Product details
Overview
1.5SMC24H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 24V nominal breakdown voltage (21.6–26.4V), 1500W peak pulse power rating, 34.7V maximum clamping voltage at 45A surge current, and DO-214AB (SMC) package. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive load-dump and switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC24H datasheet, 1.5SMC24H pinout, 1.5SMC24H application, or 1.5SMC24H equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge immunity in automotive body control modules, industrial I/O interfaces, and telecom power supply inputs where fast response (<1.0 ps), low leakage (<1 µA @ 19.4V), and stable thermal performance (RθJC = 15°C/W) are critical.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC24H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling precise voltage clamping during transient events. Its electrical behavior follows IEEE C62.35 standards, with breakdown tested at 1.0 mA and clamping verified at 45A using the 10/1000µs waveform per Fig.5.
Thermally, it supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with derated peak power above 25°C ambient per Fig.2. Its DO-214AB package provides mechanical robustness, UL 94V-0 flammability compliance, and matte tin-plated leads compatible with J-STD-002 soldering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR Min/Max | 21.6 V / 26.4 V - Ensures reliable turn-on within ±10% of nominal 24V, minimizing false triggering while guaranteeing protection onset before downstream IC damage. |
| VWM | 19.4 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage; sets safe DC operating margin below breakdown for stable rail protection without leakage-induced power loss. |
| VC @ IPPM | 34.7 V @ 45 A - Clamping voltage under full 1500W surge; defines worst-case voltage seen by protected circuit during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump). |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage ensures negligible standby current draw in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| PPK | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000µs waveform; supports repeated transient suppression in automotive and industrial environments. |
| TJ Max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive locations and enclosed industrial enclosures without thermal shutdown. |
| RθJC | 15 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting sustained surge duty cycles with minimal temperature rise. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Case meets UL 94V-0; terminals are matte tin-plated and whisker-resistant per JESD 201 Class 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input/Line side terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24V supply rail); conducts during forward surge only in unidirectional mode. |
| Cathode | Clamp/Return side terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; sinks surge current into ground path during reverse-biased transient events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Card |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 24V CAN/LIN bus power rails and microcontroller I/O from load dump, jump-start, and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main 24V supply input; absorbs energy from ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) and Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off). Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤34.7V during 1500W surges, preventing brownout or destruction of 3.3V/5V LDOs and MCU power domains. |
Use Scenario: Shields 24V digital input channels from field-wiring induced transients (e.g., motor contactor switching, ESD from operator touch). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end TVS on each optocoupler input channel; placed before series current-limiting resistor to minimize voltage overshoot. Use Value: Clamps 45A surge to 34.7V within <1ps, ensuring optocoupler LED and input comparator remain within absolute maximum ratings. |
| Telecom Power Supply Output | Smart Meter Battery Backup Circuit |
Use Scenario: Safeguards 24V DC output of AC/DC adapter against lightning-induced surges entering via long interconnect cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS on regulated output rail; coordinated with upstream MOV and common-mode choke per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3. Use Value: Delivers 1500W clamping capacity with 34.7V VC, maintaining output regulation integrity during 10/1000µs surges up to 4kV line-earth. |
Use Scenario: Protects lithium-thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) backup battery charging path from ESD and accidental polarity reversal during field servicing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamp between battery positive and system ground; blocks reverse current while clamping positive transients. Use Value: With VWM = 19.4V and VBR ≥21.6V, it remains fully blocking during normal 3.6V–3.8V battery operation yet activates instantly at >24V fault conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | 600W peak power (vs. 1500W); DO-214AA (SMB) package; slightly higher VC = 38.9V @ 15.4A | Lower surge capacity limits use to non-automotive, low-energy I/O lines; not ISO 7637-2 certified | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller SMB footprint and surge demands are ≤600W. |
| 1.5KE24A | Through-hole TO-204AA (DO-41); same 24V VBR range but slower response (~1ns); no AEC-Q101 or ISO 7637-2 documentation | Requires wave soldering; unsuitable for automated SMT lines or automotive qualification-critical designs | Choose only for legacy through-hole systems where rework flexibility outweighs surge performance and qualification needs. |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5KE24A, the 1.5SMC24H delivers triple the peak power rating, automotive-grade qualification, and surface-mount compatibility-making it the preferred choice for new 24V automotive and industrial designs requiring validated, high-energy transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC24H under rated surge current?
The 1.5SMC24H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 34.7 V at 45 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that protected circuits will not experience voltages exceeding 34.7 V during standardized surge events, preserving downstream IC integrity in 24V systems.
Is the 1.5SMC24H suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No-the 1.5SMC24H is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC rail protection with defined anode/cathode polarity. For bidirectional applications (e.g., AC lines or data buses), Taiwan Semiconductor specifies variants with "CH" or "CAH" suffixes (e.g., 1.5SMC24CH). Using the 1.5SMC24H in reverse-biased AC configurations risks catastrophic failure due to lack of symmetrical breakdown capability.
Does the 1.5SMC24H require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-the 1.5SMC24H must be derated above 25°C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet. Its peak pulse power drops linearly to zero at +150°C ambient, with RθJA = 50°C/W defining thermal limits. At 85°C ambient, usable peak power is reduced to approximately 900W, requiring layout review for copper area and airflow if operating near thermal limits.
What is the marking code for the 1.5SMC24H on the device body?
The 1.5SMC24H is marked with the code "ELJ" on its DO-214AB (SMC) package body, followed by date code and factory identifiers. This marking aligns with Taiwan Semiconductor's standardized coding scheme and enables visual verification and traceability during incoming inspection or field repair.
How does the 1.5SMC24H compare to the 1.5SMC24AH variant?
The 1.5SMC24AH offers tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (22.8–25.2 V vs. 21.6–26.4 V for 1.5SMC24H) and slightly lower clamping voltage (33.2 V vs. 34.7 V), making it preferable for precision 24V systems where margin to downstream IC absolute maximum ratings is constrained. Both share identical package, power rating, and qualification status.
