Product details
Overview
1SMB14AT3 from onsemi is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB package, designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 14 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 17.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 25.8 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - ideal for safeguarding DC power rails and I/O lines in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB14AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC < IC absolute maximum rating, IPP capability under defined surge waveform (10/1000 µs), UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, and Pb-free SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 1SMB14AT3 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only during positive transients relative to cathode polarity. Its Zener-based breakdown mechanism provides precise voltage clamping with low dynamic impedance, enabling fast energy diversion away from protected circuitry without latch-up or degradation under single-pulse stress.
It is rated for 600 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports 100 A forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains ≤5.0 µA leakage above 10 V at 25°C - ensuring minimal standby power impact while delivering robust ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) and reliable operation from −65°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W @ 1.0 ms (10/1000 µs waveform); defines maximum transient energy absorption before failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 14 V; maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 23.2 V @ IPP = 25.8 A; maximum voltage seen by protected load during specified surge event |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 15.6–17.2 V @ IT = 1.0 mA; ensures predictable turn-on threshold with tight tolerance band |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤5.0 µA @ VRWM = 14 V; guarantees negligible standby current draw in high-impedance circuits |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns; enables suppression before transient propagates into downstream ICs |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model; meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads; cathode indicated by polarity band; RoHS-compliant and Pb-free (G suffix).

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognition | Qualified for isolated loop circuit protection - validated for strike voltage, endurance, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance |
| Low Clamping Ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.48 (23.2 V / 15.6 V); minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream components during surge events |
| Thermal Robustness | RJA = 226 °C/W (FR-4 board); supports stable operation up to +150°C junction temperature with proper PCB layout |
| High Surge Capability | 25.8 A IPP at 14 V VRWM; handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-earth) with margin |
| Pb-Free & Solderable Leads | Compatible with standard reflow profiles (260°C for 10 s); corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term solder joint reliability |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ14A | Same VRWM (14 V), slightly higher VC (23.8 V @ 25.1 A), identical SMB package and UL 497B recognition | Identical use cases; minor derating needed for margin-critical 24 V systems | Select SMBJ14A if sourcing from alternate distributor with better lead time; same PCB footprint and electrical behavior |
| 1.5SMC14A | Higher peak power (1500 W), larger SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 mm vs. SMB's 4.6 × 3.6 mm), same VRWM/VC specs | Preferred where higher surge margin is required and board space allows larger footprint | Choose 1.5SMC14A for mission-critical 12 V automotive modules needing >1500 W surge rating |
Compared with 1SMB14AT3, SMBJ14A offers near-identical protection performance in the same compact SMB form factor, while 1.5SMC14A trades size for significantly higher surge capacity - making it suitable for environments with repeated high-energy transients where thermal recovery and mechanical robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB14AT3 under surge conditions?
The 1SMB14AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 25.8 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the highest voltage that will appear across the protected circuit during a standardized surge event - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 1SMB14AT3 achieves this with low dynamic impedance and sub-1 ns response.
Is the 1SMB14AT3 RoHS-compliant and suitable for lead-free reflow?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1SMB14AT3 indicates a Pb-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It supports standard lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds, and all external surfaces are corrosion-resistant and readily solderable. The 1SMB14AT3 uses ON Semiconductor's Surmetic molding compound and modified L-bend leads optimized for high-yield SMT assembly without tombstoning or wetting issues.
Does the 1SMB14AT3 meet UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the entire 1SMB5.0AT3 series - including the 1SMB14AT3 - holds UL 497B recognition (File #E210057, Category QVGQ2) for protectors used in isolated loop circuits. This certification validates performance across multiple tests: strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, temperature cycling, dielectric voltage-withstand, and discharge testing - exceeding basic flammability-only approvals offered by some competitors.
What is the leakage current specification for the 1SMB14AT3 at its working voltage?
The 1SMB14AT3 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5.0 µA when biased at its working peak reverse voltage of 14 V and measured at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems such as battery-backed sensors or standby power rails, and supports high-impedance monitoring circuits without introducing measurement error or premature discharge.
Can the 1SMB14AT3 be used in bidirectional transient protection applications?
No, the 1SMB14AT3 is a unidirectional TVS diode and conducts only during positive transients relative to its cathode terminal. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a dedicated bidirectional part such as 1SMB14CAT3 must be used. Using the 1SMB14AT3 in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent breakdown or failure, as it lacks symmetrical avalanche characteristics in both polarities.
