Product details
Overview
1SMA6.5AT3G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping overvoltage transients on DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 6.5 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 7.6 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 11.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 35.7 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time. It is used in automotive power supply protection and industrial control I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA6.5AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin vs. operating voltage, VC vs. protected IC absolute maximum rating, IPP capability under system surge profiles, and SMA package thermal performance in FR-4 layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMA6.5AT3G operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only during positive transients relative to its cathode. Its clamping action begins at VBR = 7.22–7.98 V (min–max @ IT = 10 mA) and limits voltage to ≤11.2 V at IPP = 35.7 A under 10/1000 µs waveform.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (1 ms, non-repetitive), with thermal resistance RJA = 250 °C/W on FR-4 board and RJL = 50 °C/W to lead. The device exhibits 1605 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 250 µA max IR at VRWM = 6.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 6.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; must exceed circuit's DC operating voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=10 mA | 7.6 V (nominal) - Avalanche onset voltage; defines minimum clamping threshold under standardized test conditions. |
| VC @ IPP=35.7 A | 11.2 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; must stay below protected IC's absolute max input rating. |
| PPK | 400 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity; validated per 10 × 1000 µs waveform per R.E.A. standard. |
| CJ @ 0 V | 1605 pF - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency signal integrity; relevant for data line protection. |
| IR @ VRWM | 250 µA - Reverse leakage at rated working voltage; impacts low-power standby current budgets. |
| Response Time | < 1 ns - Time from transient onset to conduction; ensures protection of fast-edge digital and analog circuits. |
Pinout & Package
The 1SMA6.5AT3G is housed in an 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 molded cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Anode of internal Zener junction | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., VIN or signal line); conducts when transient exceeds VRWM. |
| Anode | Cathode of internal Zener junction | Connected to reference (e.g., GND or return path); completes clamping current path during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) without derating in compact layout. |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Eliminates need for upstream ESD diodes in human-contact interfaces like automotive buttons or industrial HMI ports. |
| SMA package (Case 403D) | Standardized footprint compatible with automated placement; thermal pad not required but improves power dissipation. |
| Low zener impedance | Ensures stable clamping across temperature and current range-critical for protecting precision analog sensors. |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing surge performance or reliability. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-supplied ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, up to 60 V/100 ms). IC Role / Device Role: Primary clamping element placed between power rail and ground, shunting surge current away from downstream regulators and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤11.2 V during 35.7 A transients, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to 16 V-rated LDOs and CAN transceivers. |
Use Scenario: 24 V DC digital inputs on programmable logic controllers receiving field wiring with inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role: Front-end transient suppressor on each isolated input channel, mounted adjacent to connector. Use Value: Absorbs 400 W surges while maintaining <250 µA leakage at 24 V, preserving input threshold accuracy and reducing false triggering. |
| Medical Equipment Power Supply Input | Telecom Line Card Surge Protection |
Use Scenario: AC/DC adapter secondary-side output (12–24 V) feeding sensitive analog front-ends in diagnostic imaging subsystems. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary-side TVS parallel to bulk capacitor, suppressing switching noise and external coupling transients. Use Value: 1605 pF capacitance avoids resonance with typical 100 µF output caps; sub-1 ns response prevents nanosecond glitches from propagating to ADC references. |
Use Scenario: Ethernet or RS-485 interface cards in base station equipment subjected to lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role: First-stage protection on power and signal pairs, coordinated with gas discharge tubes and series impedance. Use Value: Fast clamping at 11.2 V enables precise coordination with secondary protection, minimizing let-through energy to PHY ICs rated for 13.2 V abs max. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMA6.5AT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs; automotive-grade traceability and PPAP support. | Required for automotive OEM designs; same footprint and soldering profile as 1SMA6.5AT3G. | Select SZ1SMA6.5AT3G when automotive qualification, change control, or site-specific manufacturing is mandated. |
| 1.5SMC6.8A | Higher VRWM (6.8 V), higher VC (10.5 V @ 39.2 A), SMC package (larger, higher thermal mass). | Better suited for high-current, high-temperature environments where 1.5 W steady-state dissipation is needed. | Choose 1.5SMC6.8A when board space allows larger SMC and thermal management requires >1.5 W DC power handling. |
Compared with 1SMA6.5AT3G, SZ1SMA6.5AT3G adds automotive qualification without altering electrical behavior, while 1.5SMC6.8A trades compactness for higher thermal capacity and slightly tighter clamping-making it preferable in high-power industrial drives but less optimal for space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage the 1SMA6.5AT3G can protect?
The 1SMA6.5AT3G has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 6.5 V, meaning it is rated to continuously block up to 6.5 V in reverse bias without significant leakage. It should be selected for circuits where the normal operating voltage does not exceed this value-such as 5 V logic rails or low-voltage sensor interfaces. Exceeding VRWM risks premature conduction and increased power loss.
How does the 1SMA6.5AT3G compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The 1SMA6.5AT3G is unidirectional and protects only against positive transients relative to its cathode. Unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., 1SMA6.5CAT3G), it cannot clamp negative-going surges. This makes it ideal for DC power lines or single-polarity signal paths where polarity is fixed and reverse surges are absent or handled separately.
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMA6.5AT3G under surge conditions?
The 1SMA6.5AT3G clamps to a maximum of 11.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 35.7 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TJ = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during transient events.
Can the 1SMA6.5AT3G be used in automotive applications?
Yes-the 1SMA6.5AT3G meets industrial temperature range (−65°C to +150°C) and is widely used in automotive subsystems. For full AEC-Q101 compliance and PPAP documentation, the pin-compatible SZ1SMA6.5AT3G variant is recommended, sharing identical electrical specs and SMA package dimensions.
What PCB layout considerations apply to the 1SMA6.5AT3G?
For optimal surge performance, route the 1SMA6.5AT3G with minimal trace length between cathode and protected node, and anode to ground plane. Use the ON Semiconductor-recommended footprint for Case 403D (SMA), avoid thermal reliefs on anode pad, and ensure ≥1.5 mm clearance to adjacent high-voltage traces to prevent arcing during clamping.
