use, 1SMA45AT3G remains fully compliant with its published ratings.
How does the junction capacitance of the 1SMA45AT3G affect high-speed circuit design?
The 1SMA45AT3G exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 280 pF at 0 V bias, which may load high-speed signal lines and cause edge degradation or timing skew if placed directly on data paths above ~10 MHz. It is best suited for power rail and low-frequency I/O protection (e.g., 24 V digital inputs, relay drivers). For USB, Ethernet, or CAN FD lines, lower-capacitance TVS devices (<100 pF) are recommended - the 1SMA45AT3G should be used only on DC-biased or low-bandwidth nodes where 280 pF introduces negligible impedance mismatch.
