Product details
Overview
SMP30-62 from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional Trisil™ crowbar protection device designed for telecom line surge suppression, with 62 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 85 V dynamic breakover voltage (VBO), 30 A repetitive peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), and low 20 pF capacitance at 50 V - deployed in analog/digital line cards (xDSL, T1/E1) and terminal equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SMP30-62 datasheet, SMP30-62 pinout, SMP30-62 application, or SMP30-62 equivalent, key selection criteria include fail-safe short-circuit behavior under overvoltage, UL497B/UL94 V0 certification, compliance with GR-1089 Core and ITU-T K20/K21 lightning standards, and SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount compatibility.
Technical Context
The SMP30-62 operates as a voltage-triggered bidirectional thyristor, latching into low-impedance conduction once VBO (85 V typ.) is exceeded and maintaining conduction until current falls below IH (150 mA min.). Its fail-safe mode ensures permanent short-circuit behavior during end-of-life overstress, eliminating open-circuit failure risk.
Designed specifically for telecom AC-line transient protection, it meets multi-standard surge requirements including FCC Part 68 Type A (1500 V, 10/160 µs), IEC61000-4-5 (4 kV, 10/700 µs), and ITU-T K20 (6 kV, 10/700 µs), with thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 120 °C/W on FR4 PCB per recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 56 V max - defines maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 2 µA |
| Dynamic Breakover Voltage (VBO) | 85 V max - trigger threshold under transient surge (10/1000 µs), enabling fast crowbar action |
| Holding Current (IH) | 150 mA min - minimum current required to sustain conduction after triggering |
| Repetitive Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 30 A @ 10/1000 µs - rated surge handling capacity for repeated lightning transients |
| Junction Capacitance (C) | 20 pF typ. @ 50 V - low signal distortion for high-speed telecom lines (e.g., xDSL) |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 2 µA max @ VRM - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - JEDEC-registered surface-mount package with UL94 V0 epoxy and lead-free finish |
Pinout & Package
SMP30-62 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) package: 2-terminal bidirectional device with cathode/anode symmetry; no polarity marking required due to inherent bidirectionality. Dimensions: D = 2.25–2.90 mm, E = 4.80–5.35 mm, L = 0.75–1.50 mm, weight = 0.06 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional main terminals | Interchangeable terminals; conduction initiates when voltage magnitude exceeds |VBO| in either polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe short-circuit mode | Guarantees robust protection even after end-of-life overstress - no open-circuit failure risk |
| UL497B and UL94 V0 certified | Validated for telecom surge protection and flammability safety in end-equipment certifications |
| Low 20 pF capacitance @ 50 V | Preserves signal integrity on high-bandwidth lines (e.g., ADSL2+, VDSL2) |
| JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) package | Standardized SMT footprint compatible with automated assembly and IPC-7351 guidelines |
| No ageing degradation | Maintains stable VBO and leakage over lifetime - unlike MOVs or GDTs |

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 SP3062 | Same 62 V VRM, but higher VBO (90 V typ.), lower C (15 pF @ 50 V), and 25 A IPP rating | Preferred where lower capacitance is critical (e.g., VDSL2 >17 MHz), but requires revalidation of hold-on margin | Select if system design prioritizes signal bandwidth over surge margin |
| Bourns 2062-62 | 62 V VRM, 88 V VBO, 30 A IPP, but higher IR (5 µA max) and no UL497B listing | Suitable for non-certified industrial telecom gear; not approved for FCC Part 68 or UL1950 end-equipment | Select only for cost-sensitive internal systems lacking regulatory certification requirements |
Compared with SP3062 and 2062-62, SMP30-62 offers superior regulatory alignment (UL497B, UL94 V0), tighter VBO consistency (±3 V), and proven fail-safe behavior - making it optimal for certified telecom infrastructure where safety and standard compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SMP30-62 under catastrophic overvoltage?
Under irreversible overstress, SMP30-62 enters permanent short-circuit mode - confirmed by IFS rating of 2.5 kA (8/20 µs). This eliminates open-circuit failure, ensuring downstream circuitry remains protected even after device end-of-life, a critical requirement for UL1950 and IEC61000-4-5 compliance.
Can SMP30-62 be used in DC power line protection?
No - SMP30-62 is optimized for AC-coupled telecom line protection. Its holding current (150 mA min.) and lack of DC hold capability make it unsuitable for unidirectional DC bus clamping; use dedicated TVS diodes or resettable fuses for DC power rails instead.
How does SMP30-62 compare to MOV-based protection in telecom designs?
SMP30-62 offers faster response (<100 ns vs. ~500 ns for MOVs), no ageing drift, lower capacitance (20 pF vs. 100–500 pF), and guaranteed fail-safe shorting - whereas MOVs degrade with repeated surges and may fail open, compromising protection integrity in long-lifecycle telecom gear.
Is the SMA package of SMP30-62 compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - SMP30-62's SMA package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D, with maximum lead temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds. Thermal resistance Rth(j-l) = 30 °C/W ensures reliable heat dissipation during surge events when mounted per ST's recommended FR4 footprint.
