Product details
Overview
1SMB43AT3G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 43 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 52.8 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 69.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.6 A peak pulse current (IPP), and <1.0 ns response time - deployed in industrial power supplies, automotive ECUs, and medical equipment input stages.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB43AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 8.3 ms surge, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, low leakage (<5 µA @ 43 V), and SMB package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMB43AT3G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above its VRWM of 43 V. Its design targets single-pulse 8.3 ms surges per IEC 61000-4-5, with guaranteed clamping at ≤69.4 V up to 8.6 A IPP while maintaining <5 µA leakage at rated VRWM.
It uses ON Semiconductor's SURMETIC™ SMB (Case 403A) package with modified L-bend leads, rated for 260°C soldering (10 s), and meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements when ordered as SZ1SMB43AT3G. Thermal resistance is 226°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-4 board with minimum footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 43 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system bus voltage rating. |
| VBR (min) | 50.3 V @ 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold; ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating voltage. |
| VC (max) | 69.4 V @ 8.6 A - Peak clamped voltage during 8.3 ms surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected ICs. |
| IPP | 8.6 A - Maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current it can safely shunt without degradation. |
| Leakage (IR) | <5.0 µA @ 43 V - Negligible standby power loss and minimal loading on sensitive reference or bias networks. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Enables suppression of fast ESD and lightning-induced edges before downstream components react. |
| Junction Capacitance | 400 pF @ 0 V - Low enough for <10 MHz signal integrity preservation; suitable for DC/low-speed data lines. |
Pinout & Package
1SMB43AT3G is housed in an SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by a polarity band. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode, with no internal circuitry or active control logic.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction; connected to lower-potential side of protected line. | Used only during fault conditions in reverse-biased protection configuration; not intended for sustained forward operation. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during reverse avalanche clamping; connected to higher-potential side (e.g., VBUS). | Marked with band; must be routed to rail being protected; determines orientation during PCB placement and layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Rated for single 10/1000 µs surge events up to 600 W - sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) testing. |
| UL 497B recognition | Qualified for isolated loop circuit protection per Underwriters Laboratories File #E210057 - enables use in telecom and industrial safety-critical interfaces. |
| ESD robustness | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - withstands handling and assembly ESD without parameter shift or failure. |
| Pb-free SURMETIC™ package | RoHS-compliant SMB case with corrosion-resistant finish and solderable leads - supports lead-free reflow (260°C/10 s). |
| AEC-Q101 capability | Available as SZ1SMB43AT3G variant - qualified for automotive underhood and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) CAN Bus Line Protection |
|---|---|
|

Use Scenario: Protects 24 V DC digital input channels in modular PLC backplanes from field-wiring induced surges and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted directly at terminal block entry point, with cathode tied to 24 V rail and anode to input pin. Use Value: 600 W surge rating handles repetitive 100 A/10 ms transients typical in factory floor environments without derating or thermal shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ43A | Same VRWM (43 V) and VC (69.4 V), but 400 W peak power (vs. 600 W); SMA package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance). | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3+ or automotive load dump. | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal margin on FR-4. |
| SMCJ43A | Same VRWM and VC, but 1500 W peak power; larger SMC package (Case 403D), higher mounting height and thermal mass. | Overqualified for 600 W needs; adds cost and area where 1SMB43AT3G suffices. | Choose only if future-proofing against higher surge classes or extended lifetime under repeated stress is required. |
Compared with SMAJ43A and SMCJ43A, the 1SMB43AT3G delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capacity, SMB footprint compatibility, and UL 497B certification - making it the preferred choice for industrial and automotive applications requiring certified, mid-power transient suppression without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB43AT3G under standard surge conditions?
The 1SMB43AT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 69.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 8.6 A, measured using the 8.3 ms half-sine waveform defined in IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet. It defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Is the 1SMB43AT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1SMB43AT3G is strictly unidirectional and must be used with correct polarity - cathode to the higher-potential rail, anode to ground or lower potential. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB D+/D−), ON Semiconductor offers the complementary 1SMB43CAT3G (bidirectional variant). Using 1SMB43AT3G on AC or differential lines risks forward conduction and failure during negative excursions.
Does the 1SMB43AT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base 1SMB43AT3G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZ1SMB43AT3G is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. Both share identical electrical specs and SMB packaging, but only the SZ-prefix version undergoes additional stress testing (temperature cycling, humidity bias, etc.) required for under-hood and chassis applications. Always specify SZ1SMB43AT3G for automotive designs.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1SMB43AT3G on a standard PCB?
The 1SMB43AT3G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 226°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint (per Case 403A outline). This value assumes zero copper area beyond the pad; adding thermal relief or copper pour reduces RJA significantly. At 75°C ambient, its DC power dissipation derates to 0.55 W - critical for continuous leakage or low-duty-cycle surge scenarios.
How does the 1SMB43AT3G compare to the 1N6267A in terms of surge capability?
The 1SMB43AT3G provides 600 W peak pulse power in an SMB package, whereas the legacy 1N6267A (DO-201AD) delivers only 500 W in a larger through-hole package. The 1SMB43AT3G also offers lower clamping voltage (69.4 V vs. ~72 V), faster response (<1 ns vs. ~1.5 ns), and UL 497B recognition - making it superior for modern high-density, safety-certified designs. The 1N6267A lacks Pb-free compliance and AEC-Q101 variants.
