Product details
Overview
1SMB100AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 100 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 123 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.7 A peak pulse current (VC @ IPP), and sub-1 ns response time. It is used in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs to clamp ESD and lightning-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB100AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, UL 497B certification for isolated loop compliance, and SMB package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
The 1SMB100AT3 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, conducting only during negative transients on the anode side. Its breakdown voltage is specified at 111–123 V (VBR min/max @ IT = 1.0 A), with clamping established at 162 V (VC) under 3.7 A 10/1000 µs pulse.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power per 1 ms waveform, with thermal derating to 0.55 W at TA = 25°C and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 226 °C/W. The device meets Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; must exceed circuit's DC operating voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=1.0 A | 111–123 V - Zener breakdown range; defines turn-on threshold under standardized test current. |
| VC @ IPP=3.7 A | 162 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream components. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak transient power handling capability; validated per non-repetitive 1 ms pulse per Figure 2. |
| IR @ VRWM | 5.0 µA max - Reverse leakage at rated working voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Time from transient onset to conduction; enables protection of fast-edge digital interfaces. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for isolated loop telecom and industrial protection applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads and cathode polarity band. Dimensions: 4.32 mm × 2.13 mm × 2.26 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current sink path | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VRWM. |
| Cathode | Reference/ground connection | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return; polarity band identifies this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands high-energy surges (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) without failure in automotive power inputs. |
| UL 497B certification | Validated for use in safety-critical isolated loop circuits including telecom interface protection. |
| ESD Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) | Provides robust board-level ESD immunity without requiring additional discrete ESD protection. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.46) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping, reducing risk of latch-up or damage to 120 V-tolerant ICs. |
| Pb-free (G suffix) and RoHS compliant | Enables direct use in lead-free reflow processes (260°C/10 s) without reliability degradation. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) CAN Bus Line Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100A | Same VRWM (100 V) and VC (162 V), but lower PPK = 600 W (identical), different thermal RJA (226 vs 240 °C/W). | No UL 497B recognition; lacks isolated-loop certification. | Select 1SMB100AT3 where UL-compliant protection is mandated for telecom or medical secondary-side circuits. |
| 1.5SMC100A | Higher PPK = 1500 W, larger SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm), VRWM = 100 V, VC = 165 V @ 9.1 A. | Requires PCB area increase; suited for higher-energy surges where space permits. | Choose 1.5SMC100A only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W surge handling and layout allows SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ100A, 1SMB100AT3 provides UL 497B certification critical for regulated isolated systems; compared with 1.5SMC100A, it offers identical clamping performance in a 40% smaller SMB footprint-ideal for space-constrained industrial and automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB100AT3 under standard surge conditions?
The 1SMB100AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.7 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet. The 1SMB100AT3 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range and is validated for non-repetitive surge events.
Does the 1SMB100AT3 meet UL safety standards for circuit protection?
Yes, the 1SMB100AT3 carries UL 497B recognition (File #E210057, category QVGQ2) for isolated loop circuit protection. It passed rigorous tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge validation-unlike many generic TVS diodes that only meet flammability requirements. This makes the 1SMB100AT3 suitable for certified medical and telecom applications where regulatory compliance is mandatory.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the 1SMB100AT3 above 25°C ambient temperature?
The 1SMB100AT3 has a thermal resistance of 226 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and a DC power dissipation limit of 0.55 W at TA = 25°C, derating linearly at 4.4 mW/°C above that temperature. At 75°C ambient, its usable DC power drops to 0.33 W. For pulsed operation, Figure 3 in the datasheet shows peak power derating curves-critical for designs with frequent transient exposure in hot environments like engine compartments.
Can the 1SMB100AT3 be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No-the 1SMB100AT3 is strictly unidirectional and conducts only when the anode is driven positive relative to the cathode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB D+/D−), a symmetric device such as the 1SMB100AT3's bidirectional counterpart (e.g., 1SMB100CAT3) is required. Using the 1SMB100AT3 on AC or differential lines risks forward conduction during normal signal swings and potential latch-up or damage.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1SMB100AT3 at its rated VRWM?
The 1SMB100AT3 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5.0 µA at its working peak reverse voltage of 100 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power loss in always-on systems such as battery-backed industrial controllers or medical monitoring devices where standby current budget is tightly constrained.
