Product details
Overview
SMBG10A/54 from Littelfuse is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 10 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 11.1–12.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 17.0 V clamping voltage (VC) at 35.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in industrial power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG10A/54 datasheet, SMBG10A/54 pinout, SMBG10A/54 application, or SMBG10A/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AA (SMB) gull-wing package, low leakage (<5 µA at 10 V), fast response time (<1 ps), and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 surge immunity standards.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR, diverting surge current to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability across -55°C to +150°C operating range.
The device uses a modified J-bend lead frame variant of DO-214AA per JEDEC, optimized for automated SMT placement and thermal dissipation on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. It meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and supports high-temperature soldering (250°C/10 s).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 10 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 11.1–12.3 V at 1 mA test current - precise triggering threshold for transient clamping |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 17.0 V at 35.3 A IPPM - limits downstream component stress during 600 W surge events |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - defines maximum single-event energy absorption capability |
| Reverse Leakage (ID) | <5 µA at 10 V - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) gull-wing - industry-standard SMT footprint with 2.2 mm lead pitch and 0.95 mm profile |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) gull-wing surface-mount package: cathode indicated by color band; anode and cathode terminals are symmetrically arranged along the long axis for automated pick-and-place compatibility and thermal symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (non-banded end) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connects to protected line (e.g., VIN or signal trace) in unidirectional configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit point during clamping | Must be tied directly to low-impedance ground plane to minimize clamping overshoot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against lightning-induced surges on industrial I/O lines without derating |
| Clamping ratio (VC/VWM) = 1.7 | Minimizes overvoltage margin required for downstream ICs rated to 18 V absolute maximum |
| Response time <1 ps | Prevents ESD or fast transients from propagating past the device before clamping activates |
| UL 94V-0 plastic body | Meets flame-retardancy requirements for safety-critical power supply and transportation applications |
| High-temp soldering rated (250°C/10 s) | Survives standard reflow profiles without parameter shift or bond degradation |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Same VWM (10 V), identical DO-214AA package, but slightly higher VC (18.8 V vs. 17.0 V) | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 15 V systems; otherwise functionally interchangeable | Select SMBJ10A only if legacy design validation already covers 18.8 V clamping limit |
| SMCJ10A | Same electrical specs but in larger DO-214AB (SMC) package - 1.5× higher thermal mass and 1500 W PPPM | Requires PCB layout change; suited for higher-energy threats where SMBG10A/54 may experience wear-out | Choose SMCJ10A when system-level testing reveals repeated 600 W surges causing parametric drift in SMBG10A/54 |
Compared with SMBJ10A, SMBG10A/54 offers tighter clamping (17.0 V vs. 18.8 V) for improved downstream IC safety margin; compared with SMCJ10A, it provides identical protection in a space-constrained DO-214AA footprint but with lower single-pulse energy headroom.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG10A/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG10A/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.0 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 35.3 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and guarantees that downstream components see no more than 17.0 V during a full-power transient event. The SMBG10A/54 achieves this with a clamping ratio of 1.7 relative to its 10 V stand-off voltage.
Is SMBG10A/54 unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMBG10A/54 is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias during overvoltage events and blocks forward current like a standard diode. Its polarity is marked by a cathode band, and it must be oriented with the banded end toward ground. Unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., SMBG10CA), the SMBG10A/54 does not protect against positive-going transients on grounded lines.
What package type does SMBG10A/54 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
SMBG10A/54 uses the DO-214AA (SMB) gull-wing surface-mount package, with standardized 2.2 mm lead pitch and 0.95 mm maximum height. It is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per Littelfuse specification 101-0010, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
Can SMBG10A/54 replace SMBJ10A in an existing design?
Yes, SMBG10A/54 can replace SMBJ10A in most cases because both share identical DO-214AA packaging, 10 V stand-off voltage, and 1 mA breakdown test current. However, SMBG10A/54 clamps at 17.0 V versus SMBJ10A's 18.8 V - offering tighter protection. Verify board layout clearance and thermal relief, as SMBG10A/54 may run slightly cooler due to lower VC-induced power dissipation.
What is the maximum leakage current of SMBG10A/54 at its rated stand-off voltage?
The SMBG10A/54 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 µA at its rated 10 V stand-off voltage and 25°C ambient temperature. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 85°C), leakage remains below 25 µA - well within typical design margins for high-impedance sensor interfaces or battery-powered circuits. This low leakage is confirmed in Littelfuse's official SMBG datasheet revision 2023-09.
