Product details
Overview
1.5SMC130A-M3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection. It features a 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 124 V / 137 V), 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and clamps transients to ≤179 V at 8.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T application, or 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500 W peak pulse power rating, halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 suffix, AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for fast response (<1 ns) and stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions. Its thermal design supports operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, with RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, enabling reliable performance on minimal copper pad layouts (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm per terminal).
The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T complies with UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤260 °C). It is rated for non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge current up to 200 A (IFSM) and exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.107 %/°C - critical for precision overtemperature stability in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤179 V at 8.4 A (10/1000 μs) - actual clamped voltage during worst-case surge, limiting downstream stress |

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 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB (DO-214AA) package, same VBR range but higher VC (193 V @ 3.1 A) | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a or IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify clamping margin with system-level testing |
| 1.5KE130A | Through-hole TO-204AE (DO-201AE) package, identical electrical specs but incompatible with SMT assembly | Requires wave soldering or hand-soldering; not viable for automated production or compact designs | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where rework tolerance outweighs volume manufacturing needs |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T delivers 2.5× higher surge power in an SMT-compatible footprint, enabling automotive-grade protection without layout redesign or process change - critical for new ECU and industrial drive platforms.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T under maximum surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T 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 measured at TA = 25 °C on specified 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T itself carries the halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 suffix and meets MSL Level 1 and UL 497B requirements, but AEC-Q101 qualification requires the HM3 suffix variant (e.g., 1.5SMC130AHM3_A/H). The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T shares identical electrical and thermal characteristics with its HM3 counterpart - only the qualification documentation and traceability differ. For production automotive use, specify the HM3 version; the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T remains suitable for industrial and telecom applications.
How does the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like 1.5SMC130CA?
The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, supporting DC-biased protection where reverse conduction must be blocked. In contrast, 1.5SMC130CA is bidirectional with symmetric clamping in both directions and no polarity marking. The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T offers lower leakage (<1.0 μA at 111 V) and is preferred for power rail protection; the CA version suits AC-coupled signal lines or differential buses where polarity reversal occurs. Both share identical PPPM, VBR, and package.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T?
The 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads. Its maximum operating junction temperature is +150 °C, allowing reliable operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the datasheet show usable power dissipation down to ~3.5 W at 100 °C ambient.
Can the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T replace older through-hole TVS diodes like 1N6287 in new designs?
Yes - the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T provides equivalent electrical performance (VBR, VC, PPPM) to the through-hole 1N6287 but in a surface-mount SMC package, enabling automated assembly and reduced PCB area. While pinout and mounting differ, the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T's 1500 W rating, 179 V clamping, and 200 A IFSM match or exceed 1N6287 specs. Layout adaptation is required, but no electrical redesign is needed; the 1.5SMC130A-M3/57T is a direct functional upgrade for modern SMT production.
