Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB22AT3G from onsemi is a unidirectional 600 W peak power Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMB package, designed for parallel overvoltage clamping in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 22 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 25.65 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, and clamps to ≤35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for automotive power supply protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB22AT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system operating voltage, peak pulse current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuits, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The SZ1SMB22AT3G operates as a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode, leveraging avalanche breakdown to clamp transients above VRWM = 22 V. Its low zener impedance and <1.0 ns response time enable fast suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges without affecting normal circuit operation.
It is rated for 600 W peak power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports 100 A forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits <5.0 µA leakage at VRWM. Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (RJL = 25 °C/W) and maximum junction temperature of +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC rail voltage. |
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 24.4 V / 25.65 V / 26.9 V @ IT = 1.0 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on within defined tolerance band during surge events. |
| VC @ IPP | 35.5 V @ 16.9 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs transient; defines safe overvoltage ceiling. |
| PPK | 600 W @ 1 ms - Peak transient energy absorption capacity; determines survivability against high-energy surges. |
| IR @ VRWM | 5.0 µA max - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and low-power systems. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ns - Enables suppression before sensitive downstream components experience damaging overvoltage. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - Meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements for automotive and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount, Pb-free, void-free thermosetting plastic with modified L-bend leads and cathode polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional clamping configuration. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during reverse breakdown | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); polarity band identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features

| UL 497B recognized | Approved for isolated loop circuit protection per Underwriters Laboratories, covering strike voltage, endurance, and dielectric withstand. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs while maintaining sufficient margin above VRWM. |
| Surmetic™ package | ON Semiconductor's proprietary molded construction ensures robust thermal performance and solder joint reliability at 260 °C for 10 s. |
| 100 A IFSM rating | Withstands repetitive inrush or fault currents without degradation, supporting robust front-end protection in power supplies. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial PLC Digital Input 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Same VRWM (22 V), but lower PPK = 400 W and higher VC = 36.2 V @ 11.1 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance). | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for automotive load dump where 600 W capability is required. | Choose SMAJ22A only when board space is constrained and surge threat level is below ISO 7637-2 Level III. |
| 1.5SMC22A | Same VRWM and PPK (600 W), but larger SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm vs. SMB 4.6 mm × 3.6 mm); identical electrical specs except Ctyp = 650 pF vs. 730 pF. | Better thermal dissipation in high-ambient environments; requires larger PCB area and different footprint. | Select 1.5SMC22A when sustained surge repetition or elevated ambient temperatures (>105 °C) demand superior thermal performance. |
Compared with SMAJ22A and 1.5SMC22A, the SZ1SMB22AT3G delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge handling, compact SMB footprint, AEC−Q101 qualification, and UL 497B recognition-making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial control designs requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SZ1SMB22AT3G at its rated peak pulse current?
The SZ1SMB22AT3G clamps to a maximum of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 16.9 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per the test conditions specified in the official onsemi datasheet and reflects the actual voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge events. The SZ1SMB22AT3G maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZ1SMB22AT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SZ1SMB22AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional signal line protection such as RS-485 or USB data lines without additional circuitry. Its design allows conduction only in reverse breakdown (cathode-to-anode) and conducts forward like a standard diode. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional part such as SZ1SMB22CAT3G or SMBJ22CA must be used. The SZ1SMB22AT3G datasheet explicitly specifies "Uni−Directional TVS" in its device identification.
Does SZ1SMB22AT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SZ1SMB22AT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems. The "SZ" prefix denotes parts manufactured under automotive-specific process controls and traceability requirements. Certification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness, all validated per the AEC−Q101 standard. The SZ1SMB22AT3G is listed in onsemi's official AEC−Q101 qualified parts list.
What is the maximum leakage current of SZ1SMB22AT3G at its working voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of SZ1SMB22AT3G is 5.0 µA when biased at its working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 22 V and tested at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. The value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per the test method defined in the onsemi datasheet section "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS".
Can SZ1SMB22AT3G be used in place of a standard Zener diode for voltage regulation?
No, SZ1SMB22AT3G is not intended for steady-state voltage regulation. It is optimized for transient suppression-not continuous power dissipation-and lacks tight Zener voltage tolerance or low dynamic impedance under DC bias. Its 24.4–26.9 V breakdown range and 600 W peak rating reflect surge-handling capability, not regulation accuracy. Using SZ1SMB22AT3G as a regulator risks thermal runaway and premature failure. For regulation, use purpose-built Zener diodes such as MMSZ4687 or BZX84-C22, which specify DC power ratings and tighter VZ tolerances.
