Product details
Overview
SMF30AT1 from onsemi is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 30 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 48.4 A maximum peak pulse current (IPP), 48.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPP, <1 ns response time, and 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is used to protect USB ports, DC power inputs, and microcontroller I/O pins against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMF30AT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, SOD−123FL package details, real-world use cases in portable electronics and industrial power supplies, and two validated alternative TVS diodes with documented parameter differences.
Technical Context
The SMF30AT1 operates as a zener-based unidirectional TVS, conducting only in reverse breakdown above VRWM = 30 V. Its clamping behavior is defined by VC = 48.4 V at IPP = 48.4 A under 10/1000 µs waveform, with low dynamic impedance ensuring predictable voltage limiting during transients.
It meets IEC61000−4−2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact / ±20 kV air) and IEC61000−4−4 (40 A, 5/50 ns) immunity standards. Thermal performance is specified with RθJA = 325°C/W on FR-4 board using recommended 8.45 mm² footprint, enabling 385 mW steady-state dissipation at TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 30 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without clamping |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) @ IT = 1 A | 33.3–36.8 V - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) @ IPP = 48.4 A | 48.4 V - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; defines safe margin for downstream ICs |
| Peak Pulse Power (Ppk) | 200 W @ 10/1000 µs - Sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump or industrial switching events |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Fast enough to limit sub-nanosecond ESD events before damage occurs to sensitive CMOS inputs |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >16 kV - Complies with Class 3 human-body-model requirements for handheld and portable equipment |
| Leakage Current (IR) @ VRWM | 1 µA max - Negligible standby power loss and no measurable impact on high-impedance sensor or reference circuits |

Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus inputs and switch sense lines in automotive body control modules subjected to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 and pulse 2a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional suppression on 12 V supply-referenced inputs, leveraging 30 V VRWM to avoid false triggering during battery transients. Use Value: Survives repeated 100 V/50 ms load-dump pulses while maintaining <1 µA leakage to ensure low-power sleep mode integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Same VRWM (30 V), higher VC = 48.4 V (identical), but lower IPP = 43.5 A and larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm vs. SOD−123FL's 2.7 × 1.7 mm) | Less suitable for space-constrained PCBs; requires larger pad layout and higher thermal mass | Select SMAJ30A only if legacy board design uses SMA footprint or higher surge margin beyond 48.4 A is unnecessary |
| 1.5SMC30A | Same VRWM (30 V), identical VC = 48.4 V, but significantly larger DO-214AB package (7.1 × 6.2 mm) and higher Ppk = 1500 W | Over-specified for consumer-grade ESD; introduces excessive parasitic inductance in high-frequency signal paths | Choose 1.5SMC30A only for industrial 1500 W surge environments where PCB area is not constrained |
Compared with SMAJ30A and 1.5SMC30A, the SMF30AT1 delivers optimal balance of compact SOD−123FL size, certified 200 W surge capability, and sub-1 ns response-making it the preferred choice for modern portable and automotive electronics where board space and signal fidelity are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMF30AT1 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF30AT1 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 48.4 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the manufacturer's datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMF30AT1 maintains this clamping performance consistently across its qualified temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Is the SMF30AT1 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the SMF30AT1 is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used on bidirectional lines such as RS-485 or CAN without external biasing. Its design allows conduction only in reverse breakdown (cathode-to-anode), making it appropriate for DC rails and single-ended signals referenced to ground. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ30CA or an external steering diode network would be required instead of the SMF30AT1.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the SMF30AT1 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The SMF30AT1 dissipates up to 385 mW continuously at TA = 25°C when mounted on FR-4 using the manufacturer-recommended minimum pad footprint. This value derives from its thermal resistance RθJA = 325°C/W and maximum junction temperature TJ(max) = 150°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient-e.g., ~250 mW at 70°C ambient-per the published derating curve in the SMF5.0AT1 Series datasheet.
Does the SMF30AT1 meet IEC61000−4−4 immunity requirements?
Yes, the SMF30AT1 is rated for 40 A surge current per IEC61000−4−4 (EFT/burst) testing at 5/50 ns waveform, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet. This certification validates its ability to suppress repetitive fast transients commonly induced by relay switching, motor commutation, and inductive load disconnection-making the SMF30AT1 appropriate for industrial control and power supply applications demanding robust EMC resilience.
How is polarity identified on the SMF30AT1 in the SOD−123FL package?
The SMF30AT1 uses a cathode-indicating polarity band printed on the device body near pin 1. In the SOD−123FL package, pin 1 is the cathode (transient current sink), and pin 2 is the anode (ground reference). The band aligns with the sprocket holes in the 8 mm tape-and-reel packaging, ensuring consistent orientation during automated pick-and-place assembly. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and matches the mechanical drawing in Case 498−01.
