Product details
Overview
1SMB48AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMB package, designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 48 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 58.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and clamps to ≤77.4 V at 7.7 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for DC power rail protection in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB48AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. system operating voltage, surge current capability under 1 ms 10/1000 µs waveform, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, and Pb-free SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 1SMB48AT3 operates as a voltage-clamping device in reverse-biased configuration, triggering when transient voltage exceeds its VBR and limiting downstream voltage to VC during high-energy surges. Its low zener impedance and <1.0 ns response time enable fast suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients.
It is rated for 600 W non-repetitive peak power at TL = 25°C with 1 ms pulse width, derates linearly above 75°C junction temperature, and maintains <5.0 µA leakage at VRWM. The device meets Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM ESD rating and UL 497B certification for isolated loop circuit protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 48 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must be ≥ system DC bus voltage. |
| VBR (min) | 58.9 V @ 1 mA - Guaranteed minimum breakdown threshold; ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating range. |
| VC @ IPP | 77.4 V @ 7.7 A - Clamped voltage during 1 ms 10/1000 µs surge; defines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak transient energy absorption capacity; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surges. |
| IR @ VRWM | 5.0 µA - Reverse leakage at rated working voltage; negligible power loss in standby operation. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Enables suppression of fast-rising ESD events before downstream components experience overstress. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for use in isolated telecom/data line protectors; supports safety-compliant system design. |
Pinout & Package
1SMB48AT3 uses the SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package with modified L-bend leads. Cathode is marked by a polarity band; anode is unmarked. Mounting position is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node in clamping configuration; forms return path for surge current. |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); voltage rise above VBR triggers avalanche conduction to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave surges up to 4 A (line-to-ground) without failure. |
| UL 497B recognition | Validates compliance for telecom/data line isolation barriers, eliminating need for additional safety certification effort. |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Withstands direct human-body model ESD events common in handling and field deployment without parametric shift. |
| Pb-free SMB package | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile; compatible with lead-free soldering at 260°C/10 s. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between breakdown and clamp, enabling tighter protection windows for 48 V systems. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
|

Use Value: Maintains <5 µA reverse leakage to avoid offset drift in µV-level sensor circuits while providing fail-safe surge shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ48A | Same VRWM (48 V), but lower PPK (600 W same), higher VC (80.0 V @ 7.5 A), larger SMBJ package (Case 403AC). | Higher clamping voltage reduces protection margin for 48 V systems near 75 V absolute max ratings. | Select 1SMB48AT3 when tighter VC/VBR ratio and smaller SMB footprint are required for dense PCB layouts. |
| SMCJ48A | Same VRWM (48 V), higher PPK (1500 W), higher VC (79.4 V @ 18.9 A), larger SMC package (Case 403D). | Over-specified power rating increases cost and board area; not needed for standard 600 W surge requirements. | Choose 1SMB48AT3 for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 48 V protection where 600 W is sufficient and SMB fit is mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ48A and SMCJ48A, the 1SMB48AT3 offers optimal balance of clamping performance (77.4 V), compact SMB footprint, and UL 497B certification-making it preferred for 48 V industrial and automotive power interfaces where layout density and safety compliance are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB48AT3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1SMB48AT3 clamps to a maximum of 77.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 7.7 A under the standard 1 ms 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The 1SMB48AT3 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated for non-repetitive surge conditions.
Is the 1SMB48AT3 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1SMB48AT3G explicitly denotes a Pb-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The 1SMB48AT3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, and its Surmetic molding compound meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. All external surfaces are corrosion-resistant and readily solderable.
Does the 1SMB48AT3 have UL recognition, and for what standard?
Yes, the 1SMB48AT3 carries UL 497B recognition under file #E210057, specifically for isolated loop circuit protection (category QVGQ2). This certification covers performance validation across multiple tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge testing-confirming suitability for safety-critical telecom and industrial isolation barriers.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the 1SMB48AT3 at its working voltage?
The 1SMB48AT3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5.0 µA when biased at its working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 48 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and avoids interference with precision analog circuits or high-impedance monitoring nodes downstream of the protected rail.
How does the thermal derating of the 1SMB48AT3 work above 75°C?
The 1SMB48AT3's DC power dissipation (PD) is rated at 3.0 W at TL = 75°C and derates linearly at 25 mW/°C above that temperature. For example, at 100°C lead temperature, PD drops to 2.375 W. This derating applies to continuous power handling-not peak surge capability-and is based on FR-4 board mounting with 1 in² copper pad per datasheet Note 2.
