Product details
Overview
1SMB24AT3 from onsemi is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 24 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 29.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time. It is used in power supply input stages, automotive ECUs, and industrial I/O interfaces to absorb ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB24AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin vs. system DC rail, VC headroom relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, and SMB package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
The 1SMB24AT3 operates as a Zener-based avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 26.7–29.5 V breakdown range (VBR @ IT = 1 mA). Its low zener impedance and fast junction response enable effective suppression of 8/20 µs and 10/1000 µs transients without significant overshoot-provided layout minimizes trace inductance.
It is rated for 600 W non-repetitive peak power (1 ms pulse), with thermal derating to 0.55 W at TA = 25°C and 3.0 W at TL = 75°C. The device meets Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection, confirming suitability for telecom and industrial safety-critical interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail by ≥10% to avoid leakage-induced heating. |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 26.7 / 28.1 / 29.5 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPP | 38.9 V @ 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream components. |
| PPK | 600 W @ 1 ms - Peak surge energy handling capacity; validated per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance testing. |
| IR @ VRWM | 5.0 µA max - Low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks and battery-backed circuits. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Junction-limited switching speed; enables protection of high-speed interfaces without signal distortion. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for use in primary-side isolated loop protectors, including telecom and process control systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads. Cathode indicated by polarity band. Mounting position unrestricted; compatible with standard reflow profiles (260°C/10 s max).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink during clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); carries full surge current to ground path. |
| Cathode | Clamp reference node | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return; defines clamping threshold relative to GND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Same SMB package, identical VRWM (24 V) and VC (38.9 V), but rated for 600 W per JEDEC JESD22-A114 (vs. onsemi's proprietary test method). | No UL 497B recognition; limited to non-safety-critical industrial use where agency certification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs UL certification needs and design uses JEDEC-aligned test standards. |
| 1.5SMC24A | Larger SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 mm vs. SMB's 4.6 × 3.6 mm); same 24 V VRWM but higher thermal mass allows 10% higher average power dissipation. | Better suited for high-duty-cycle surge environments (e.g., motor drive controls) where SMB thermal limits may be exceeded. | Select when PCB space permits larger footprint and application requires sustained surge handling beyond 1×/minute repetition rate. |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5SMC24A, the 1SMB24AT3 uniquely combines UL 497B certification, SMB-size board area efficiency, and verified 600 W surge capability-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-certified industrial and telecom power rails.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB24AT3 under maximum surge conditions?
The 1SMB24AT3 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 15.4 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured at TJ = 25°C and represents the worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a full-power transient event. Designers must ensure all protected components have absolute maximum ratings exceeding 38.9 V to prevent damage.
Does the 1SMB24AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the 1SMB24AT3 carries UL 497B recognition under file #E210057 in the QVGQ2 category for protectors. This certification validates its performance in isolated loop applications-including dielectric withstand, strike voltage breakdown, and endurance conditioning tests-making it suitable for telecom and industrial isolation barriers without requiring additional system-level safety retesting.
How does the 1SMB24AT3 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like the 1SMB24AT3-BI?
The 1SMB24AT3 is unidirectional and optimized for DC-biased lines (e.g., +24 V power rails), providing low leakage (<5 µA) and precise clamping only in reverse bias. Bidirectional variants (e.g., 1SMB24AT3-BI) clamp symmetrically for AC-coupled signals like data lines but exhibit higher leakage and reduced DC blocking capability-making the 1SMB24AT3 the correct choice for power rail protection.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the 1SMB24AT3?
The 1SMB24AT3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 226°C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RJL) of 40°C/W. Its DC power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C (0.55 W at TA = 25°C → 0 W at ~150°C) and above 75°C for lead-temperature-limited operation (3.0 W at TL = 75°C → 0 W at ~150°C). These values assume ON Semiconductor's recommended minimum footprint on FR-4 board.
Can the 1SMB24AT3 replace older SMA-package TVS diodes in existing designs?
No-the 1SMB24AT3 uses the SMB package (4.6 × 3.6 mm), which is physically larger than SMA (4.3 × 2.6 mm) and incompatible with SMA footprints. While both packages share similar mounting orientation, the 1SMB24AT3 requires PCB pad revision due to increased body width and lead spacing. Migration requires layout update and thermal validation, though electrical characteristics remain functionally equivalent.
