Product details
Overview
P6SMB150AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 128 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 150 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, clamps transients to ≤207 V at 2.9 A peak pulse current, and delivers sub-1 ns response time - deployed in power supply input stages, industrial I/O interfaces, and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB150AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system DC bus voltage, clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 waveform, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection.
Technical Context
The P6SMB150AT3 operates as a Zener-based avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 150 V nominal breakdown threshold. Its low zener impedance and fast <1 ns response enable effective suppression of ESD (≥16 kV HBM) and lightning-induced surges without latch-up or thermal runaway.
It is rated for 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), with thermal derating above 75°C junction temperature and a maximum junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 40°C/W. The device exhibits ≤5 µA leakage at 128 V VRWM and 0.108%/°C temperature coefficient of VBR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 128 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail or AC peak voltage. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 143–158 V - Breakdown voltage range defining turn-on threshold; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPP = 2.9 A | 207 V - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream components. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per non-repetitive 1 ms surge; validates compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4. |
| IR @ VRWM | ≤5 µA - Reverse leakage current at rated VRWM; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Time from surge onset to clamping activation; critical for protecting fast logic and communication interfaces. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - Confirmed robustness against human-body model electrostatic discharge events. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B QVGQ2 - Certified for use in isolated loop circuit protection, including telecom and industrial fieldbus systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode indicated by polarity band. Dimensions: 4.06–4.60 mm width (E), 3.30–3.95 mm length (D), 1.90–2.45 mm height (A), lead-free (Pb−Free) compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-biased operation | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; defines current flow direction during clamping. |
| Cathode | High-voltage input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., DC input, signal trace); carries full surge current into ground via anode during transient event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity up to 4 kV (line-earth) without degradation in standard PCB layouts. |
| UL 497B certification | Validates suitability for safety-critical isolated loop protection in medical equipment and industrial controllers. |
| Sub-1 ns response time | Minimizes voltage overshoot before clamping engages - essential for safeguarding 3.3 V/5 V logic and USB/RS-485 transceivers. |
| Low zener impedance | Ensures stable clamping voltage across varying surge currents, reducing risk of secondary overstress on protected ICs. |
| Pb−Free SURMETIC® package | RoHS-compliant thermoset plastic housing with corrosion-resistant leads and 260°C solderability tolerance. |
| 16 kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for additional ESD protection in front-end interfaces exposed to handling or connector mating. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ150A | Same VRWM (128 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPK = 600 W and higher VC = 219 V at 2.7 A. | Marginally higher clamping voltage reduces protection margin for 150 V-rated downstream components. | Select P6SMB150AT3 when tighter clamping (<207 V) and UL 497B certification are required. |
| 1.5SMC150A | Higher PPK = 1500 W, DO-214AB package (larger footprint), VRWM = 128 V, VC = 246 V at 6.1 A. | Greater surge capacity suits high-energy environments but requires PCB layout change and lacks UL 497B listing. | Choose P6SMB150AT3 for space-constrained designs needing certified, low-clamp protection in SMB footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ150A and 1.5SMC150A, the P6SMB150AT3 offers the lowest clamping voltage in the SMB form factor and unique UL 497B recognition - making it optimal for safety-certified industrial and medical systems where layout area and regulatory compliance are prioritized over raw energy handling.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the P6SMB150AT3?
The P6SMB150AT3 has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 128 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or continuous peak voltage level. This value ensures compatibility with 100–125 VDC industrial buses and 24/48 V systems with high transient margins. Exceeding VRWM initiates avalanche conduction, and the P6SMB150AT3 transitions into clamping mode to protect downstream circuitry.
How does the clamping voltage of the P6SMB150AT3 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The P6SMB150AT3 has a nominal breakdown voltage (VBR) of 150 V at 1 mA test current, but its maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 207 V at 2.9 A peak pulse current. This 57 V differential reflects the dynamic impedance rise under surge conditions - a critical design parameter that defines the actual overvoltage stress imposed on protected components during real-world transients.
Is the P6SMB150AT3 certified for safety-critical applications?
Yes, the P6SMB150AT3 carries UL 497B recognition (File #E210057, Category QVGQ2) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification validates performance in medical equipment, industrial controllers, and telecom infrastructure where failure could impact safety - covering tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge reliability.
What package type and mounting method does the P6SMB150AT3 use?
The P6SMB150AT3 uses the SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount package - a void-free, thermosetting plastic housing with modified L-bend leads for enhanced pad adhesion. It supports reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds and is supplied in Pb−Free (RoHS-compliant) tape-and-reel format (2500 units/reel), optimized for automated assembly in high-volume production.
Can the P6SMB150AT3 replace bidirectional TVS diodes in AC-coupled circuits?
No - the P6SMB150AT3 is unidirectional and intended only for DC or single-polarity transient suppression. For AC line protection (e.g., telecom tip/ring, AC mains inputs), bidirectional variants like P6SMB150CAT3 must be used. Substituting the P6SMB150AT3 in AC applications risks forward conduction during negative half-cycles, leading to overheating or catastrophic failure.
