Product details
Overview
1SMB85AT3 from onsemi is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 85 V, breakdown voltage (VBR) of 94.4–104 V at 1 mA, clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current, and response time < 1.0 ns - deployed in automotive power supplies, industrial I/O interfaces, and telecom surge protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB85AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin below protected IC absolute maximum rating, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop compliance, and SMB package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
The 1SMB85AT3 operates as a Zener-based avalanche clamp, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (94.4–104 V), with low dynamic impedance ensuring stable clamping during 1 ms 600 W transients. Its unidirectional polarity enables asymmetric protection where forward conduction is acceptable or required.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (RJL = 40 °C/W) and junction-to-ambient resistance (RJA = 226 °C/W) under defined PCB footprint conditions; derating begins above 75°C for lead temperature and above 25°C for ambient temperature per published curves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W @ 1 ms - withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 85 V - sets minimum system operating voltage threshold before clamping activates |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 94.4–104 V @ 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset range for predictable turn-on |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 137 V @ 4.4 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated surge |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 55 µA @ 85 V - negligible standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Response Time | < 1.0 ns - ensures clamping initiates before most semiconductor damage thresholds are exceeded |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD immunity requirements |
Pinout & Package
SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package with cathode band marking; anode and cathode terminals only; optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering with modified L-bend leads and 260°C/10s max soldering temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path / low-side reference | Connects to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional clamp configuration |

| Surmetic® Package | Void-free thermoset molding ensures long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| Low Clamping Ratio (VC/VBR) | 137 V / 99.2 V ≈ 1.38 - tight ratio minimizes overvoltage margin required for downstream ICs |
| Pb-Free (G suffix) | RoHS-compliant construction with compatible reflow profile and no lead contamination risk |
| High Surge Current Capability | 4.4 A peak pulse current - supports repeated lightning-induced transients in industrial fieldbus nodes |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed across input filter capacitor to clamp transients before DC-DC converter input stage. Use Value: 137 V clamping voltage ensures protected regulator remains below its 140 V abs max rating during 600 W surges. |
Use Scenario: 24 V digital input modules receiving signals from external sensors in factory automation environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS on each input channel to absorb induced surges from relay switching or EMI coupling. Use Value: 85 V VRWM matches standard 24 V nominal + 25% tolerance, preventing false triggering during normal operation. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Medical Equipment Power Entry |
Use Scenario: Low-voltage Ethernet or RS-485 ports in base station equipment subjected to lightning-induced common-mode surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired with common-mode choke and gas discharge tube for hybrid surge suppression architecture. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time ensures clamping occurs before coupled energy reaches PHY transceivers. |
Use Scenario: AC/DC front-end of diagnostic imaging devices requiring reinforced isolation and low leakage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS on isolated DC bus to prevent transient propagation into sensitive analog acquisition stages. Use Value: 55 µA IR at 85 V avoids loading precision voltage references or sensor bias networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A | Same VRWM (85 V), higher PPK (600 W), identical SMB package; VBR min 94.4 V, VC 137 V - functionally aligned | No UL 497B recognition; lacks isolated loop certification | Select when UL compliance is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| 1.5SMC85A | Higher PPK (1500 W), larger SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 mm vs. SMB 4.6 × 3.6 mm); VRWM 85 V, VC 137 V, same VBR range | Requires PCB layout change; suited for higher-energy threat environments (e.g., outdoor telecom) | Select when surge energy exceeds 600 W and board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with SMBJ85A, the 1SMB85AT3 provides UL 497B certification critical for medical and industrial isolated systems; compared with 1.5SMC85A, it delivers identical electrical protection in 45% smaller area - enabling compact, certified designs without sacrificing surge margin.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMB85AT3 under full-rated surge conditions?
The 1SMB85AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage that will appear across the protected circuit during a 600 W transient event, making it essential for verifying margin against downstream IC absolute maximum ratings in the 1SMB85AT3 application layout.
Does the 1SMB85AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the 1SMB85AT3 is UL Recognized under file E210057, category QVGQ2, specifically for protector applications per UL 497B. This certification covers performance in isolated loop circuits including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, and dielectric withstand tests - a key differentiator versus non-certified alternatives like SMBJ85A in the 1SMB85AT3 product family.
What is the thermal resistance and derating behavior of the 1SMB85AT3?
The 1SMB85AT3 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) of 40 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance (RJA) of 226 °C/W under specified PCB conditions. Its DC power dissipation derates linearly above 75°C for lead temperature and above 25°C for ambient temperature, with published curves in the 1SMB5.0AT3 Series datasheet guiding thermal design for sustained surge duty cycles.
How does the 1SMB85AT3 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like the 1SMB85CAT3?
The 1SMB85AT3 is unidirectional and blocks forward current while clamping only in reverse - ideal for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. In contrast, the 1SMB85CAT3 is bidirectional and clamps symmetrically in both polarities, suited for AC lines or data buses with undefined signal swing. The 1SMB85AT3 offers tighter VBR tolerance and lower leakage than its bidirectional counterpart, optimizing performance in DC-coupled 1SMB85AT3 use cases.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature and duration for the 1SMB85AT3?
The 1SMB85AT3 supports a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for up to 10 seconds, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. Its Surmetic® package uses void-free thermoset plastic with corrosion-resistant, readily solderable leads - verified for compatibility with standard reflow profiles used in high-volume 1SMB85AT3 assembly.
