Product details
Overview
1SMB58CAT3 from ON Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 58 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 71.18 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.4 A peak pulse current, <1 ns response time, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection - deployed in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB58CAT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 waveforms, and SMB package thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling clamp-based protection without polarity sensitivity. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond turn-on with low dynamic impedance, ensuring rapid voltage limiting during fast transients like ESD or inductive switching spikes.
Clamping behavior is defined by the relationship between peak pulse current (IPP = 6.4 A) and clamping voltage (VC = 71.18 V), validated per 10/1000 µs waveform. Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (RJL = 40 °C/W) and derating above 75°C, with maximum case temperature rated at 260°C for 10 seconds during soldering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Power | 600 W @ 1 ms pulse - sustains single high-energy surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without failure |
| VRWM | 58 V - sets minimum system operating voltage threshold; must be ≥ continuous DC rail voltage |
| VBR (min) | 67.79 V @ 1 mA - guarantees avalanche conduction onset above normal operating range |
| VC @ IPP | 71.18 V @ 6.4 A - defines worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during full-rated surge |
| Response Time | < 1 ns - limits overshoot during ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) before clamping engages |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power supply exposed to load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp placed directly across input terminals, shunting surge energy to ground before it reaches upstream DC-DC converter. Use Value: Withstands 600 W peak pulses while limiting voltage to ≤71.18 V - preserving 80 V input-rated buck controllers and reducing need for oversized input capacitors. | Use Scenario: LIN bus interface in door module subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed between LIN line and ground, suppressing both positive and negative polarity spikes without polarity-sensitive layout. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response ensures clamping initiates before LIN transceiver's 40 V absolute max rating is exceeded, eliminating need for series resistors or additional filtering. |
| Medical Equipment Isolated Data Lines | Telecom Remote Terminal Unit |
Use Scenario: RS-485 communication port in patient monitor connected to external diagnostic devices via unshielded cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential-line protector bridging A/B lines to ground, leveraging bidirectional symmetry to handle induced common-mode surges. Use Value: UL 497B recognition confirms compliance for medical-grade isolation barriers; 5 µA leakage at 58 V avoids signal integrity degradation in high-impedance receivers. | Use Scenario: Ethernet PHY interface in outdoor DSLAM unit exposed to lightning-induced surges on copper pairs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level protector mounted at board edge, clamping induced transients before they reach transformer-coupled PHY inputs. Use Value: 6.4 A IPP rating aligns with IEC 61000-4-5 2 Ω/12 Ω coupling network requirements; SMB footprint enables compact placement adjacent to RJ-45 connector. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58CA | Same VRWM (58 V), identical SMB package, but lower peak power (600 W vs. SMBJ series' 600 W - same rating), slightly higher VC (72.2 V @ 6.4 A) | Functionally interchangeable in most 48–60 V systems; minor VC difference may affect margin for 75 V-rated components | Select SMBJ58CA if sourcing flexibility is prioritized; verify VC margin against protected IC's absolute max rating |
| P6SMB58CA | Same electrical specs and SMB package, manufactured by Vishay; identical VRWM (58 V), VC (71.18 V @ 6.4 A), and UL 497B recognition | No functional or layout impact; qualified for same industrial/automotive applications per Vishay documentation | P6SMB58CA offers second-source availability with identical performance and footprint - ideal for BOM diversification |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB58CAT3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1SMB58CAT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 71.18 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 6.4 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event and is critical for verifying compatibility with downstream component voltage tolerances. The 1SMB58CAT3 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the 1SMB58CAT3 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, the 1SMB58CAT3 is explicitly designed as a bidirectional TVS diode, enabling symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients without polarity constraints. Its DO-214AA (SMB) package contains no polarity marking, confirming its bidirectional functionality. This makes the 1SMB58CAT3 appropriate for AC-coupled interfaces like RS-485, CAN, or LIN buses where voltage excursions occur in either direction - a key advantage over unidirectional variants like the 1SMB58AT3.
Does the 1SMB58CAT3 meet UL safety standards for circuit protection?
Yes, the 1SMB58CAT3 carries UL 497B recognition under file #116110, specifically certified for isolated loop circuit protection (QVGV2 category). This validation covers rigorous testing including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance - exceeding basic flammability requirements. The 1SMB58CAT3's UL 497B listing confirms its suitability in safety-critical telecom, medical, and industrial isolation barriers where regulatory compliance is mandatory.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 1SMB58CAT3?
The 1SMB58CAT3 is rated for an operating and storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, supporting deployment in extreme environments such as under-hood automotive electronics or industrial motor drives. Its thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) is 40°C/W, and power dissipation must be derated linearly above 75°C ambient. The 1SMB58CAT3's wide temperature capability ensures stable clamping performance and long-term reliability even in thermally demanding applications.
How does the 1SMB58CAT3 compare to the unidirectional 1SMB58AT3?
The 1SMB58CAT3 is bidirectional, while the 1SMB58AT3 is unidirectional - meaning the latter only clamps positive transients and requires correct polarity orientation. Both share identical VRWM (58 V), VBR, and peak power (600 W), but the 1SMB58CAT3 eliminates polarity-dependent layout concerns and supports AC or floating signal paths. For designs with known DC bias polarity, the 1SMB58AT3 may offer marginally lower leakage; however, the 1SMB58CAT3 is preferred for robustness in uncertain or dual-polarity environments.
