Product details
Overview
SMF100AT1 from onsemi is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 100 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 123 V maximum clamping voltage at 162 A peak pulse current, and 200 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs waveform. Its SOD−123FL package enables compact placement in portable power supplies and USB interface protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMF100AT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, IEC61000−4−2/−4 compliance, thermal derating under repeated surge conditions, and footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SMF100AT1 operates as a zener-based avalanche clamp, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR = 111–123 V). Its <1 ns response time ensures suppression before sensitive downstream components experience overstress. The device sustains non-repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 162 A while limiting voltage to ≤123 V across the protected node.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 325°C/W (with recommended FR-4 pad), enabling 385 mW steady-state dissipation at 25°C ambient. Junction temperature must remain ≤150°C during operation; derating applies above 25°C per Figure 4. Mounting on thermally enhanced substrates (e.g., aluminum core) doubles power handling capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 111 V / 123 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; defines turn-on threshold tolerance |
| VC @ IPP | 123 V max @ 162 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case stress on protected IC |
| IPP | 162 A - Peak pulse current survivable at rated clamping voltage; defines surge energy capacity |
| Ppk (10/1000 µs) | 200 W - Peak pulse power handling; used to size TVS for IEC61000−4−4 40 A surge events |
| IR @ VRWM | 1 µA max - Reverse leakage at rated working voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Time from overvoltage onset to conduction; critical for protecting fast logic and data lines |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123FL surface-mount package: 2.5–2.9 mm length × 1.5–1.8 mm width × ≤1.0 mm height; cathode indicated by polarity band; 100% matte tin lead finish; MSL 1 rated; compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground; completes low-impedance path for transient energy dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| IEC61000−4−4 40 A Surge Immunity | Clamps 40 A 5/50 ns transients to ≤123 V-meets industrial power rail immunity requirements |
| Low Profile (≤1.0 mm height) | Enables use in ultra-thin consumer devices such as smartphones and wearables where Z-height is constrained |
| Small Footprint (8.45 mm²) | Minimizes PCB area usage-critical for space-constrained DC-DC converter input filtering and sensor interface protection |
| Tape-and-Reel Packaging (3,000/reel) | Supports automated SMT assembly with consistent orientation (cathode toward sprocket holes) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ100A | Same VRWM (100 V) and VC (123 V), but SMA package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 40°C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; better thermal mass for infrequent high-energy surges | Select SMAJ100A only if board space allows larger 4.5×2.7 mm package and thermal design prioritizes single-event energy absorption over density |
| 1.5SMC100A | Higher Ppk (1500 W), DO-214AB package, same VRWM/VC but 5× larger footprint and 3× higher leakage (5 µA) | Targeted at automotive alternator load dump; not optimized for portable ESD-sensitive systems | Choose 1.5SMC100A only for 12 V automotive systems requiring ISO 16750-2 compliance-not for space-constrained medical or consumer designs |
Compared with SMAJ100A and 1.5SMC100A, the SMF100AT1 delivers identical clamping performance in a 60% smaller footprint and 1 µA leakage-making it optimal for high-density, low-power, ESD-critical applications where board area and standby current matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF100AT1 under surge conditions?
The SMF100AT1 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 123 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 162 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and represents the worst-case voltage seen by downstream components during transient events, making it essential for verifying margin against IC absolute maximum ratings.
Does the SMF100AT1 meet IEC61000−4−2 and IEC61000−4−4 standards?
Yes, the SMF100AT1 is rated for IEC61000−4−2 Level 4 ESD protection (>16 kV contact discharge) and provides 40 A surge immunity per IEC61000−4−4. These capabilities are validated in the manufacturer's characterization and are intrinsic to its zener avalanche structure and low dynamic impedance-no external circuitry is needed to achieve compliance.
What is the thermal resistance and steady-state power dissipation of the SMF100AT1?
The SMF100AT1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 325°C/W when mounted on the recommended FR-4 footprint. At 25°C ambient, this yields a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 385 mW. Derating is required above 25°C per Figure 4 in the datasheet; at 85°C ambient, usable power drops to ~240 mW.
How is polarity identified on the SMF100AT1 SOD−123FL package?
The SMF100AT1 uses a cathode band (dark stripe) on the SOD−123FL package to indicate Pin 1 (cathode). During tape-and-reel packaging, the cathode end is oriented toward the sprocket holes-ensuring consistent placement in automated pick-and-place machines and correct orientation on the PCB.
Can the SMF100AT1 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the SMF100AT1 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with cathode tied to the protected line and anode to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC signal lines), a separate symmetric device like the SMBJ100A or a back-to-back configuration would be required-using SMF100AT1 in reverse bias risks permanent damage due to lack of forward conduction rating.
