Product details
Overview
SMF40AT1G from onsemi is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD-123FL package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against ESD and surge transients. It features a 40 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 49.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 64.5 A peak pulse current (IPP), and <1 ns response time - ideal for input/output line protection in power supplies and portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the SMF40AT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, IEC61000-4-2/4-4 compliance, and SOD-123FL board space constraints in high-density layouts.
Technical Context
The SMF40AT1G operates as a unidirectional avalanche breakdown device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 44.4–49.1 V breakdown range (VBR). Its low zener impedance and fast sub-nanosecond response enable effective suppression of 8/20 µs surges up to 1000 W (non-repetitive) and 200 W (10/1000 µs).
It meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±16 kV contact, ±15 kV air) and IEC61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns) standards. Thermal resistance is 325 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 PCB), with MSL 1 reflow rating and Pb-free matte tin lead finish.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 40 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must be ≥ circuit's DC or peak AC rail voltage. |
| VBR @ IT=1 A | 44.4–49.1 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; defines turn-on threshold consistency. |
| VC @ IPP=64.5 A | ≤64.5 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| IPP (10/1000 µs) | 64.5 A - Peak surge current the device safely clamps without failure; correlates directly to energy handling (200 W). |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Enables protection of high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB, HDMI) before transient energy reaches protected ICs. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - Validated for robustness against human-body model discharges in handheld and benchtop equipment. |
| Package | SOD-123FL - Surface-mount, low-profile (1.0 mm max height), 8.45 mm² footprint; compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123FL is a two-terminal surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Mounting position is unrestricted; qualified for 260°C reflow (MSL 1). Lead finish is 100% matte tin; epoxy meets UL 94 V-0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to protected line's higher-potential side (e.g., VBUS, signal high); clamping occurs when voltage exceeds VRWM. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes conduction path during transient events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC61000-4-4 Compliance | Rated for 40 A surge (5/50 ns), enabling use in industrial control inputs exposed to switching noise and inductive kickback. |
| Low Clamping Ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.45 - Tight ratio ensures minimal overvoltage overshoot during clamping, critical for protecting 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | SMF40AT1G suffix confirms matte Sn lead finish and exemption from lead-based solder requirements per EU RoHS Directive. |
| Small Footprint & Low Profile | 8.45 mm² area and ≤1.0 mm height allow placement near connectors or IC pins in space-constrained mobile and IoT designs. |
| Tape & Reel Packaging | 3000 units/reel (8 mm tape) supports automated SMT assembly with cathode oriented toward sprocket holes for consistent placement. |
Applications
| USB Power Input Protection | DC Power Supply Rail Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB Type-C VBUS lines (5 V nominal) from hot-plug transients and ESD events during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between VBUS and GND, clamping surges before they reach USB controller or PMIC. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or damage to 5 V tolerant USB PHYs by limiting VBUS to ≤64.5 V during 64.5 A surges, while occupying minimal PCB area. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 48 V telecom power supply outputs against lightning-induced surges and load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on regulated output rail, coordinated with upstream MOVs and fuses for multi-stage protection. Use Value: Withstands 200 W (10/1000 µs) surges and maintains VRWM ≥40 V, ensuring compatibility with 48 V systems where derating allows 40 V minimum standoff. |
| Industrial Sensor Interface Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Inputs |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding analog sensor inputs (e.g., 0–10 V pressure transducers) from ESD and cable discharge events in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed at connector entry point, referenced to local analog ground. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response prevents transient coupling into precision ADC front-ends; low leakage (<1 µA @ 40 V) avoids signal offset errors. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus or switch inputs in automotive BCMs exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/3a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamp on 12 V supply or signal lines, selected for VRWM >13.5 V nominal battery voltage. Use Value: Rated for -55°C to +150°C operation and qualified to AEC-Q101; clamps 40 A pulses (IEC61000-4-4) without degradation in underhood environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ40A | DO-214AC package (larger footprint, 2.5 mm height), 400 W peak power (10/1000 µs), same VRWM and VC. | Preferred where higher surge rating is required and board space permits larger package; less suitable for ultra-thin portable designs. | Select SMAJ40A if 400 W surge capability is mandatory and SOD-123FL size constraint does not apply. |
| 1.5SMC40A | DO-214AB package (5.3 mm × 4.5 mm), 1500 W peak power (10/1000 µs), higher thermal mass, same VRWM/VC specs. | Used in high-energy industrial power systems where PCB layout accommodates larger footprints and higher reliability margins are needed. | Choose 1.5SMC40A only when >200 W surge handling is required and SOD-123FL's compactness is not critical. |
Compared with SMAJ40A and 1.5SMC40A, the SMF40AT1G delivers identical electrical protection performance in a significantly smaller SOD-123FL package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-volume consumer and portable electronics where 200 W surge immunity suffices.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the SMF40AT1G?
The SMF40AT1G has a VRWM of 40 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage level under normal operation. This value is critical for selecting a TVS that avoids leakage or false triggering on circuits with nominal 36–40 V rails, such as 48 V telecom systems with derating. The SMF40AT1G will begin clamping only when transient voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range (44.4–49.1 V).
Does the SMF40AT1G meet IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 standards?
Yes, the SMF40AT1G is rated for IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection (>16 kV contact discharge) and IEC61000-4-4 surge immunity (40 A, 5/50 ns waveform). These certifications are validated per onsemi's official datasheet and confirm suitability for end-equipment requiring compliance with international EMC standards - including consumer electronics, industrial HMIs, and automotive body electronics where the SMF40AT1G serves as first-line transient defense.
What is the maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the SMF40AT1G at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMF40AT1G exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.5 V when subjected to its rated 64.5 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This VC value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. Designers must ensure downstream components (e.g., USB controllers, LDOs) have absolute maximum voltage ratings exceeding 64.5 V to prevent damage - a key validation step when using the SMF40AT1G in system-level protection schemes.
Is the SMF40AT1G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SMF40AT1G is Pb-free and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C, meeting J-STD-020 MSL 1 requirements. Its matte tin lead finish ensures reliable wetting and intermetallic formation during standard SAC305 reflow profiles. The "G" suffix explicitly denotes this Pb-free construction, making the SMF40AT1G compliant with RoHS directives and suitable for modern high-volume SMT assembly lines without process modification.
How does the SOD-123FL package of the SMF40AT1G compare to DO-214AC in terms of board space and thermal performance?
The SOD-123FL package of the SMF40AT1G occupies just 8.45 mm² with a maximum height of 1.0 mm - roughly 60% smaller in footprint and half the height of the DO-214AC (SMAJ series). Thermally, its junction-to-ambient resistance is 325 °C/W on FR-4 (with recommended pad), versus ~150 °C/W for DO-214AC. Thus, while the SMF40AT1G saves significant PCB area, designers must verify thermal limits under sustained surge conditions or high ambient temperatures, especially when replacing larger-package alternatives like SMAJ40A with the SMF40AT1G.
