Product details
Overview
1SMB8.0AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients. It features a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 8.0 V, breakdown voltage (VBR) of 8.77–9.21 V at 1.0 A test current, and clamps to ≤13.6 V at 44.1 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for 5 V–12 V DC power rail and I/O line protection in industrial power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB8.0AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC < IC absolute maximum rating, low leakage (<1.0 µA @ VRWM), UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection, and SMB package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1SMB8.0AT3 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transient overvoltages within nanoseconds. Its response time is typically <1.0 ns, and it maintains low zener impedance to ensure stable clamping under fast-rising 10/1000 µs surge waveforms.
It is rated for 600 W peak pulse power (1 ms, non-repetitive), supports forward surge current up to 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits thermal resistance of 40 °C/W junction-to-lead - enabling robust surge handling without external heatsinking in standard FR-4 PCB mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 8.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must be ≥ nominal circuit voltage (e.g., 5 V or 8 V rails) to avoid leakage conduction during normal operation. |
| VBR @ IT = 1.0 A | 8.77–9.21 V - Breakdown onset range; defines the voltage threshold at which avalanche conduction begins under standardized DC test conditions. |
| VC @ IPP = 44.1 A | 13.6 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; must remain below protected IC's absolute maximum input voltage (e.g., <16 V for many 12 V logic interfaces). |
| IPP | 44.1 A - Peak pulse current capability at 1 ms; determines maximum surge energy (≈½ × VC × IPP × 1 ms ≈ 0.3 J) the device can safely absorb. |
| IR @ VRWM | 1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at 8.0 V; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance sensing or bias networks. |
| Ctyp @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 1780 pF - Junction capacitance; impacts high-frequency signal integrity - acceptable for DC/low-speed lines (e.g., RS-232, CAN, power monitoring), not RF or USB 2.0+. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | Class 3 (>16 kV) - Confirmed human-body-model ESD immunity; qualifies for direct I/O port protection in consumer and industrial equipment per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads, cathode indicated by polarity band. Dimensions: 4.06–4.60 mm (E) × 3.30–3.95 mm (D) × 1.90–2.45 mm (A), compatible with standard 2.5 mm pitch footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node; forms return path for clamped surge current. |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., +5 V rail, CAN_H); conducts avalanche current to anode when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (1 ms) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 Ω source, 2 Ω line impedance) surges up to ±1 kV on 24 V systems. |
| UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) | Validated for use in isolated loop circuits (e.g., 4–20 mA sensor transmitters), meeting dielectric withstand, endurance, and strike voltage requirements. |
| Response time <1.0 ns | Minimizes voltage overshoot during sub-10 ns rise-time transients (e.g., relay coil flyback, ESD contact discharge), reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage. |
| Pb-free (G suffix) and RoHS-compliant | Supports lead-free reflow soldering (260 °C for 10 s) and meets global environmental compliance mandates without performance trade-offs. |
| Low zener impedance | Ensures tight clamping voltage regulation across varying surge currents - critical for protecting narrow-voltage-margin devices like microcontrollers and ADC references. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) I/O Lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A (STMicroelectronics) | Same VRWM (8.0 V), slightly higher VC (13.6 V vs. 13.6 V - identical), but lower IPP (43.0 A vs. 44.1 A) and higher Ctyp (1850 pF). | Approved for automotive AEC-Q200 Grade 2; better suited for under-hood environments requiring extended temperature validation (-40°C to +125°C). | Select SMBJ8.0A when AEC-Q200 qualification is mandatory; otherwise, 1SMB8.0AT3 offers tighter VBR tolerance and lower capacitance for precision analog protection. |
| P6SMB8.0A (Littelfuse) | Identical VRWM (8.0 V), same 600 W rating, but higher VC (13.6 V - matched), wider VBR range (8.4–9.6 V), and higher IR (5.0 µA @ VRWM). | Widely stocked in global distribution; preferred for legacy designs where second-source availability and long-term lifecycle support are prioritized. | Choose P6SMB8.0A for multi-source procurement strategy; note its higher leakage may affect ultra-low-power sensor nodes. |
Compared with SMBJ8.0A and P6SMB8.0A, the 1SMB8.0AT3 delivers the tightest VBR tolerance (±2.5%), lowest junction capacitance (1780 pF), and UL 497B certification - making it optimal for medical isolated interfaces and high-precision industrial analog signal chains where clamping accuracy and regulatory compliance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1SMB8.0AT3 under surge conditions?
The 1SMB8.0AT3 clamps to a maximum of 13.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 44.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 16 V-tolerant ICs and avoiding overvoltage damage in 12 V systems.
Does the 1SMB8.0AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the 1SMB8.0AT3 is UL Recognized under file E210057, category QVGQ2, specifically for protector applications per UL 497B. It has passed all required tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric voltage-withstand, and discharge testing - confirming suitability for safeguarding 4–20 mA current loops, isolated sensor interfaces, and other safety-critical analog signal paths in medical and industrial equipment.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1SMB8.0AT3, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The 1SMB8.0AT3 exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 1780 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. While this value is acceptable for DC, power rail, and low-speed communication lines (e.g., RS-232, LIN, CAN), it is too high for USB 2.0, HDMI, or Ethernet signal integrity - where sub-5 pF devices are required. For such applications, consider dedicated low-capacitance TVS arrays or ESD protection ICs instead of the 1SMB8.0AT3.
Can the 1SMB8.0AT3 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?
The 1SMB8.0AT3 itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, it is widely deployed in automotive body electronics (e.g., BCMs, lighting modules) where customer-level qualification suffices. For designs mandating certified AEC-Q200 Grade 2 components, alternatives like STMicroelectronics' SMBJ8.0A or Vishay's SMAJ8.0A should be selected - both offer identical VRWM and clamping performance with formal automotive stress-test validation.
What is the reverse leakage current of the 1SMB8.0AT3 at its working voltage?
The 1SMB8.0AT3 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at its working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 8.0 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This ultra-low leakage ensures negligible power loss in always-on circuits and preserves accuracy in high-impedance voltage monitoring or reference divider networks - a key advantage over alternatives with 5 µA or higher leakage ratings.
