Product details
Overview
P6SMB47AT3 from ON Semiconductor 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 40.2 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 47 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, clamps to ≤64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPP), and delivers sub-1 ns response time with <5 µA leakage above 10 V. It is widely deployed in automotive power supply input stages to suppress load-dump and ISO 7637-2 transients.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin vs. system operating voltage, clamping voltage headroom relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, peak pulse current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveforms, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection.
Technical Context
The P6SMB47AT3 operates as a silicon avalanche diode in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode during transient events, providing low-impedance shunt conduction to clamp voltage spikes. Its design targets single-pulse 10/1000 µs waveform compliance per IEC 61000-4-5 and meets UL 497B Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Thermal performance is defined by 40 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) and 226 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RJA) on FR-4 board with minimum footprint. It sustains 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W @ 1 ms 10/1000 µs waveform - supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity testing |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 40.2 V - sets minimum DC operating voltage threshold before leakage exceeds 5 µA |
| Zener Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 47.05 V min / 49.4 V max @ IT = 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset under controlled test conditions |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤64.8 V @ IPP = 9.3 A - ensures protected downstream ICs remain below 70 V absolute maximum rating |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <5 µA @ VRWM = 40.2 V - minimizes standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| Response Time | <1 ns - enables suppression before fast-rising ESD or switching transients damage sensitive inputs |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - qualifies for high-reliability industrial and automotive interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A | Same SMB package, identical VRWM (40.2 V), VBR (47 V), and VC (64.8 V); differs only in manufacturer (Bourns) and RoHS marking convention | No functional difference; validated for same automotive and industrial surge standards | Select when dual-sourcing or Bourns franchise preference applies; identical layout and thermal behavior |
| 1.5SMC47A | Higher-power 1500 W variant in larger SMC package; VRWM = 40.2 V, VBR = 47 V, but VC = 64.8 V @ 23.3 A IPP | Used where higher single-pulse energy (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 2 Ω coupling) must be absorbed without voltage rise | Choose only if system-level surge testing requires >600 W capability; requires PCB footprint change and increased thermal mass |
Compared with SMBJ47A, P6SMB47AT3 offers identical electrical performance with ON Semiconductor's UL 497B QVGQ2 listing and Surmet® package reliability; compared with 1.5SMC47A, it trades peak power for smaller SMB footprint and lower thermal inertia-ideal for space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB47AT3 under standard surge conditions?
The P6SMB47AT3 clamps to a maximum of 64.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 9.3 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per ON Semiconductor's test conditions in the official datasheet and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream components during a worst-case transient event. The P6SMB47AT3 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Does the P6SMB47AT3 meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the P6SMB47AT3 carries UL 497B recognition under file QVGQ2, explicitly qualifying it for use in isolated loop circuit protection applications such as telecom interfaces and medical equipment signal conditioning. This certification covers multiple tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance-not just flammability. The P6SMB47AT3 is one of the few TVS diodes with full UL 497B listing across its entire voltage range.
What is the leakage current specification for the P6SMB47AT3 at its working voltage?
The P6SMB47AT3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA when biased at its working peak reverse voltage of 40.2 V, measured at 25 °C ambient temperature. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive modules and preserves accuracy in precision analog circuits. Leakage remains well below 10 µA even at elevated temperatures up to +125 °C, as confirmed by thermal derating curves in the ON Semiconductor datasheet for P6SMB47AT3.
Can the P6SMB47AT3 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the P6SMB47AT3 is strictly unidirectional and must not be used for bidirectional surge suppression. Its internal structure supports conduction only from cathode to anode during reverse transients. For bidirectional applications-such as AC line protection or differential data lines-ON Semiconductor specifies separate part numbers like P6SMB47CAT3. Using P6SMB47AT3 in place of a bidirectional device will result in failure to suppress positive-going transients on the anode side.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) for the P6SMB47AT3?
The P6SMB47AT3 has a thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) of 40 °C/W, measured under standardized conditions with zero lead length on a 1″ square copper pad (FR-4 board). This parameter directly impacts power dissipation capability during repetitive surge events and informs heatsinking decisions in high-duty-cycle applications. The P6SMB47AT3's RJL value is consistent across all variants in the P6SMBxxAT3 family and is verified via JEDEC JESD51-14 transient dual-interface testing.
