Product details
Overview
1SMB22AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power TVS diode designed for transient overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 22 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 25.65 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, and clamps to ≤35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPP), with <1.0 ns response time and <5.0 µA leakage above 10 V. It is widely deployed in automotive power supplies and industrial control I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB22AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system operating voltage, surge current handling under 1 ms pulses, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, and SMB package thermal performance in high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMB22AT3 operates as a voltage-clamping transient suppressor in parallel with protected circuitry, leveraging avalanche breakdown to shunt surge energy away from sensitive components. Its low zener impedance and fast <1.0 ns response ensure minimal overshoot during ESD or lightning-induced transients.
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 stable clamping across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 40°C/W, enabling reliable operation on FR-4 boards with minimum recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail voltage. |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 24.4 / 25.65 / 26.9 V @ 1.0 mA - Ensures predictable turn-on threshold with tight tolerance for consistent protection level. |
| VC @ IPP | ≤35.5 V @ 16.9 A - Clamping voltage under full 600 W surge; defines maximum stress seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPK | 600 W @ 1 ms - Peak transient energy absorption capability; validated per 10/1000 µs waveform standard. |
| IR @ VRWM | ≤5.0 µA - Low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Enables suppression of nanosecond-scale ESD events before damage occurs to CMOS inputs. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - Meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements for automotive and industrial environments. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for isolated loop circuit protection, including strike voltage, endurance, and dielectric withstand tests. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A | Same SMB package, identical VRWM (22 V) and VC (35.5 V), but rated for 600 W with tighter VBR tolerance (24.4–26.9 V vs. 24.4–26.9 V); no UL 497B listing. | Lacks UL 497B certification; unsuitable for medical isolated loop or telecom safety-critical designs requiring recognized protector status. | Select SMBJ22A only when UL recognition is not required and cost optimization is prioritized over regulatory compliance. |
| 1.5SMC22A | Higher 1500 W peak power rating, same VRWM and VBR range, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. SMB's 4.32 × 2.62 mm). | Requires more PCB area and has higher parasitic inductance; less effective for ultrafast ESD where layout inductance dominates overshoot. | Choose 1.5SMC22A only when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W requirements and board space permits larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ22A and 1.5SMC22A, the 1SMB22AT3 uniquely combines UL 497B recognition, SMB-size compactness, and verified 600 W surge capability-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, safety-certified industrial and automotive applications where regulatory validation is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB22AT3 under maximum surge conditions?
The 1SMB22AT3 clamps to a maximum of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 16.9 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The 1SMB22AT3 achieves this with low dynamic impedance, ensuring consistent clamping performance even under repeated surges.
Does the 1SMB22AT3 have UL 497B certification, and what does that mean for my design?
Yes, the 1SMB22AT3 carries UL 497B recognition under file QVGQ2, validating its use in isolated loop circuit protection. This certification confirms successful completion of strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge testing-critical for medical, telecom, and industrial systems requiring certified surge protection. The 1SMB22AT3 is among the few SMB-sized TVS diodes with this specific listing.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the 1SMB22AT3?
The 1SMB22AT3 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) of 40°C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RJA) of 226°C/W on standard FR-4. Its DC power dissipation derates linearly above 75°C ambient: 3.0 W at 75°C, decreasing by 25 mW/°C. For reliable long-term operation, maintain PCB copper area per ON Semiconductor's Case 403A footprint recommendation to sustain thermal performance.
How does the 1SMB22AT3 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection applications?
The 1SMB22AT3 is unidirectional and optimized for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., 24 V supply lines), offering lower leakage (<5.0 µA) and tighter VBR tolerance than equivalent bidirectional parts. Bidirectional variants like 1SMB22CAT3 are needed only for AC or floating signal lines subject to voltage reversals; using them on DC rails adds unnecessary leakage and reduces clamping margin. The 1SMB22AT3 delivers superior performance in polarity-defined applications.
Is the 1SMB22AT3 suitable for automotive load dump protection per ISO 7637-2?
Yes, the 1SMB22AT3 is routinely deployed for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) suppression in 24 V automotive systems. With its 600 W peak power rating, 35.5 V clamping voltage, and ability to handle 100 A forward surge current (8.3 ms), it meets the energy absorption and voltage limiting requirements for protecting downstream regulators and microcontrollers. Layout best practices-short traces, direct grounding-must be followed to minimize inductive overshoot.
