Product details
Overview
SMP30-220 from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional Trisil™ crowbar protection device in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for telecom line surge protection. It features 220 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 285 V dynamic breakover voltage (VBO), 10 mA minimum holding current (IH), 20 pF typical capacitance at 50 V, and 30 A repetitive peak pulse current (10/1000 µs). It is used in xDSL and ISDN line cards to clamp lightning-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMP30-220 datasheet, SMP30-220 pinout, SMP30-220 application, or SMP30-220 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified fail-safe short-circuit behavior under surge, UL497B and UL94 V0 certification, compliance with GR-1089 Core and ITU-T K20/K21 standards, and low-leakage operation below 2 µA at 198 V reverse bias.
Technical Context
The SMP30-220 operates as a voltage-triggered bidirectional thyristor, entering low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 285 V dynamic breakover threshold. Its fail-safe short-circuit mode ensures equipment remains protected even after multiple surges.
It is thermally rated for 150 °C junction temperature and exhibits 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with recommended FR4 footprint. Capacitance drops from 20 pF (at 50 V) to ~1.5× lower at higher reverse bias, preserving signal integrity on analog/digital telecom lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 220 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 2 µA; defines operating margin vs. line DC bias. |
| Dynamic Breakover Voltage (VBO) | 285 V - Voltage at which device triggers into conduction during fast transients (10/1000 µs); sets clamping threshold. |
| Holding Current (IH) | 10 mA min - Minimum current required to sustain conduction post-trigger; ensures reliable latching during surge decay. |
| Capacitance (C) | 20 pF typ. @ 50 V - Low parasitic capacitance preserves high-frequency signal fidelity on DSL/ISDN lines. |
| Repetitive Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 30 A @ 10/1000 µs - Sustained surge-handling capability per IEC61000-4-5 Level 3 requirements. |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 2 µA max @ 198 V - Ensures minimal power loss and noise injection during normal line operation. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - JEDEC-standard surface-mount package with UL94 V0 epoxy and lead-free finish. |
Pinout & Package
SMP30-220 uses a 2-terminal SMA (DO-214AC) package with cathode/anode symmetry enabling bidirectional protection. The device has no polarity marking; both terminals are functionally identical for AC line placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Triggered conduction terminal | One of two symmetrical terminals; initiates crowbar action when voltage across A–K exceeds VBO in either polarity. |
| Cathode (K) | Triggered conduction terminal | Second symmetrical terminal; completes low-impedance path during surge, forming bidirectional crowbar loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe short-circuit mode | Guarantees permanent low-impedance state after end-of-life surge, preventing open-circuit failure and maintaining line protection. |
| UL497B and UL94 V0 certified | Validated for telecom surge protection per FCC Part 68 and safety-compliant resin encapsulation for flame resistance. |
| Optimized for GR-1089 Core compliance | Meets first-level (2500 V/500 A) and intra-building (1500 V/100 A) surge requirements without external series resistor in many configurations. |
| Low 20 pF capacitance @ 50 V | Minimizes insertion loss and phase distortion on broadband xDSL lines up to 30 MHz, supporting ADSL2+ and VDSL2. |
Applications
| Analog Line Card Protection | Digital xDSL Line Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting POTS line interface circuitry in central office or remote terminal units against lightning-induced surges on twisted-pair copper loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional crowbar clamping device placed across line pair (tip/ring) to shunt >2 kV transients before they reach SLIC or codec ICs. Use Value: Prevents damage to sensitive analog front-end components while maintaining <2 µA standby leakage to avoid line detection errors. | Use Scenario: Surge suppression on VDSL2/ADSL2+ line drivers in customer premises equipment (CPE) such as DSL modems and gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage protector located between transformer secondary and line driver IC, operating symmetrically on differential pair. Use Value: 20 pF capacitance avoids signal degradation above 17 MHz, enabling full-bandwidth operation compliant with ITU-T G.993.2. |
| ISDN BRI Terminal Protection | FCC Part 68 Type A/B Compliance |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding ISDN basic rate interface (2B+D) ports in PBX extensions, fax machines, or digital telephones connected to public switched telephone network (PSTN). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated crowbar device mounted directly at RJ-45 connector, triggered only during >600 V transients per ITU-T K20/K21. Use Value: 220 V VRM provides 20% margin above nominal 170 V ISDN loop voltage, ensuring stable idle-state operation. | Use Scenario: Meeting mandatory FCC Part 68 lightning surge requirements for Class A (1500 V/200 A) and Class B (1000 V/25 A) telecom equipment certification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Certified UL497B primary protector enabling pass-through compliance testing without additional discrete components. Use Value: Eliminates need for external series impedance in many layouts due to intrinsic 30 A IPP rating and low thermal resistance (120 °C/W). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar telecom crowbar protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SPA1202 | Unidirectional, 120 V standoff, 150 V VBR, 100 A IPP (8/20 µs), TO-220 package | Requires back-to-back configuration for bidirectional protection; larger footprint and higher thermal mass | Select when higher single-pulse energy handling (>100 A) is needed and board space allows TO-220 mounting. |
| Bourns TISP4240M3JR-S | Bidirectional, 240 V standoff, 320 V VBO, 100 A IPP (10/1000 µs), SOT-23 package | Lower 100 pF capacitance but reduced surge lifetime; not UL497B certified | Prefer for compact designs where UL certification is secondary and peak current >30 A is critical. |
Compared with SMP30-220, SPA1202 offers higher surge current but lacks native bidirectionality and UL497B listing, while TISP4240M3JR-S provides smaller size and higher IPP but trades off long-term reliability and regulatory acceptance in carrier-grade telecom hardware.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SMP30-220 after end-of-life surge events?
Upon exceeding its I²t rating, SMP30-220 enters a permanent low-resistance short-circuit state-verified per UL497B-ensuring continued line protection rather than open-circuit failure. This behavior is inherent to Trisil™ thyristor physics and does not require external monitoring circuitry.
Does SMP30-220 require an external series resistor for GR-1089 Core compliance?
No external series resistor is required for GR-1089 Core First Level (2500 V/500 A) compliance when used with ST-recommended PCB layout and 2-layer FR4 board. The device's 30 A IPP and thermal design allow direct integration into line interface circuits without added impedance.
How does SMP30-220 capacitance affect xDSL signal integrity?
At 20 pF typical (measured at 50 V, 1 MHz), SMP30-220 introduces negligible insertion loss (<0.2 dB) up to 30 MHz, preserving ADSL2+ and VDSL2 spectral efficiency. Capacitance decreases further at higher reverse bias, reducing impact on high-frequency return loss.
Is SMP30-220 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes-SMP30-220 is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with maximum lead temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its ECOPACK®-compliant SMA package uses halogen-free, UL94 V0 epoxy and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
