Product details
Overview
1SMB75CAT3 from ON Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 75 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 92.07 V maximum clamping voltage at 4.9 A peak pulse current, and sub-1 ns response time. Used in power supplies, industrial controls, and automotive ECUs to absorb ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB75CAT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system DC bus voltage, VC margin below IC absolute maximum ratings, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, and SMB package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
The 1SMB75CAT3 operates as a bidirectional Zener-based TVS, conducting symmetrically during positive and negative transients above its breakdown threshold. Its low zener impedance and fast turn-on (<1 ns) enable effective clamping of fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) and surge waveforms (10/1000 µs).
It is rated for 600 W non-repetitive peak pulse power at 1 ms, with thermal derating to 0.55 W at TA = 25°C and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 226 °C/W on FR-4 board. UL 497B recognition confirms compliance for isolated loop circuit protection applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 75 V - Minimum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail or AC peak voltage. |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 81.90 / 91.65 / 95.83 V @ 1 mA - Ensures predictable turn-on with tight tolerance for consistent protection threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 121 V @ 4.9 A - Maximum clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; defines safe margin vs. load IC rating. |
| IPP | 4.9 A - Peak pulse current capability at 1 ms pulse width; determines surge energy absorption (600 W). |
| IR @ VRWM | < 5 µA - Negligible leakage at operating voltage; avoids power loss or false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| Response Time | < 1 ns - Enables suppression of nanosecond-scale ESD transients before downstream components experience overstress. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - Meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements for end-equipment certification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic case (Case 403A). Dimensions: 4.06–4.57 mm × 3.30–3.81 mm × 1.90–2.41 mm (L×W×H); lead finish solderable per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Negative terminal in unidirectional mode; symmetrical conduction path in bidirectional operation | Connected to ground or low-side reference; enables clamping of both polarities without polarity marking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA | Same VRWM (75 V), identical SMB package, but lower 600 W rating applies only at TL = 25°C (not TA); higher RJA (250 °C/W vs. 226 °C/W). | Less margin in ambient-temperature-constrained layouts; requires tighter thermal management on PCB. | Select 1SMB75CAT3 when UL 497B certification or verified 226 °C/W RJA on FR-4 is required. |
| P6SMB75CA | Same electrical specs and SMB package, but obsolete per ON Semi lifecycle notice; no new production after Q3 2022. | No long-term supply assurance; not recommended for new designs or volume production. | 1SMB75CAT3 is the active, preferred replacement with full manufacturing support and tape-and-reel availability. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB75CAT3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1SMB75CAT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at its peak pulse current (IPP) of 4.9 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and must be compared against the absolute maximum ratings of downstream components to ensure safe operation. The 1SMB75CAT3 maintains this clamping performance across its specified temperature range and mounting conditions.
Is the 1SMB75CAT3 certified for use in safety-isolated circuits?
Yes, the 1SMB75CAT3 carries UL 497B recognition (File #116110, QVGV2 category) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification verifies compliance with rigorous tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance-making it suitable for medical, telecom, and industrial applications requiring reinforced isolation barriers. The 1SMB75CAT3 is explicitly listed in ON Semiconductor's UL-certified devices table.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1SMB75CAT3 when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB?
When mounted on an FR-4 board using ON Semiconductor's minimum recommended footprint (Case 403A outline), the 1SMB75CAT3 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 226 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and directly impacts allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm that at TA = 75°C, the device supports 0.55 W continuous power dissipation-critical for thermal design validation of the 1SMB75CAT3.
Does the 1SMB75CAT3 have polarity markings on its package?
No, the 1SMB75CAT3 does not feature a polarity band or marking on its SMB package, as confirmed in the mechanical characteristics section of the datasheet. This reflects its bidirectional construction: both terminals behave identically under positive or negative overvoltage conditions. Layouts must treat the device as symmetric, with either terminal connectable to line or ground-eliminating orientation errors during automated assembly of the 1SMB75CAT3.
How does the 1SMB75CAT3 compare to older P6SMB75CA in terms of supply chain status?
The P6SMB75CA has been discontinued by ON Semiconductor, with last-time-buy announcements issued and no new production after Q3 2022. In contrast, the 1SMB75CAT3 is designated a Preferred Device in the ON Semiconductor portfolio, with active manufacturing, full tape-and-reel packaging (2500/reel), and documented long-term availability. For new designs and production ramp, the 1SMB75CAT3 is the only supported, lifecycle-guaranteed option replacing P6SMB75CA.
