Product details
Overview
SMF11AT1 from onsemi is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD−123FL package, designed for overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 11 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 18.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 11.0 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 200 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for protecting USB ports, I/O lines, and DC power rails in portable consumer devices.
For engineers reviewing the SMF11AT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers sub-1 ns response time, <2.5 µA reverse leakage at VRWM, Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), and low-profile surface-mount compatibility with 1.0 mm max height - critical for space-constrained, high-reliability board-level surge protection.
Technical Context
The SMF11AT1 operates as a Zener-based unidirectional TVS, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 12.2–13.5 V breakdown range (VBR @ IT = 1 mA). Its clamping action limits transient energy to ≤18.2 V under 11.0 A 10/1000 µs pulses, maintaining system integrity during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
Thermally, it uses a void-free thermosetting plastic case rated MSL 1, with 26 °C/W junction-to-cathode thermal resistance and 325 °C/W junction-to-ambient (on FR-4 with recommended footprint). It supports reflow up to 260 °C for 10 s and operates from −55 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 11 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system voltage margin for safe operation. |
| VBR (min/max) | 12.2 V / 13.5 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed Zener breakdown range; ensures predictable turn-on threshold across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPP | 18.2 V @ 11.0 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; defines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| IPP | 11.0 A - Peak pulse current capability at rated clamping voltage; determines survivability against IEC61000-4-4 40 A surge events. |
| IR @ VRWM | ≤2.5 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage at operating voltage; avoids parasitic loading on low-power sensor or battery-backed circuits. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Enables suppression of fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD contact discharge) before damage occurs to CMOS inputs. |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM (Class 3), IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 - Validated immunity to human-body-model and system-level electrostatic discharge events. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123FL surface-mount package: 2-terminal, low-profile (max height 1.0 mm), footprint area 8.45 mm², cathode indicated by polarity band. Compliant with JEDEC MO-203AA, MSL 1, and 260 °C reflow capable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line (e.g., USB D+); carries full surge current to ground during clamping event. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground plane; must maintain low-inductance path to handle fast di/dt without voltage overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-clamp architecture | 18.2 V VC at 11.0 A ensures downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic remains within absolute maximum ratings during surge. |
| Sub-1 ns response | Enables protection of high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 2.0, HDMI) where transients exceed 100 V/ns slew rate. |
| Class 3 ESD robustness | Withstands >16 kV contact discharge per HBM, eliminating need for external ESD diodes in handheld product designs. |
| Small-footprint SOD−123FL | 8.45 mm² area and 1.0 mm height allow placement directly at connector entry points without PCB real estate penalty. |
| High surge reliability | Rated for 200 W (10/1000 µs) and 1000 W (8/20 µs) pulses - supports industrial-grade IEC61000-4-4 compliance testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ11A | Same VRWM (11 V) and VC (18.2 V), but SMA package (larger footprint, 2.5 mm height). | Less suitable for ultra-thin mobile designs; better thermal dissipation in high-ambient industrial enclosures. | Choose SMAJ11A when board space allows and higher steady-state power handling (500 W Ppk) is needed. |
| P6SMB11A | Higher Ppk (600 W), DO-214AA package, 19.9 V VC @ 10.1 A - looser clamping tolerance. | Used in legacy AC/DC adapter outputs; not optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts. | Choose P6SMB11A only if legacy footprint reuse is mandatory and clamping voltage margin permits 19.9 V. |
Compared with SMAJ11A and P6SMB11A, the SMF11AT1 provides the smallest form factor and tightest clamping (18.2 V), making it optimal for modern compact electronics where board area and voltage headroom are constrained - though its 200 W rating requires careful surge duty-cycle management.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMF11AT1 under maximum rated surge current?
The SMF11AT1 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPP) of 11.0 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation per the onsemi datasheet, ensuring downstream circuitry remains within safe operating voltage limits during transient events.
Is SMF11AT1 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - the SMF11AT1 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC-biased or ground-referenced lines like power rails or single-ended data paths. For bidirectional applications such as RS-485 or AC-coupled interfaces, a symmetric (bidirectional) TVS like SMBJ11CA would be required instead of SMF11AT1.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMF11AT1 at its working voltage?
At its working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 11 V and TA = 25°C, the SMF11AT1 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 2.5 µA. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal impact on battery life and signal integrity in always-on, low-power systems where the SMF11AT1 is deployed.
Can SMF11AT1 withstand IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD events?
Yes - the SMF11AT1 is rated for Class 3 Human Body Model (>16 kV) and meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air) ESD requirements. Its sub-1 ns response time and low clamping voltage ensure effective protection of sensitive inputs without system upset when integrated per layout guidelines in the onsemi application notes.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of SMF11AT1 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
On a standard FR-4 board with the recommended SOD−123FL footprint, the SMF11AT1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 325 °C/W, yielding a DC power dissipation limit of 385 mW at 25°C ambient. Derating applies above 25°C per the datasheet curve - critical for sustained surge duty cycles or high-temperature environments.
