Product details
Overview
1SMB64CAT3G from ON Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMB package, with 64 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 78.58 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, and 103 V clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current. It protects communication interfaces and power rails against ESD and lightning surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB64CAT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this TVS diode delivers sub-1 ns response time, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, Class 3 HBM ESD rating (>16 kV), and low leakage (<5 µA above 10 V) - critical for robust industrial and automotive interface protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped parallel protector, leveraging avalanche breakdown to shunt transients away from sensitive circuitry. Its bidirectional structure enables symmetric suppression of both positive and negative polarity surges without polarity marking.
Designed for non-repetitive 1 ms pulses, it sustains 600 W peak power at 25 °C ambient, with thermal derating to 0.55 W DC at TA = 25 °C and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 226 °C/W on FR-4 board using ON Semi's recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 64 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must be ≥ system DC/peak voltage |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 73.72 / 78.58 / 83.3 V @ 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VC @ IPP | 103 V @ 5.8 A - clamped voltage during surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs |
| PPK | 600 W @ 1 ms - peak energy-handling capability for lightning/ESD transients per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| Capacitance | 145 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for <100 Mbps data lines but requires layout mitigation above 10 Mbps |
| Leakage | <5 µA @ VRWM - negligible standby current impact on low-power sensor or battery-backed circuits |
| Response Time | <1 ns - ensures clamping activation before most semiconductor damage thresholds are exceeded |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403C), surface-mount, Pb-free, void-free thermosetting plastic housing with modified L-bend leads. Mounting position: any. Polarity band not indicated (bidirectional).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode | Transient conduction path | Bidirectional terminals - either lead serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no marking required |
| Case | Thermal and mechanical interface | Plastic body provides electrical isolation and heat dissipation via PCB copper area; no internal thermal pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognition | Qualified for isolated loop circuit protection - meets strike voltage, endurance, dielectric withstand, and discharge requirements for telecom and industrial safety compliance |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified (SZ variant) | Validated for automotive underhood environments - supports use in engine control, infotainment, and ADAS power rail protection |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, enabling direct port protection without upstream series impedance |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.31 - tight voltage margin between breakdown and clamping improves system-level surge margin vs. competitors |
| SURMETIC® Package | ON Semiconductor's proprietary molding process - delivers high reliability, solderability, and moisture resistance per J-STD-020 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ64A | 400 W PPK, SMA package, 100 V VC @ 4.3 A, 115 pF capacitance | Lower surge rating and higher clamping voltage reduce margin for 24 V systems with high-energy transients | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 600 W headroom or UL 497B certification |
| SMCJ64A | 1500 W PPK, SMC package, 103 V VC @ 14.5 A, 200 pF capacitance | Larger footprint and higher capacitance limit use in high-speed data lines but improve lightning resilience | Select for primary-level AC/DC front-end protection where PCB space allows and speed is secondary |
Compared with SMAJ64A and SMCJ64A, the 1SMB64CAT3G offers optimal balance of surge rating (600 W), compact SMB footprint, UL 497B compliance, and 145 pF capacitance - making it ideal for space-constrained, safety-critical secondary-side protection in industrial and automotive electronics.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB64CAT3G at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1SMB64CAT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured per the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 1SMB64CAT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the SZ1SMB64CAT3G variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, supporting automotive underhood and chassis applications. While the standard 1SMB64CAT3G shares identical electrical specs, only the SZ-prefix version is certified for automotive use; design-in for automotive systems requires verification of the SZ part number and associated PPAP documentation.
Does the 1SMB64CAT3G have polarity marking on the package?
No - the 1SMB64CAT3G is a bidirectional TVS diode and carries no polarity band or marking. Its symmetrical Zener structure allows either terminal to serve as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity, simplifying PCB layout and eliminating orientation constraints during automated assembly.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1SMB64CAT3G and how does it affect PCB layout?
The 1SMB64CAT3G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 226 °C/W on FR-4 board using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint. To maintain reliability during repetitive surges, designers must provide adequate copper pour area (≥1 in²) and avoid thermal bottlenecks - insufficient copper increases junction temperature and reduces surge endurance.
How does UL 497B recognition benefit designs using the 1SMB64CAT3G?
UL 497B recognition confirms the 1SMB64CAT3G meets rigorous safety requirements for protectors in telecommunications and industrial isolated circuits - including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, and dielectric withstand tests. This certification eliminates need for additional external safety components and accelerates end-product safety approvals in regulated markets.
