Product details
Overview
SMP30-130 from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional Trisil™ crowbar protection device designed for telecom line surge suppression in analog/digital xDSL, T1/E1, and ISDN interfaces. It features a 130 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 173 V dynamic breakover voltage (VBO), 14 mA minimum holding current (IH), 30 A repetitive peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), and 30 pF typical capacitance at 50 V - enabling low-distortion, fail-safe short-circuit clamping in central office and terminal equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SMP30-130 datasheet, SMP30-130 pinout, SMP30-130 application, or SMP30-130 equivalent, this device is selected for telecom-grade transient protection where UL497B, GR-1089 Core, ITU-T K20/K21, and FCC Part 68 compliance are required - with emphasis on low capacitance, stable breakover threshold, and fail-safe short-circuit behavior under lightning surges.
Technical Context
The SMP30-130 operates as a voltage-triggered thyristor-based crowbar, latching into low-impedance conduction once VBO (173 V) is exceeded and maintaining conduction until current falls below IH (14 mA min). Its bidirectional symmetry enables AC line protection without polarity constraints.
It delivers robust surge handling per IEC61000-4-5 (4 kV, 10/700 µs), ITU-T K20 (6 kV, 10/700 µs), and FCC Part 68 Type A (1.5 kV, 10/160 µs), supported by thermal design validated to 150 °C junction temperature and 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance with recommended FR4 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 117 V max - defines maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 2 µA; sets operating margin below breakover. |
| Dynamic Breakover Voltage (VBO) | 173 V max - precise voltage threshold at which device triggers into low-impedance state during fast transients. |
| Holding Current (IH) | 14 mA min - minimum current required to sustain conduction after triggering; ensures reliable latch-down during surge decay. |
| Repetitive Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 30 A @ 10/1000 µs - validated surge current capacity for repeated lightning-induced transients without degradation. |
| Junction Capacitance (C) | 30 pF typ. @ 50 V - low signal distortion on high-speed telecom lines (e.g., xDSL up to 30 MHz). |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 2 µA max @ VRM - minimal standby power loss and negligible loading on protected line under normal operation. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - JEDEC-standard surface-mount package with UL94 V0 epoxy and lead-free construction. |
Pinout & Package
SMP30-130 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) package: molded epoxy body, cathode band marking, 2-terminal symmetrical configuration, compatible with standard reflow profiles (260 °C max lead temperature, 10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional trigger electrode | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no fixed polarity assignment required. |
| Cathode Band (marking) | Reference orientation indicator | Identifies terminal 1 per DO-214AC mechanical drawing; used for consistent PCB layout and automated assembly alignment. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe short-circuit mode | Latches into hard short upon overvoltage, preventing open-circuit failure and ensuring continued protection even after multiple surges. |
| UL497B certification (E136224) | Validated for primary-side telecom surge protection in FCC Part 68-compliant equipment without external coordination components. |
| Low 30 pF capacitance @ 50 V | Preserves signal integrity on broadband lines (e.g., ADSL2+, VDSL2) with <0.1 dB insertion loss up to 30 MHz. |
| GR-1089 Core Level 1 compliance | Withstands 2.5 kV (1000 A, 2/10 µs) and 2500 V (500 A, 10/1000 µs) surges - meets telco central office front-end requirements. |
| UL94 V0 epoxy housing | Self-extinguishing encapsulation prevents flame propagation in densely packed line card assemblies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar telecom crowbar protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SM30-130 (Littelfuse) | 130 V VRM, 175 V VBO, 30 A IPP, but 45 pF capacitance @ 50 V - 50% higher than SMP30-130. | Less suitable for >10 MHz DSL applications due to higher capacitive loading and degraded return loss. | Select SMP30-130 when signal bandwidth preservation is critical; SM30-130 may be acceptable for voice-grade T1 only. |
| P6SMB130A (ON Semiconductor) | Unidirectional TVS diode, 130 V VBR, 32.3 V clamping @ 10 A, no holding current or latch behavior. | Cannot provide fail-safe short-circuit mode; requires external current-limiting resistor and offers no crowbar latching. | Choose SMP30-130 for guaranteed fail-safe operation and self-sustaining clamping; P6SMB130A suits cost-sensitive, non-fail-safe designs. |
Compared with SM30-130 and P6SMB130A, SMP30-130 uniquely combines low 30 pF capacitance, precise 173 V VBO, and intrinsic fail-safe latching - making it optimal for broadband telecom line cards requiring both signal fidelity and unconditional surge survival.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SMP30-130 during surge events?
The SMP30-130 enters a low-impedance short-circuit state when triggered and remains latched until current drops below its 14 mA minimum holding current. Unlike TVS diodes, it does not reset automatically - ensuring continuous protection even after multiple surges and eliminating risk of open-circuit failure.
Can SMP30-130 be used without external current-limiting resistors?
No - SMP30-130 requires a series current-limiting resistor to ensure post-trigger current remains above IH (14 mA) during surge decay but below IFS (2.5 kA) to avoid destructive fusing. Typical values range from 10 Ω to 100 Ω depending on line impedance and surge waveform.
How does SMP30-130 differ from standard TVS diodes in telecom protection?
TVS diodes clamp transient voltage then reset; SMP30-130 acts as a crowbar - triggering at VBO and latching into short-circuit mode. This provides superior energy handling (30 A IPP vs. ~10–20 A for same-size TVS) and inherent fail-safe behavior mandated by GR-1089 Core Level 1.
Is SMP30-130 RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - SMP30-130 carries ST's ECOPACK®2 designation, confirming lead-free terminations, halogen-free molding compound, and full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.
