Product details
Overview
1.5SMC130A-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 124 V / 137 V), 111 V standoff voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤179 V at 8.4 A peak pulse current, and delivers 1500 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 μs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T application, or 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy surge immunity in automotive power supplies, industrial motor drives, telecom line cards, and DC input protection where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (1.61), and AEC-Q101-qualified reliability are required.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR threshold (124–137 V at 1 mA test current). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1 μA at VWM = 111 V), while its SMC (DO-214AB) package supports automated placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements up to 260 °C.
It is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), has a thermal resistance of 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), and maintains operation across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. The cathode band denotes polarity, and its clamping performance is validated under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions per IEC 61000-4-5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation window for predictable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤179 V at 8.4 A - clamping voltage during 1500 W transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform, duty cycle ≤0.01 % |
| IFSM | 200 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine, critical for inductive load switching protection |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - surface-mount, low-profile package with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad thermal design |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, MSL Level 1 compliant. Cathode indicated by band on body; anode is unmarked end.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A-E3/52 | Lower peak power (600 W), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 85 °C/W) | Best suited for space-constrained, lower-energy circuits (e.g., USB port protection) | Select when board area is limited and surge energy does not exceed 600 W; verify thermal margin at full load. |
| 1.5KE130A | Through-hole DO-201 package, same VBR/VC specs but slower thermal recovery and no RoHS/E3 compliance | Used in legacy industrial controls where manual assembly and long-life stock are priorities | Choose only for through-hole designs requiring drop-in replacement; not suitable for automated SMT lines or AEC-Q101 programs. |
Compared with SMBJ130A-E3/52 and 1.5KE130A, the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T offers superior energy handling (1500 W vs. 600 W or 1500 W with inferior thermal profile), SMT compatibility, and automotive-grade qualification - making it optimal for new designs demanding high-reliability, high-power transient suppression in compact layouts.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T?
The 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T has a specified breakdown voltage range of 124 V to 137 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5.4 % tolerance around the nominal 130 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for predictable protection in safety-critical power rails.
Is the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T carries the "E3" suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU and exemption 7a, with lead content below 1000 ppm and no intentionally added restricted substances. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD 22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2.
Can the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T is strictly unidirectional, as confirmed by its "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional operation, Vishay specifies part numbers ending in "CA", such as 1.5SMC130CA. Using the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T in reverse-biased signal paths risks permanent conduction or failure due to lack of symmetrical avalanche structure.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T clamps to a maximum of 179 V when subjected to its rated 8.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for downstream component voltage derating - e.g., selecting a 200 V-rated capacitor on the protected rail.
Does the 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes - the "E3" suffix in 1.5SMC130A-E3/57T denotes Vishay's commercial-grade RoHS-compliant version, and per Document Number 88303, all "_A" variants in the 1.5SMC Series (including 1.5SMC130A) are AEC-Q101 qualified when ordered with HE3 or HM3 suffixes. While E3 itself is not automotive-qualified, the underlying die and construction are AEC-Q101 validated, enabling easy upgrade to HE3 for automotive programs.
