Product details
Overview
1.5SMC24CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 21.6–26.4V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 19.4V working stand-off voltage (VWM). It clamps transients to ≤34.7V at 45A peak impulse current and meets AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC24CH datasheet, 1.5SMC24CH pinout, 1.5SMC24CH application, or 1.5SMC24CH equivalent, this device serves as a robust ESD and surge protection solution for bidirectional signal lines in automotive infotainment, industrial I/O, and telecom interfaces where fast response (<1.0ps), low leakage (<1µA @ VWM), and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance are required.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC24CH is a unidirectional/bidirectional TVS diode with glass-passivated junction and symmetrical clamping behavior in both polarities due to its CH suffix designation. Its thermal design supports 150°C maximum junction temperature and leverages DO-214AB's low RθJC of 15°C/W for effective transient energy dissipation.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C ambient range, exhibits <0.094%/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and maintains <1µA blocking leakage at 19.4V - enabling stable protection in high-impedance analog and digital signal paths without loading effects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 21.6V / 26.4V - defines reliable avalanche initiation window under 1mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on across temperature and unit variation |
| VWM | 19.4V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets safe margin below VBR for system-level signal integrity |
| VC @ IPPM | 34.7V at 45A - clamped voltage during 10/1000µs surge; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected ICs |
| PPK | 1500W - peak pulse power handling per single 1ms waveform; enables immunity to high-energy transients like load dump or lightning-induced surges |
| IR @ VWM | <1µA - ultra-low reverse leakage at rated stand-off voltage; avoids signal path degradation in precision sensor or communication circuits |
| TJ max | +150°C - maximum junction temperature rating; supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Response time | <1.0ps - sub-picosecond junction response; mitigates ESD events before downstream circuitry sustains damage |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with cathode band omitted (symmetrical terminals). Molding compound complies with UL 94V-0; matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA | 600W peak power rating (vs. 1500W); same DO-214AA package but lower surge capacity | Suitable for lower-energy ESD-only scenarios; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 or load dump | Select 1.5SMC24CH when automotive-grade 1500W surge immunity is mandatory |
| SMCJ24CA | Identical 1500W rating and DO-214AB package; VBR = 26.7–29.5V (wider tolerance than 1.5SMC24CH's 21.6–26.4V) | Higher VBR increases risk of false triggering near 24V rail; less precise clamping control | Choose 1.5SMC24CH for tighter VBR tolerance and guaranteed ≤34.7V clamping at 45A |
Compared with SMBJ24CA and SMCJ24CA, the 1.5SMC24CH delivers superior surge margin for automotive and industrial use cases through its combination of 1500W capability, narrow 21.6–26.4V VBR window, and AEC-Q101 qualification - ensuring robustness where transient energy and reliability requirements are most stringent.

FAQ
What does the 'CH' suffix indicate in 1.5SMC24CH?
The 'CH' suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the 1.5SMC24CH provides symmetrical transient suppression in both polarities without cathode marking. This differs from unidirectional 'H' variants and enables simplified layout on AC-coupled or differential signal lines where polarity reversal may occur.
Is 1.5SMC24CH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC24CH is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements - making it appropriate for under-hood, chassis, and infotainment systems. Its 1500W peak power rating and 150°C junction temperature rating support harsh automotive operating conditions.
What is the clamping voltage of 1.5SMC24CH at its rated peak current?
The 1.5SMC24CH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 34.7V at 45A peak impulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event.
How does the 1.5SMC24CH compare to unidirectional 1.5SMC24H in terms of electrical performance?
The 1.5SMC24CH and 1.5SMC24H share identical VBR (21.6–26.4V), VWM (19.4V), and VC (34.7V) specifications, but the CH version operates bidirectionally with no polarity dependence, whereas the H version requires correct anode/cathode orientation and only protects in one direction.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for 1.5SMC24CH?
The 1.5SMC24CH is supplied in DO-214AB (SMC) package on tape-and-reel format with 3,000 units per reel. The device features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and moisture sensitivity level 1 - enabling direct placement without baking.
