Product details
Overview
1SMB10AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 10 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 12.3 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, and clamps to ≤17.0 V at 35.3 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for protecting DC power rails in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB10AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system operating voltage, surge current handling under 1 ms 10/1000 µs waveform, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, and SMB package thermal performance in FR-4 PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMB10AT3 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above its VRWM. Its low zener impedance and <1.0 ns response time enable fast suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges without significant overshoot when mounted with minimal trace inductance.
It is rated for 600 W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform, with thermal derating starting at 75°C junction temperature. The device meets Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM ESD rating and is UL 497B recognized for isolated loop circuit protection - a requirement for telecom and industrial interface ports.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 10 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail voltage. |
| VBR (min) | 12.3 V @ IT = 1.0 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating conditions while avoiding false triggering. |
| VC @ IPP | ≤17.0 V @ 35.3 A - Clamping voltage during 1 ms surge; defines maximum stress on protected downstream ICs. |
| PPK | 600 W @ 1 ms - Peak transient energy absorption capability; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IR @ VRWM | ≤5.0 µA - Low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered circuits. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Enables suppression of fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) before damage occurs. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for use in safety-critical isolated loop protection, including telecom and process control interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads and cathode polarity band. Mounting position is unrestricted; max soldering temperature is 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink during clamping | Connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path; carries full surge current during transient event. |
| Cathode | High-voltage input node | Connected to line being protected (e.g., +12 V rail); polarity band identifies this terminal; reverse-biased under normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Validated for IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity up to 4 kV (line-earth) in properly laid-out PCBs with short traces. |
| UL 497B recognition | Qualified for use in certified isolated loop protectors - required for industrial fieldbus and telecom interface designs. |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air) without external series impedance in many applications. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes voltage overshoot margin needed between protected IC's absolute maximum rating and clamping level. |
| Pb-free (G suffix) option | 1SMB10AT3G variant available; compatible with RoHS-compliant reflow profiles and lead-free assembly processes. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

| Telecom Interface Port Protection | Medical Equipment Power Input |
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on secondary-side DC input, coordinated with upstream fuse and MOV for staged protection. Use Value: Delivers 35.3 A IPP handling and ≤17.0 V clamping to prevent latch-up or gate oxide rupture in precision analog front-end ICs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Same SMB package, identical VRWM (10 V), but lower PPK (600 W same), higher VC (17.0 V vs 17.0 V - matched), tighter VBR tolerance (12.2–13.5 V vs 12.3–15.9 V). | Preferred where tighter VBR distribution is required for consistent clamping threshold across production lots. | Select SMBJ10A if statistical VBR consistency is critical; otherwise 1SMB10AT3 offers broader availability and legacy design support. |
| 1.5SMC10A | Different package (SMC, larger), higher PPK (1500 W), same VRWM (10 V), higher VC (17.0 V), significantly larger footprint and thermal mass. | Suitable only where board space allows SMC and higher surge margin is mandated (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets). | Choose 1.5SMC10A only when 1500 W surge rating is explicitly required; 1SMB10AT3 is optimal for space-constrained 600 W applications. |
Compared with SMBJ10A, 1SMB10AT3 has wider VBR tolerance but identical clamping and surge ratings; compared with 1.5SMC10A, it delivers equivalent protection in 40% less PCB area but with half the peak power headroom - making it ideal for cost- and size-sensitive industrial and automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB10AT3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1SMB10AT3 clamps to a maximum of 17.0 V at its rated peak pulse current of 35.3 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized surge conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 1SMB10AT3 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1SMB10AT3 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used on AC or bidirectional signal lines such as USB D+/D− or RS-485 differential pairs. For those applications, ON Semiconductor offers the 1SMB10CAT3 (bidirectional variant); using 1SMB10AT3 in such roles risks forward conduction during negative half-cycles and failure to suppress negative transients.
Does the 1SMB10AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the entire 1SMB5.0AT3 series - including the 1SMB10AT3 - holds UL 497B recognition under file #E210057 for protector classification (QVGQ2). This certification covers dielectric withstand, strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, and discharge testing - validating its use in safety-critical isolated interfaces like industrial fieldbuses and telecom line cards.
What is the maximum leakage current of the 1SMB10AT3 at its working voltage?
The 1SMB10AT3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5.0 µA when biased at its working peak reverse voltage of 10 V. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and avoids unintended loading of high-impedance sensor bias networks or battery-backed circuits.
Can the 1SMB10AT3 be used in automotive applications subject to ISO 7637-2 transients?
Yes, the 1SMB10AT3 is widely deployed in automotive body control modules and infotainment power supplies to suppress ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a (sudden load interruption), and Pulse 5a (alternator load dump). Its 600 W peak power rating and 35.3 A IPP capability align with Level III/IV surge requirements when combined with proper PCB layout and upstream fusing.
