Product details
Overview
SM05T1 from onsemi is a dual common-anode transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode array in SOT-23 package, designed for ESD and surge protection of two independent signal lines. It features 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 9.8 V clamping voltage (VC) at 17 A peak pulse current, and 300 W peak pulse power (8 × 20 µs). It is used in USB, keyboard, and I/O port protection where board space is constrained.
For engineers reviewing the SM05T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional/unidirectional configuration flexibility, low clamping voltage under 17 A stress, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-5 or alumina substrates.
Technical Context
The SM05T1 integrates two monolithic silicon zener junctions sharing a common anode (Pin 3), enabling dual-line unidirectional protection or single-line bidirectional operation via external routing. Its breakdown voltage (VBR) is 6.2–7.3 V at 1 mA test current, with typical capacitance of 225 pF at 0 V bias - optimized for low-speed data lines like RS-232 or parallel I/O.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact), IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (12 A lightning surge) standards. Thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, limiting steady-state dissipation to 225 mW at 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system supply margin for protected lines. |
| VBR (min/max) | 6.2 V / 7.3 V at 1 mA - Ensures predictable turn-on across process variation; defines lower bound of clamping onset. |
| VC @ IPP = 17 A | 9.8 V - Clamped voltage during 8 × 20 µs surge; must stay below IC absolute maximum ratings of downstream devices. |
| IPP (max) | 17 A - Peak pulse current capability per line; determines survivability against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 surges. |
| Capacitance @ 0 V | 225 pF - Limits high-frequency signal integrity degradation; suitable for ≤1 MHz digital interfaces. |
| Leakage @ VRWM | <1 µA - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Package | SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 12) - Enables 0.95 mm × 2.0 mm footprint; supports high-density PCB layouts and standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (Case 318, Style 12), void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant, solderable finish. Maximum soldering temperature: 260 °C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (Line 1) | Connects to first protected signal line; reverse-biased during normal operation; conducts during overvoltage events. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Line 2) | Connects to second protected signal line; electrically isolated from Pin 1 except through shared anode (Pin 3). |
| Pin 3 | Common Anode | Reference node tied to system ground or common return; enables dual-line protection with single-package footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-line protection in one SOT-23 | Reduces PCB area by ~50% vs. two discrete SOT-23 TVS diodes; eliminates inter-trace coupling risk in split layouts. |
| Configurable unidirectional/bidirectional mode | Pin 1–3 and Pin 2–3 form independent unidirectional clamps; Pins 1–2 with external series resistor enable bidirectional behavior. |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Confirms self-extinguishing polymer housing under flame exposure - required for end-equipment safety certifications. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during transients; improves margin for 5 V logic ICs with 6 V absolute max ratings. |
| ESD robustness (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact) | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - sufficient for handheld peripherals, industrial HMI, and medical device front panels. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PESD5V0S1BA,115 (Nexperia) | Single-line SOT-23 TVS; 5.0 V VRWM; 12.5 V VC @ 4 A; 120 pF capacitance. | Lower capacitance but only protects one line; requires two units for dual-line coverage. | Prefer when signal bandwidth >10 MHz or layout allows separate placement per line. |
| SMAJ5.0A (onsemi) | Single-line SMA package; 5.0 V VRWM; 9.2 V VC @ 15.2 A; 500 pF capacitance; higher power (400 W). | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm); higher capacitance limits use to sub-MHz signals. | Choose for higher surge energy handling where board space permits larger package. |
Compared with PESD5V0S1BA,115 and SMAJ5.0A, the SM05T1 uniquely delivers dual-line protection in SOT-23 with balanced clamping (9.8 V) and moderate capacitance (225 pF), making it optimal for space-constrained 5 V digital interfaces requiring coordinated line protection without added layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SM05T1 under IEC 61000-4-2 ESD stress?
The SM05T1 clamps to 9.8 V at 17 A peak pulse current (8 × 20 µs waveform), which corresponds to its specified IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge level of ±8 kV. This value is measured per line (Pin 1–3 or Pin 2–3) and remains consistent across temperature and lifetime when operated within datasheet limits. The SM05T1 maintains this clamping performance without degradation after repeated ESD events.
Can the SM05T1 be used for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes - the SM05T1 supports bidirectional protection by connecting both cathodes (Pins 1 and 2) to the same signal line and the common anode (Pin 3) to ground, with a series current-limiting resistor. This configuration leverages the symmetric zener characteristics of both junctions. However, the SM05T1 is primarily characterized and tested in unidirectional mode (Pin 1–3 and Pin 2–3), and bidirectional use requires validation of clamping symmetry in the target circuit.
What is the thermal resistance of the SM05T1 on a standard FR-5 PCB?
The SM05T1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 556 °C/W when mounted on a 1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch FR-5 board using the recommended SOT-23 footprint. This results in a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 225 mW at 25 °C ambient. Derating is linear at 1.8 mW/°C above 25 °C, meaning usable power drops to 135 mW at 75 °C ambient.
Does the SM05T1 meet UL 94 flammability requirements?
Yes - the SM05T1 package carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, verified per Underwriters Laboratories testing protocol. This confirms the thermosetting plastic case will self-extinguish within 10 seconds after flame removal and not drip flaming particles. The rating applies to the completed device and supports compliance for end equipment seeking UL/CSA certification.
How is the SM05T1 marked on the package?
The SM05T1 is laser-marked with "5M" on the top surface of the SOT-23 package, where "5" denotes the 5.0 V VRWM variant and "M" is the date code. This marking aligns with onsemi's standard SOT-23 labeling convention and matches the ordering information in the SM05T1/D datasheet. No additional logos or secondary identifiers appear on the device body.
