Product details
Overview
1SMB26AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 26 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 31.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 42.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 14.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - deployed in power supply input stages, automotive ECUs, and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB26AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 1 ms 600 W surges, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, low leakage (<5 µA above 10 V), and SMB package compatibility with high-density SMT layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMB26AT3 operates as a Zener-based unidirectional TVS, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients while maintaining low dynamic impedance. Its design targets single-pulse surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 (10/1000 µs waveform), with thermal derating defined up to 150°C junction temperature and validated clamping behavior across −65°C to +150°C operating range.
It delivers 42.1 V clamping at 14.2 A IPP with 630 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V bias, enabling effective suppression of fast-rising ESD and lightning-induced transients without compromising signal integrity in DC-biased lines. The device meets Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) and is UL 497B recognized for isolated loop circuit protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W @ 1 ms - sustains single high-energy surges without failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 26 V - sets maximum continuous DC or peak AC operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 30.4–31.9 V @ 1 mA - defines onset of avalanche conduction under controlled test conditions |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 42.1 V @ 14.2 A IPP - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <5.0 µA @ 26 V - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal loading in active circuits |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - enables suppression of nanosecond-scale ESD transients before downstream damage occurs |
| Junction Capacitance | 630 pF @ 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal line bandwidth in AC-coupled paths |
Pinout & Package
1SMB26AT3 is housed in the SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package: void-free thermosetting body, cathode indicated by polarity band, modified L-bend leads for enhanced pad adhesion, and rated for 260°C soldering (10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction or surge clamping | Connected to system ground or low-side reference in unidirectional protection configuration |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., VIN, signal rail); polarity band identifies this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognition | Validated for isolated loop circuit protection - satisfies safety compliance in telecom and industrial interfaces |
| ESD Robustness | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - withstands human-body model discharges without parameter shift or failure |
| Surmetic® Packaging | ON Semiconductor's proprietary transfer-molded plastic - ensures void-free encapsulation and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.38 - tight voltage margin between breakdown and clamping improves protection headroom |
| Pb-Free Option | G-suffix variant available - complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without performance trade-offs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ26A | Same VRWM (26 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPK = 600 W and VC = 42.1 V - matches 1SMB26AT3 spec-for-spec per datasheet | No functional difference; validated for same IEC 61000-4-5 and ISO 7637-2 use cases | Select when sourcing from manufacturers offering dual-source availability without layout change |
| 1.5SMC26A | Higher PPK = 1500 W, larger SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm vs. SMB's 4.6 mm × 3.95 mm), same VRWM/VC specs | Requires PCB footprint revision; suited for higher-energy environments where 600 W margin is insufficient | Choose only if surge threat level exceeds 600 W or thermal dissipation demands larger case size |
Compared with SMBJ26A and 1.5SMC26A, the 1SMB26AT3 offers identical electrical protection performance in the smallest standardized SMB footprint, enabling compact designs without sacrificing UL 497B recognition or HBM ESD robustness - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB26AT3 under surge conditions?
The 1SMB26AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 42.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 14.2 A with a 1 ms pulse width. This value is measured per the standard 10/1000 µs waveform and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 1SMB26AT3 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Does the 1SMB26AT3 meet UL safety standards for circuit protection?
Yes, the 1SMB26AT3 is UL 497B recognized (File #E210057) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification confirms successful completion of multiple tests including Strike Voltage Breakdown, Endurance Conditioning, Dielectric Withstand, and Discharge testing - distinguishing it from components with only flammability-rated packaging. The 1SMB26AT3's UL recognition supports compliance in telecom, industrial control, and medical equipment where regulatory approval is mandatory.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1SMB26AT3 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The 1SMB26AT3 exhibits 630 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. While this value is appropriate for DC power rails and low-to-medium speed interfaces (e.g., LIN, RS-485), it may attenuate or distort signals above ~1 MHz. For high-speed data lines like USB or Ethernet, lower-capacitance TVS devices (e.g., <100 pF) are recommended. The 1SMB26AT3's capacitance is a direct trade-off for its 600 W surge capability and should be evaluated against signal bandwidth requirements in the final design.
Can the 1SMB26AT3 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the 1SMB26AT3 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used for bidirectional surge suppression. Its internal Zener structure conducts only in reverse bias above VRWM and forward-biases like a standard diode below ~0.7 V - offering no clamping in the negative voltage direction. For AC or bipolar signal lines, dedicated bidirectional variants such as 1SMB26CAT3 must be selected. Using the 1SMB26AT3 in bidirectional roles risks unprotected negative transients damaging downstream circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the 1SMB26AT3?
The 1SMB26AT3 has a thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) of 226°C/W on FR-4 board with minimum recommended footprint, and junction-to-lead (RJL) of 40°C/W. Its DC power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C ambient (0.44 mW/°C) and above 75°C lead temperature (25 mW/°C). These values define safe continuous power handling - for example, at 75°C ambient, usable DC power drops to 0.33 W. The 1SMB26AT3 is intended for transient, not steady-state, power dissipation.
