Product details
Overview
P6SMB8.2AT3 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 7.02 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 8.2 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage at 10 mA test current, and clamps transients to ≤12.1 V at 50 A peak pulse current. It is used in power supply input stages, automotive ECUs, and industrial I/O interfaces to absorb ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB8.2AT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ circuit operating voltage, clamping voltage margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection compliance.
Technical Context
The P6SMB8.2AT3 operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS, conducting only in reverse bias above its breakdown threshold. Its low zener impedance and <1 ns response time enable fast clamping of high-energy transients while minimizing overshoot in properly laid-out circuits.
It is rated for 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current, and exhibits <200 µA reverse leakage at 7.02 V. Thermal design must account for 226°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on FR-4 with minimum footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 7.02 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR @ IT=10 mA | 7.79–8.61 V - Confirmed Zener breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on margin above VRWM |
| VC @ IPP=50 A | 12.1 V - Clamping voltage limits protected circuit stress during worst-case surge |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak surge energy absorption capacity per single 1 ms pulse |
| IR @ VRWM | 200 µA - Low leakage preserves system efficiency in standby and low-power modes |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Enables suppression of fast-rising ESD and switching noise transients |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B - Certified for isolated loop circuit protection in telecom and industrial systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A | VRWM = 8.0 V, VBR min = 8.89 V, VC = 12.0 V @ 51.2 A - slightly higher VRWM and tighter VBR tolerance | Better suited for 8.5–9.0 V nominal rails where margin above 8.0 V is required | Select SMBJ8.0A when operating voltage approaches 8.0 V and tighter clamping consistency is needed |
| 1.5SMC8.2A | Same VRWM/VBR/VC specs but in larger SMC package (DO-214AB); 1500 W peak power rating | Used where higher surge endurance or legacy SMC footprint compatibility is mandatory | Choose 1.5SMC8.2A only if PCB layout allows SMC size or 1500 W surge headroom is required |
Compared with P6SMB8.2AT3, SMBJ8.0A offers higher VRWM headroom for 8 V systems but identical clamping performance, while 1.5SMC8.2A trades SMB's compactness for greater surge capacity and thermal mass-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package footprints.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the P6SMB8.2AT3?
The P6SMB8.2AT3 has a VRWM of 7.02 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage level under normal operation. This value is selected to be ≥10% below the 8.2 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage, ensuring stable blocking behavior while allowing sufficient margin for system voltage tolerances and temperature drift. The P6SMB8.2AT3 maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
How does the clamping voltage of P6SMB8.2AT3 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The P6SMB8.2AT3 clamps at ≤12.1 V when subjected to a 50 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform), which is approximately 48% above its nominal 8.2 V breakdown voltage. This controlled voltage rise reflects the device's low dynamic impedance and ensures predictable protection behavior. Unlike avalanche diodes with wide VBR spreads, the P6SMB8.2AT3's tight 7.79–8.61 V breakdown range guarantees consistent clamping onset across production lots.
Is P6SMB8.2AT3 certified for safety-critical applications?
Yes, the P6SMB8.2AT3 carries UL 497B recognition (File #E210057) for isolated loop circuit protection, validating its use in telecom interfaces, medical equipment secondary-side isolation barriers, and industrial fieldbus systems. This certification covers rigorous testing including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance-going beyond basic flammability compliance required for many competing TVS diodes.
What is the maximum surge current the P6SMB8.2AT3 can handle?
The P6SMB8.2AT3 is rated for 50 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform, corresponding to its 600 W peak power rating. It also supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) for 8.3 ms half-sine pulses. These values are validated at TA = 25 °C; derating applies above 25 °C ambient per the published pulse derating curve in the datasheet.
Does P6SMB8.2AT3 meet automotive ESD requirements?
Yes, the P6SMB8.2AT3 meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air) with an HBM rating exceeding 16 kV. Its <1 ns response time and low clamping voltage make it suitable for protecting CAN, LIN, and sensor interfaces in automotive body electronics. While not AEC-Q200 qualified itself, the P6SMB8.2AT3 is widely deployed in automotive modules where discrete TVS protection is specified alongside AEC-Q101 MOSFETs and Q200 passive components.
