Product details
Overview
1SMA70AT3G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed to protect sensitive electronics from high-energy transients. It features a 70 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 77.8–86.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 A, 113 V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5 A peak pulse current, and <1 ns response time - deployed in automotive power rails and industrial DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA70AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating 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.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates in avalanche breakdown mode to clamp overvoltage events. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased protection only, with forward conduction limited to standard silicon diode behavior (VF ≤ 3.5 V @ 30 A).
It is rated for 400 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), exhibits 190 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias, and maintains stable clamping up to +150°C junction temperature - enabling use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives where thermal cycling and ESD robustness are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 70 V - must be ≥ continuous DC operating voltage of protected circuit to avoid leakage-induced power loss |
| VBR @ IT=1 A | 77.8–86.0 V - defines minimum and maximum avalanche onset threshold across production lot |
| VC @ IPP=3.5 A | 113 V - maximum voltage seen by downstream IC during 10/1000 µs transient; determines required IC overvoltage margin |
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W @ 1 ms - supports high-energy surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV, 2 Ω source) |
| Junction Capacitance | 190 pF @ 0 V - impacts signal integrity in data lines; unsuitable for >10 Mbps high-speed interfaces |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level ESD immunity |
Pinout & Package
The 1SMA70AT3G is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D), featuring a low-profile, flat handling surface optimized for automated placement. Cathode is marked by a molded polarity band; mounting position is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when reverse voltage exceeds VRWM |
| Anode | Reference / return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping loop during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events without derating at TL = 25°C |
| <1 ns response time | Clamps transients before sensitive logic or analog circuits experience damaging overvoltage |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (SZ variant) | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control units and body electronics |
| Pb-free SURMETIC® package | RoHS-compliant molding compound with corrosion-resistant leads and 260°C solderability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMA70AT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs; SZ prefix denotes automotive-specific traceability and PPAP support | Required for automotive OEM designs needing PPAP documentation and change control | Select SZ1SMA70AT3G when automotive qualification and manufacturing site control are mandatory |
| 1.5SMC70A | Same VRWM/VBR/VC; higher 1500 W peak power; larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 2.5× footprint area | Better suited for high-surge industrial systems where board space allows larger package | Choose 1.5SMC70A when surge energy exceeds 400 W and thermal mass from larger case improves reliability |
Compared with 1SMA70AT3G, SZ1SMA70AT3G adds automotive qualification without electrical trade-offs, while 1.5SMC70A trades compact SMA size for higher surge capacity - making the original optimal for space-constrained 70 V protection where 400 W suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMA70AT3G under standard test conditions?
The 1SMA70AT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge waveform with a peak pulse current (IPP) of 3.5 A. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The 1SMA70AT3G maintains this clamping performance consistently across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the 1SMA70AT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1SMA70AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode and provides protection only against reverse-polarity transients. It conducts in forward bias like a standard silicon diode (VF ≤ 3.5 V @ 30 A) but does not suppress positive-going transients on AC or differential lines. For bidirectional protection, ON Semiconductor offers the 1SMA70CAT3G variant - the 1SMA70AT3G is strictly for DC rail clamping where polarity is fixed.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of the 1SMA70AT3G on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The 1SMA70AT3G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 250°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint. This value assumes no thermal vias or copper pour enhancements. Derating begins above 25°C ambient, with maximum DC power dissipation dropping from 0.5 W at 25°C to zero at 125°C - a key constraint for sustained surge duty cycles.
Does the 1SMA70AT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base 1SMA70AT3G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZ1SMA70AT3G shares identical electrical specifications and adds AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and enhanced traceability. If automotive deployment is required, engineers must specify the SZ-prefix part - the 1SMA70AT3G itself is intended for industrial and commercial applications where full automotive certification is not mandated.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the 1SMA70AT3G and how does it affect high-frequency circuits?
The 1SMA70AT3G exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 190 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. This relatively high capacitance makes it unsuitable for protecting high-speed digital lines (e.g., USB 2.0, HDMI, or Ethernet) where sub-5 pF loading is required. It is appropriate for DC power rails and low-frequency analog signals where bandwidth impact is negligible - always verify signal integrity in-circuit when using the 1SMA70AT3G near sensitive RF or timing paths.
