Product details
Overview
SMF90AT1G from onsemi is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD-123FL package, designed for clamping high-energy ESD and surge transients in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 90 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 111 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), and <1 ns response time - enabling robust protection for 75–100 V industrial power supplies, PoE interfaces, and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMF90AT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ system operating voltage, VC margin relative to load withstand rating, IEC61000-4-2/4-4 compliance, low-profile SOD-123FL footprint compatibility, and Pb-free reflow capability up to 260°C.
Technical Context
The SMF90AT1G operates as a unidirectional avalanche breakdown device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 100–105.5 V breakdown range (VBR @ IT = 1 mA). Its low zener impedance and fast <1 ns response ensure minimal overvoltage overshoot during 8/20 µs or 10/1000 µs transients.
It delivers 175 W peak pulse power (per 10/1000 µs waveform) and meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±16 kV HBM, ±30 kV air) and IEC61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns) immunity standards - validated under TL = 30°C with 1 mA test current and 1.25 V forward voltage at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 90 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed circuit's max DC or peak AC voltage. |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 100 / 105.5 / 111 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage with margin against tolerance drift. |
| VC @ IPP | 111 V @ 1.2 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; defines minimum safe withstand rating of downstream ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 175 W @ 10/1000 µs - Sustains high-energy surges common in industrial power line and PoE injector environments. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Limits voltage overshoot during ultrafast ESD events, critical for protecting sensitive analog front-ends and MCU I/O. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV); IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 - Validated protection against human-body and contact discharge per international immunity standards. |
| Package | SOD-123FL (Case 498) - 2.7 × 1.6 mm footprint, 1.0 mm max height; compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC Class 3 reflow profiles. |
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 peak reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., VBUS, CAN_H); reverse-biased during normal operation; conducts during overvoltage event. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; establishes return path for surge current; requires low-inductance PCB layout to minimize clamping voltage rise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SOD-123FL package | 1.0 mm max height enables use in space-constrained portable and automotive modules where board clearance is limited. |
| IEC61000-4-4 40 A surge capability | Withstands repetitive 40 A, 5/50 ns transients - suitable for industrial control inputs exposed to inductive switching noise. |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental regulations; matte Sn plating ensures solderability and eliminates lead-based contamination risk in medical/automotive BOMs. |
| 100% tested leakage current | IR ≤ 1 µA @ 90 V ensures negligible standby power loss in battery-powered systems and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing nodes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ90A | Same VRWM (90 V), but SMA package (larger footprint, 4.5 × 2.7 mm); 400 W peak power (10/1000 µs); higher thermal resistance (RJA = 50°C/W). | Better suited for high-reliability industrial power supplies where board space permits larger package and higher surge handling is required. | Select SMAJ90A only if >200 W surge rating is mandatory and SOD-123FL size constraint does not apply. |
| 1.5SMC90A | DO-214AB package (7.1 × 6.2 mm); 1500 W peak power; VRWM = 90 V; higher clamping voltage (VC = 129 V @ 12.3 A). | Targeted at mains-connected equipment (IEC 61000-4-5) requiring higher energy absorption, not portable or space-limited designs. | Choose 1.5SMC90A for AC/DC front-end protection where PCB area and thermal mass support larger package and higher VC is acceptable. |
Compared with SMAJ90A and 1.5SMC90A, SMF90AT1G provides optimal balance of compact SOD-123FL footprint, 175 W surge capability, and tight 111 V clamping - making it preferred for space-constrained 24–90 V DC systems where layout inductance and thermal mass are limited.

FAQ
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the SMF90AT1G?
The SMF90AT1G has a VRWM of 90 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under continuous reverse bias up to this voltage. This value is selected to exceed the maximum steady-state or peak operating voltage of the protected circuit - for example, in a 75 V industrial power rail - ensuring no leakage or premature conduction during normal operation while allowing headroom for tolerance and temperature drift.
Does the SMF90AT1G meet IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 standards?
Yes, the SMF90AT1G is rated for IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection (>16 kV contact, >30 kV air) and IEC61000-4-4 electrical fast transient (EFT) immunity (40 A, 5/50 ns). These ratings are verified per the manufacturer's characterization and appear in the official datasheet - confirming its suitability for end-equipment requiring compliance with these key electromagnetic immunity standards.
What is the maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the SMF90AT1G and at what current is it specified?
The SMF90AT1G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 111 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 1.2 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This VC value defines the highest voltage that will appear across the protected line during a surge event - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream components (e.g., DC-DC controllers, interface ICs) remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings.
Is the SMF90AT1G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SMF90AT1G uses 100% matte tin lead finish and is qualified for Pb-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C. It meets MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1), meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly - simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-volume SMT lines.
How does the SOD-123FL package of the SMF90AT1G compare to larger TVS packages like SMA or DO-214AB?
The SOD-123FL package of the SMF90AT1G measures 2.7 × 1.6 mm with 1.0 mm max height - significantly smaller than SMA (4.5 × 2.7 mm) or DO-214AB (7.1 × 6.2 mm). While it delivers lower total surge energy (175 W vs. 400 W or 1500 W), its compact size enables placement directly at connectors or IC inputs, minimizing parasitic inductance and improving clamping effectiveness in high-speed or space-constrained designs.
