Product details
Overview
1SMA9.0AT3G 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 9.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 15.4 V clamping voltage at 26.0 A peak pulse current, and <1 ns response time. It is used in automotive power supply protection, industrial I/O interface surge hardening, and medical equipment input stage safeguarding.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA9.0AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin vs. operating voltage, clamping voltage headroom relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and thermal derating behavior at elevated ambient temperatures.
Technical Context
The 1SMA9.0AT3G operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 10.0–11.1 V breakdown range at 1 mA test current. Its low zener impedance and fast <1 ns response enable effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients before downstream components experience overstress.
It is rated for 400 W 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 meets Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) and is Pb-free, AEC-Q101 qualified in the SURMETIC® SMA package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 9.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed circuit's normal DC or peak AC voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 10.0–11.1 V - Breakdown voltage tolerance band; defines minimum and maximum turn-on threshold under standardized test conditions. |
| VC @ IPP=26.0 A | 15.4 V - Clamping voltage during 400 W transient; determines maximum stress imposed on protected load during surge event. |
| IPP | 26.0 A - Peak pulse current at 400 W, 10/1000 µs waveform; quantifies surge energy handling capacity before failure. |
| C Typ. @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 1200 pF - Junction capacitance at zero bias; impacts high-frequency signal integrity in data line protection applications. |
| IR @ VRWM | 2.5 µA - Reverse leakage at rated working voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal distortion in high-impedance circuits. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Time from transient onset to clamping activation; critical for protecting fast logic and communication interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
The 1SMA9.0AT3G is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package per CASE 403D, featuring a flat handling surface, low profile, and polarity band indicating the cathode terminal. Mounting position is unrestricted; soldering temperature limit is 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked by band) | Transient clamp output node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage events. |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or lowest potential rail; completes current path during clamping operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMA9.0AT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, identical electrical specs and package; includes SZ prefix for automotive traceability. | Required for automotive OEM designs needing certified change control and lot-level documentation. | Select SZ1SMA9.0AT3G when automotive qualification, PPAP submission, or site-specific manufacturing control is mandatory. |
| 1.5SMC9.0A | Same VRWM (9.0 V) and VC (15.4 V), but higher 1500 W peak power rating and larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 × 6.22 mm). | Suitable where higher surge margin is needed and PCB area allows larger footprint; not drop-in due to different pad layout. | Choose 1.5SMC9.0A only if 1500 W surge rating is required and mechanical redesign is acceptable. |
Compared with 1SMA9.0AT3G, SZ1SMA9.0AT3G offers identical protection performance with added automotive compliance overhead, while 1.5SMC9.0A trades compactness for higher surge capacity-making 1SMA9.0AT3G optimal for space-constrained industrial and medical designs requiring proven 400 W robustness.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMA9.0AT3G and how is it measured?
The 1SMA9.0AT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.4 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 26.0 A using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform. This value represents the highest voltage the device allows across its terminals during a 400 W transient event, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The 1SMA9.0AT3G achieves this clamping performance consistently across its specified temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is the 1SMA9.0AT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1SMA9.0AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional signal line protection. It conducts only during negative transients on the cathode side and blocks positive voltage beyond its forward voltage (~3.5 V). For bidirectional applications such as RS-485 or USB data lines, a dedicated bidirectional TVS like the 1SMA9.0AT3 (non-G suffix) or SMAJ9.0A must be selected. The 1SMA9.0AT3G is intended for DC power rail or single-polarity signal protection.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1SMA9.0AT3G and why does it matter?
The 1SMA9.0AT3G exhibits a typical junction capacitance (C) of 1200 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, as measured per the datasheet. This parameter directly affects high-frequency signal integrity: in data line protection, excessive capacitance can attenuate edges or cause timing skew. At 1200 pF, the 1SMA9.0AT3G is appropriate for lower-speed interfaces (e.g., CAN, RS-232) but generally unsuitable for USB 2.0 or HDMI without additional filtering.
How does thermal derating affect the 1SMA9.0AT3G's surge capability at elevated temperatures?
The 1SMA9.0AT3G's peak pulse power remains 400 W up to 25°C ambient, but derates linearly above that point per Figure 3 in the datasheet. At 75°C, its usable peak power drops to ~250 W; at 125°C, it falls to ~120 W. This occurs because junction temperature rise during surge reduces avalanche stability. To maintain full 400 W capability, ensure board layout provides adequate copper pour and airflow, or select a higher-rated device like the 1.5SMC9.0A for high-temperature environments.
Can the 1SMA9.0AT3G replace the 1N6267A in existing designs?
The 1SMA9.0AT3G is not a direct replacement for the through-hole 1N6267A due to differences in package (SMA vs. DO-41), thermal resistance (250 °C/W vs. ~100 °C/W), and mounting method. While both share similar VRWM (9.0 V) and VC (15.4 V), the 1SMA9.0AT3G's surface-mount form factor requires PCB redesign. Its lower thermal mass also demands careful attention to layout copper and surge repetition rate. Use 1SMA9.0AT3G only in new SMT designs or after validating thermal and mechanical performance in the target application.
