Product details
Overview
1SMB6.5AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMB package, with 6.5 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 7.22 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA test current, and 11.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 53.6 A peak pulse current - designed to protect sensitive DC power rails and I/O lines in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB6.5AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 1 ms 600 W surge, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, sub-1 ns response time, low leakage (<500 µA @ 6.5 V), and Pb-free SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 1SMB6.5AT3 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above its VRWM of 6.5 V. Its 11.2 V clamping voltage at 53.6 A IPP ensures robust overvoltage protection for 5 V–6 V nominal systems without overstressing downstream ICs.
It features a thermally optimized Surmetic SMB package (Case 403A) with modified L-bend leads for enhanced solder joint reliability, 260°C/10 s reflow tolerance, and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 226°C/W - enabling sustained operation in ambient temperatures up to +150°C when properly mounted on FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (1 ms) | 600 W - withstands high-energy ESD and lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 6.5 V - selected to match 5 V logic supply rails while providing margin above nominal operating voltage |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) @ IT = 10 mA | 7.22–7.98 V - tight 10% tolerance ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) @ IPP = 53.6 A | 11.2 V - limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry to safe levels below typical 12 V system thresholds |
| Reverse Leakage Current @ VRWM | 500 µA max - negligible standby power loss in battery-powered or low-quiescent-current applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0A | Lower VRWM (6.0 V), higher IPP (61.5 A), same SMB package | Better suited for tighter 5 V rail margins; slightly lower clamping (10.3 V @ 61.5 A) | Select when design requires lower turn-on threshold and higher surge margin than 1SMB6.5AT3 offers |
| 1.5SMC6.8A | Larger SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm), same 6.8 V VRWM, 600 W rating | Higher thermal mass supports higher average surge duty cycles; incompatible with SMB footprint | Choose only if board layout allows larger footprint and thermal performance outweighs space constraints |
Compared with SMBJ6.0A and 1.5SMC6.8A, the 1SMB6.5AT3 provides optimal balance of 6.5 V VRWM margin for 5 V systems, SMB-size board space efficiency, and UL 497B certification - making it preferred for compact, safety-certified industrial and automotive modules where footprint and regulatory alignment are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB6.5AT3 under standard test conditions?
The 1SMB6.5AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 53.6 A with a 1 ms exponential waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the datasheet and ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The 1SMB6.5AT3 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is the 1SMB6.5AT3 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1SMB6.5AT3 indicates a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant version with matte tin lead finish. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The 1SMB6.5AT3 is fully qualified for use in environmentally regulated applications including automotive and medical electronics.
Can the 1SMB6.5AT3 be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1SMB6.5AT3 is strictly unidirectional and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential signals), ON Semiconductor offers the 1SMB6.5CAT3 variant. Using the 1SMB6.5AT3 in reverse-biased configuration will not provide symmetrical clamping and may fail catastrophically under negative transients.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of the 1SMB6.5AT3?
The 1SMB6.5AT3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 226°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint (Case 403A outline). This value assumes natural convection cooling; adding copper pour or thermal vias can reduce effective RJA. Derating begins above +25°C ambient, with full power limited to 0.55 W at +75°C.
Does the 1SMB6.5AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the entire 1SMB5.0AT3 series - including the 1SMB6.5AT3 - holds UL 497B recognition under File #E210057 for protector classification (QVGQ2). It passed strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge testing - confirming suitability for protecting isolated communication loops in industrial and telecom equipment without additional external certification.
