Product details
Overview
SMB6F130A from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a standoff voltage (VRM) of 130 V, clamping voltage (VCL) of 209 V at 3 A (10/1000 µs), dynamic resistance (RD) of 7 Ω, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed in industrial power supplies and telecom interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMB6F130A datasheet, SMB6F130A pinout, SMB6F130A application, or SMB6F130A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at rated surge current, low leakage (<0.2 µA @ 25 °C), flat SMB package thermal robustness, and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance for ESD and EFT immunity validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon technology to achieve low leakage current and high junction temperature capability (Tj max = 175 °C), enabling long-term reliability in thermally constrained environments. Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric clamping with forward conduction only during negative transients.
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) at 25 °C and sustains up to 470 W under worst-case thermal conditions (Tj = 175 °C). Clamping voltage rises linearly with surge current via defined dynamic resistance (RD = 7 Ω), allowing predictable overvoltage limiting in protected circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRM) | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before breakdown |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 209 V at 3 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - Surge energy handling capacity at 25 °C ambient |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 µA @ 25 °C - Minimal DC loading on high-impedance source lines |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 7 Ω - Slope of VCL vs. IPP curve; determines voltage rise per amp of surge current |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - Enables operation in automotive engine bays and industrial motor drives |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV (air/contact, IEC 61000-4-2) - Full Level 4 immunity without external shielding |
Pinout & Package
The SMB6F130A is housed in an SMB Flat package (JEDEC DO-214AA), measuring 3.95 mm × 5.60 mm × 1.10 mm with matte tin-plated leads. Its compact, low-profile form factor supports high-density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked band) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts during positive transients above VRM |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flat 1 mm profile | Enables use in space-constrained modules such as PoE injectors and DIN-rail PLCs |
| Low leakage (0.2 µA @ 25 °C) | Preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| High Tj rating (175 °C) | Eliminates derating in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components |
| IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4 compliance | Withstands 4 kV EFT bursts without degradation - suitable for industrial control cabinets |
| Planar silicon construction | Delivers stable VBR and RD over lifetime, critical for field-deployed infrastructure |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Telecom Line Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: DC input stage of 48 V telecom rectifiers exposed to lightning-induced surges on distribution lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed across input rails to clamp differential-mode transients before DC-DC converter. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤209 V during 3 A surge, preventing MOSFET gate oxide failure and maintaining downstream regulation integrity. | Use Scenario: RS-485 data lines in outdoor base stations subject to induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-side TVS on A/B bus pairs to suppress common-mode transients while preserving signal integrity. Use Value: Low capacitance (<100 pF at 10 V) avoids signal edge degradation; ±30 kV ESD rating ensures field-reliability without additional filtering. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Smart Meter AC/DC Power Entry |
Use Scenario: 12 V supply rail in BCM units subjected to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on main power input, coordinated with upstream fuse and LC filter. Use Value: Sustains 470 W surge power at 175 °C junction temperature, avoiding thermal runaway during repeated load-dump events. | Use Scenario: Mains-connected smart meters requiring IEC 61000-4-4/4-5 compliance for utility-grade surge immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection after MOV, absorbing residual fast-rising energy missed by bulk clamping. Use Value: Precise 130 V VRM aligns with 120 VAC-derived DC bus; 7 Ω RD enables accurate coordination with upstream varistor let-through voltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Same VRM (130 V), but 600 W rating at 25 °C only; no specified 175 °C derated power | Lacks documented high-temperature surge capability - unsuitable for under-hood or sealed enclosure use | Select SMB6F130A when sustained operation >125 °C is required |
| P6SMB130A | Identical SMB package and VRM, but higher VCL (214 V) and RD (7.5 Ω); 1 µA leakage @ 85 °C | Higher clamping voltage increases stress on downstream ICs; less optimal for low-voltage tolerant receivers | Select SMB6F130A where tighter clamping margin (<209 V) and lower leakage are critical |
Compared with SMBJ130A and P6SMB130A, SMB6F130A offers superior thermal derating (470 W @ 175 °C), lower leakage (0.2 µA @ 25 °C), and tighter clamping (209 V), making it preferred for high-reliability industrial and automotive power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB6F130A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 209 V at 3 A for a 10/1000 µs waveform, measured at 25 °C ambient. This value increases with junction temperature per the αT coefficient (10.8 × 10⁻⁴/°C), reaching ~225 V at 175 °C Tj.
Does SMB6F130A meet IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4 standards?
Yes - it exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV air/contact discharge) and meets IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4 (±4 kV EFT), verified per manufacturer test reports and certified in DS12898 Rev 2.
Can SMB6F130A be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No - it is strictly unidirectional. For bidirectional protection, ST recommends the SMB6F130CA variant (center-tapped, symmetrical clamping), not SMB6F130A. Using two SMB6F130A devices in series-opposed is not validated and risks uneven voltage sharing.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for SMB6F130A?
The official footprint is defined in Figure 13 of DS12898: pad length 3.44 mm (1.20 mm solder mask opening), width 1.20 mm, center-to-center spacing 5.84 mm - optimized for thermal dissipation and JEDEC-compliant reflow per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
