Product details
Overview
1.5SMC22CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 22V breakdown voltage (19.8–24.2V), and clamping voltage of 31.9V at 49A peak impulse current. It protects automotive and industrial electronics against ESD, lightning surges, and load-switch transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC22CH datasheet, 1.5SMC22CH pinout, 1.5SMC22CH application, or 1.5SMC22CH equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified bidirectional clamping, <1.0ps response time, <1μA leakage above 17.8V, and UL 94V-0 molded case - critical for robust front-end protection in CAN/LIN bus nodes, power supply inputs, and sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, with breakdown voltage specified at 1mA test current and clamping defined at 49A (10/1000μs waveform). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR temperature coefficient (0.092%/°C) and low leakage (<1μA @ 17.8V).
Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 50°C/W and RθJC = 15°C/W, supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150°C. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity - enabling high-yield reflow assembly without preconditioning.
Key Specifications

| Package | DO-214AB (SMC) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 7.11mm x 6.22mm footprint and matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) package: molded epoxy case with cathode band marking (bidirectional symmetry means no polarity orientation required; cathode band denotes terminal identification only for unidirectional variants - not functional in 1.5SMC22CH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional surge path | Both terminals function identically as clamping nodes - no DC polarity dependency; connects across protected line-to-line or line-to-ground |
| Case (exposed metal pad) | Thermal conduction path | Not electrically connected; serves as heatsink interface - requires thermal pad on PCB for optimal RθJA performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package; lower PPK = 600W; VC = 35.5V @ 17A; higher RθJA = 65°C/W | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (1500W requirement) | Select only if system-level surge testing confirms ≤600W threat level and thermal margin allows higher junction temp rise |
| SMCJ22CA (Littelfuse) | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package; identical PPK = 1500W; VC = 33.2V @ 45.3A; AEC-Q101 qualified but different VBR tolerance (5% vs. 1.5SMC22CH's 10%) | Compatible with same PCB layout; slightly higher clamping may impact margin for 3.3V/5V logic interfaces | Drop-in replacement where tighter VBR tolerance is not required; verify clamping margin against protected IC absolute maximum ratings |
Compared with SMBJ22CA and SMCJ22CA, the 1.5SMC22CH delivers optimal balance of high-power handling, low clamping voltage, and automotive-grade reliability in the standard SMC footprint - making it preferred for ISO 7637-2-compliant designs where board space and thermal performance are constrained.

FAQ
What does the "CH" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC22CH?
The "CH" suffix in 1.5SMC22CH designates a bidirectional configuration with symmetrical clamping characteristics in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional "H" variants, the CH version has no anode/cathode distinction and is marked without a polarity band - enabling flexible placement across differential lines or line-to-ground paths without orientation concerns. This makes 1.5SMC22CH ideal for protecting balanced interfaces like RS-485 or LIN bus.
How does 1.5SMC22CH meet ISO 7637-2 requirements?
1.5SMC22CH is explicitly tested and rated to withstand all five ISO 7637-2 transient pulses: Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling). Its 1500W peak power rating, 31.9V clamping voltage at 49A, and fast <1.0ps response ensure voltage excursions remain within safe limits for protected ICs during these standardized automotive surge events - confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's qualification report B2207.
Is 1.5SMC22CH compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, 1.5SMC22CH is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and JEDEC J-STD-002B solderability standards. Its matte tin-plated leads achieve >95% wetting coverage on OSP and ENIG PCB finishes, and the UL 94V-0 epoxy compound withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds without delamination or parametric shift - validated in TSC's process compatibility documentation.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1.5SMC22CH?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) for 1.5SMC22CH is 6.5W at TA = 25°C, derating linearly above that ambient temperature per the published thermal curve. This value reflects continuous DC or low-frequency leakage power handling - distinct from its 1500W peak pulse rating. Designers must ensure PCB copper area and airflow maintain junction temperature ≤150°C under worst-case static bias conditions.
Does 1.5SMC22CH require a heatsink for typical automotive applications?
No external heatsink is required for 1.5SMC22CH in typical automotive applications, provided the PCB includes a minimum 100 mm² copper pour connected to both terminals per TSC's recommended pad layout. With RθJA = 50°C/W and RθJC = 15°C/W, this layout sustains full 1500W pulse capability at TA ≤ 85°C. For sustained high-temperature environments (>105°C ambient), additional thermal vias to inner ground planes are recommended to maintain 1.5SMC22CH junction safety margin.
