Product details
Overview
1SMC24AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel protection of sensitive electronics against ESD, lightning surges, and inductive load switching transients. It features a 24 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 29.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 38.6 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - deployed in power supply input stages, automotive ECUs, and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMC24AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 1 ms 1500 W surge, UL 497B certification for isolated loop protection, Pb-free SMC (Case 403) package compatibility with automated assembly, and thermal derating behavior above 75°C.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (26.7–28.1 V at 1 mA), it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry. Its low zener impedance and fast turn-on (<1 ns) minimize overshoot during transient events.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (54.6 °C/W) and junction-to-ambient resistance (165 °C/W), requiring PCB copper area optimization per ON Semiconductor's Case 403 footprint. It is rated for −65°C to +150°C operating temperature and supports 200 A forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W @ 1 ms - sustains single high-energy transients without failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 24 V - sets minimum system operating voltage before clamping activates |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 38.9 V @ 38.6 A IPP - defines maximum voltage seen by protected load during surge |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 26.7–28.1 V @ 1 mA - precise avalanche initiation threshold for predictable clamping onset |
| Response Time | <1 ns - ensures suppression begins before most ICs experience overvoltage damage |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B (QVGQ2 File #E210057) - certified for isolated loop circuit protection in safety-critical systems |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in ON Semiconductor's SURMETIC™ SMC (Case 403) surface-mount package: void-free thermosetting plastic body, modified L-bend leads, cathode indicated by molded notch, RoHS-compliant, 260°C soldering tolerance (10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current return path during clamping | Connected to system ground or low-side reference; carries full surge current during reverse avalanche |
| Cathode | High-voltage input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); polarity notch identifies this terminal for correct PCB placement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse rating | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surges without derating |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes voltage stress on downstream components during worst-case surge conditions |
| UL 497B recognition | Validates suitability for telecom and industrial isolated loop protection without additional certification effort |
| Pb-free SMC package | Supports lead-free reflow profiles and complies with global environmental regulations (RoHS, REACH) |
| −65°C to +150°C operation | Ensures reliability in under-hood automotive, outdoor power, and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1SMC24AT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified, automotive-grade variant with PPAP capability and tighter process controls | Required for automotive OEM designs; same electrical specs and SMC package | Select when automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) and traceability per PPAP are mandatory |
| SMCJ24A | Same VRWM (24 V) and VC (38.9 V), but higher IPP (43.5 A) and 1600 W rating; different marking and minor thermal resistance variation | Used where marginally higher surge headroom is needed without layout change | Choose if legacy SMCJ-series sourcing or slightly higher peak current handling is prioritized |
Compared with 1SMC24AT3, SZ1SMC24AT3G adds automotive qualification and process traceability without altering clamping behavior, while SMCJ24A offers marginally higher surge capacity but lacks UL 497B recognition - making 1SMC24AT3 optimal for UL-certified industrial and medical power inputs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1SMC24AT3 under maximum surge conditions?
The 1SMC24AT3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 38.6 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured with a 1 ms exponential waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the ON Semiconductor datasheet.
Is the 1SMC24AT3 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1SMC24AT3 is supplied in a Pb-free SMC (Case 403) package and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "T3" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and the device meets ON Semiconductor's Pb-free soldering specifications - including compatibility with 260°C reflow profiles for 10 seconds.
Does the 1SMC24AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the entire 1SMCxxAT3G series - including the 1SMC24AT3 - holds UL 497B recognition under File #E210057 (QVGQ2 category) for protectors. It passed Strike Voltage Breakdown, Endurance Conditioning, Dielectric Withstand, and Discharge tests - confirming suitability for isolated loop circuits in telecom and industrial systems.
What is the thermal resistance and derating behavior of the 1SMC24AT3?
The 1SMC24AT3 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) of 54.6 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance (RJA) of 165 °C/W. Its DC power dissipation derates linearly above 75°C at 18.3 mW/°C, and peak pulse power must be reduced per Figure 3 in the datasheet when ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
How does the 1SMC24AT3 differ from the SZ1SMC24AT3G variant?
The 1SMC24AT3 is the commercial-grade version, while SZ1SMC24AT3G is the automotive-qualified variant: both share identical electrical parameters, SMC package, and marking layout, but SZ1SMC24AT3G undergoes AEC-Q101 stress testing and supports PPAP documentation - required for Tier 1 automotive programs.
