Product details
Overview
SMF85AT1G from onsemi is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD-123FL package, designed for clamping high-energy transients in DC power rails and signal lines. It features 85 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 137 A maximum peak pulse current (IPP), and 104 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at IPP - enabling robust protection of 75–90 V systems such as industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF85AT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM margin over operating voltage, clamping voltage headroom relative to protected IC absolute maximum ratings, surge capability under IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A), and low-profile SOD-123FL footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SMF85AT1G operates as a unidirectional avalanche breakdown device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 94.4–104 V breakdown range (VBR). Its fast <1 ns response time ensures suppression before sensitive downstream circuitry sustains damage from ESD or lightning-induced surges.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±16 kV contact/±25 kV air) and IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns) immunity standards. Thermal design relies on low junction-to-cathode thermal resistance (26 °C/W) and MSL 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 85 V - Minimum reverse standoff voltage; must exceed max continuous DC rail voltage (e.g., 72 V telecom supply) to avoid leakage conduction during normal operation. |
| VBR @ IT=1 A | 94.4–104 V - Breakdown onset range; defines threshold where TVS begins conducting significantly to clamp transients. |
| VC @ IPP=137 A | 104 V - Maximum clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated 10/1000 µs surge; determines required voltage margin for downstream ICs. |
| IPP | 137 A - Peak pulse current handling per 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-4 compliance at 40 A with significant safety margin. |
| Leakage @ VRWM | 1 µA max - Ensures negligible power loss and no interference with high-impedance sensing or bias networks at rated working voltage. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - Validated for direct human-body discharge events without degradation, critical for handheld and field-serviceable equipment. |
| Package | SOD-123FL - 2.7 × 1.6 mm footprint, 1.0 mm max height; enables dense placement near connectors or IC power pins with minimal board area impact. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123FL surface-mount package with cathode indicated by polarity band; lead finish is 100% matte tin; qualified for MSL 1 and 260 °C reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to system ground or low-side reference; reverse-biased during normal operation; conducts surge current to ground when clamping. |
| 2 (Non-Banded End) | Anode | Connected to protected line (e.g., +85 V rail); carries transient energy into the device during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SOD-123FL | 1.0 mm max height enables use in ultra-thin consumer and telecom modules where Z-height is constrained. |
| 200 W peak pulse power | Rated for 200 W (10/1000 µs) per JEDEC standard - sufficient for EN 61000-4-5 line surge testing in secondary-side protection. |
| Fast <1 ns response | Clamps transients before propagation into ICs with nanosecond-scale input protection, preserving signal integrity in high-speed interfaces. |
| Pb-Free (RoHS-compliant) | Matte Sn lead finish meets global environmental regulations and supports lead-free assembly without solderability compromise. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Telecom DC Feeder Line Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85A | Same VRWM (85 V) and VC (104 V), but SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm) - 2.8× larger footprint and 2.2 mm height. | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; better thermal dissipation in high-repetition surge environments. | Select SMAJ85A only if board space allows larger package and higher steady-state power handling is needed. |
| P6SMB85A | Higher Ppk (600 W vs. 200 W), DO-214AA package (4.5 × 3.2 mm), 2.2 mm height; VRWM = 85 V, VC = 119 V (15% higher). | Used in primary-side AC/DC input stages; clamping voltage marginally exceeds SMF85AT1G's, reducing protection effectiveness for tight-margin ICs. | Choose P6SMB85A for higher-energy surge environments where 119 V clamping is acceptable and board area permits larger package. |
Compared with SMAJ85A and P6SMB85A, the SMF85AT1G delivers identical 85 V standoff and 104 V clamping in a 60% smaller footprint - making it optimal for space-limited secondary-side protection where fast response and low profile are prioritized over ultimate surge energy absorption.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the SMF85AT1G?
The SMF85AT1G has a VRWM of 85 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under normal operation up to this DC or continuous peak reverse voltage. This value ensures compatibility with 72–80 V nominal systems like telecom DC feeds and industrial 24 V/48 V upgrades, while providing sufficient margin above operating voltage to prevent leakage-related power loss or false triggering.
How does the SMF85AT1G compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
The SMF85AT1G is unidirectional and optimized for DC rail protection where only positive transients occur - such as in +85 V power distribution. Unlike bidirectional devices, it offers lower capacitance and tighter clamping tolerance in the forward direction, but cannot suppress negative-going surges. For AC or dual-polarity lines, a bidirectional variant like SMBJ85CA would be required instead of the SMF85AT1G.
Is the SMF85AT1G suitable for IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) compliance testing?
Yes, the SMF85AT1G is rated for 40 A per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50 ns burst), verified in onsemi's characterization. Its 137 A IPP and 104 V VC ensure reliable clamping during repetitive 40 A bursts without degradation, making it appropriate for front-end protection in industrial controllers and telecom line cards undergoing formal EFT certification using the SMF85AT1G.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMF85AT1G and how does it affect layout?
The SMF85AT1G has a junction-to-cathode thermal resistance (RJcathode) of 26 °C/W. This low value allows efficient heat transfer to the cathode pad, so PCB layout should maximize copper area connected to the cathode terminal - ideally ≥25 mm² of 1 oz copper - to sustain repeated surges without exceeding 150 °C junction temperature, especially in enclosed or high-ambient environments where the SMF85AT1G operates.
Does the SMF85AT1G require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, the SMF85AT1G's peak pulse power must be derated above 25 °C ambient, per Figure 4 in the datasheet. At 85 °C, its 200 W rating drops to ~140 W; at 125 °C, it falls to ~80 W. Designers must verify worst-case ambient + self-heating in the final layout to ensure the SMF85AT1G maintains adequate surge margin - particularly in sealed enclosures or stacked PCB assemblies where airflow is limited.
