Product details
Overview
1SMA8.0AT3G 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 working peak reverse voltage of 8.0 V, clamping voltage of 13.6 V at 29.4 A peak pulse current, and junction capacitance of 1035 pF at 0 V bias - enabling robust ESD and surge protection in automotive power supplies and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA8.0AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, Ipp capability under defined 10/1000 µs waveform, and thermal derating above 75°C ambient.
Technical Context
The 1SMA8.0AT3G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 8.89–9.83 V breakdown range at 1 mA test current. Its low zener impedance and sub-1 ns response time enable fast clamping of ESD (Class 3 >16 kV HBM) and lightning-induced surges.
It is rated for 400 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), with thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient (on FR-4 board) and 50 °C/W junction-to-lead. The device uses a void-free transfer-molded SMA package with cathode polarity band marking and Pb-free construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 8.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must be ≥ circuit's normal DC rail voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 8.89–9.83 V - guaranteed breakdown range; defines onset of avalanche conduction under controlled test conditions. |
| VC @ IPP=29.4 A | 13.6 V - clamped voltage during 400 W transient; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream components. |
| IPP | 29.4 A - peak pulse current supported at 13.6 V clamping; derived from 400 W / 13.6 V calculation per 10/1000 µs waveform. |
| CJ @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 1035 pF - junction capacitance affecting high-frequency signal integrity; relevant for data line protection (e.g., CAN, RS-485). |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - qualifies for direct handling in manufacturing environments without additional ESD mitigation. |
| TJ Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial temperature extremes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (Case 403D), surface-mount, unidirectional, cathode indicated by molded polarity band. Dimensions: 4.06–4.57 mm length × 2.29–2.92 mm width × 1.52 mm max height. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) not specified in source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked side) | Anode of internal Zener junction | Connected to protected line; reverse-biased during transient; conducts surge current to ground when VRWM exceeded. |
| Anode | Cathode of internal Zener junction | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during clamping event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables suppression of high-energy transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Clamping voltage ≤13.6 V at 29.4 A | Protects 12 V-rated ICs (e.g., microcontrollers, CAN transceivers) whose absolute max rating is typically 16–18 V. |
| Response time <1 ns | Fast enough to limit voltage overshoot before sensitive logic or analog circuits experience latch-up or damage. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (SZ-prefix variant) | Validated for automotive use; 1SMA8.0AT3G shares identical electrical specs and package with SZ1SMA8.0AT3G. |
| Flat handling surface | Ensures consistent pick-and-place accuracy during automated SMT assembly, reducing tombstoning risk. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial PLC Input Protection |

| Medical Equipment Power Entry | Telecom DC Power Feeds |
Use Scenario: AC/DC adapter output stage feeding isolated DC-DC converters in patient-connected devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS on +5 V or +3.3 V distribution net to absorb coupling noise from primary-side MOSFET switching. Use Value: Suppresses common-mode transients induced by fast-switching power stages, maintaining low-noise supply for analog front-ends and ADC references. |
Use Scenario: -48 V telecom power feed entering remote radio units, susceptible to lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary protection device on power entry PCB, upstream of DC-DC converter and hot-swap controller. Use Value: Handles 400 W surges while maintaining <10 nA leakage at -48 V, ensuring minimal standby power loss and reliable startup after transient events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMA8.0AT3G | Identical electrical specs and package; AEC-Q101 qualified with PPAP capability; marked with SZ prefix for automotive traceability. | Required for automotive OEM designs requiring certified qualification and change control documentation. | Select 1SMA8.0AT3G for industrial/commercial use; choose SZ1SMA8.0AT3G when automotive compliance is mandatory. |
| SMBJ8.0A | Same VRWM (8.0 V) and VC (13.6 V), but higher 600 W peak power rating and SMB package (larger footprint, 4.58 mm × 3.94 mm vs. SMA's 4.32 mm × 2.60 mm). | Better suited for higher-energy transients where board space allows; less suitable for dense layouts constrained by SMA footprint. | Use SMBJ8.0A when surge energy exceeds 400 W margin or thermal dissipation requires larger pad area; retain 1SMA8.0AT3G for space-constrained 12 V rail protection. |
Compared with SZ1SMA8.0AT3G, the 1SMA8.0AT3G offers identical protection performance without automotive qualification overhead; versus SMBJ8.0A, it trades peak power headroom for smaller PCB area and lower profile - critical for compact power modules and portable medical devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the 1SMA8.0AT3G?
The 1SMA8.0AT3G has a VRWM of 8.0 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state up to this reverse voltage and begins clamping only when transients exceed this threshold. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the ON Semiconductor datasheet, and ensures compatibility with nominal 5 V or 12 V systems where operating voltage must stay below VRWM to avoid leakage or premature conduction.
What clamping voltage does the 1SMA8.0AT3G exhibit during a 400 W transient?
The 1SMA8.0AT3G clamps to 13.6 V at a peak pulse current of 29.4 A, corresponding to the standard 10/1000 µs waveform used for 400 W rating. This VC value is measured under controlled test conditions (TA = 25°C) and defines the maximum voltage seen by downstream components during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with ICs rated for ≤16 V absolute maximum input.
Is the 1SMA8.0AT3G suitable for automotive applications?
The 1SMA8.0AT3G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but its pin-compatible and electrically identical counterpart SZ1SMA8.0AT3G is fully qualified for automotive use. Engineers designing for automotive environments should select SZ1SMA8.0AT3G to meet OEM requirements for PPAP documentation and process control; the 1SMA8.0AT3G remains appropriate for industrial and commercial applications where qualification is not mandated.
How does the junction capacitance of the 1SMA8.0AT3G affect high-speed signal lines?
The 1SMA8.0AT3G exhibits 1035 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, which may load high-speed data lines (e.g., USB, CAN FD) and cause signal distortion or attenuation. For such applications, lower-capacitance TVS devices like the NUP4105MR6T1G (12 pF) are preferred; the 1SMA8.0AT3G is best applied to DC power rails or low-frequency control signals where capacitance impact is negligible.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the 1SMA8.0AT3G above 75°C ambient?
The 1SMA8.0AT3G's DC power dissipation derates linearly above 75°C at 20 mW/°C, dropping from 1.5 W at 75°C to zero at 150°C. This derating curve is defined in the Maximum Ratings table and reflects junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL = 50 °C/W); for sustained operation, designers must ensure board layout provides adequate copper area to maintain TL ≤ 75°C under worst-case power dissipation conditions.
