Product details
Overview
1.5SMC30H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 30V breakdown voltage (27–33V), 1500W peak pulse power rating, 43.5V maximum clamping voltage at 36A impulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC30H datasheet, 1.5SMC30H pinout, 1.5SMC30H application, or 1.5SMC30H equivalent, this device is selected for ESD and lightning-induced transient suppression in automotive infotainment power supplies, industrial sensor interfaces, and telecom front-end protection where fast response (<1ps), low leakage (<1μA @ 24.3V), and DO-214AB package compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC30H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling robust clamping under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients. Its 24.3V working stand-off voltage ensures stable blocking during normal operation while allowing rapid conduction above 27V breakdown threshold.
Thermal performance is defined by 50°C/W junction-to-ambient and 15°C/W junction-to-case resistance, supporting continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature. The device uses a single-die DO-214AB (SMC) package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

| VWM | 24.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC@IPPM | 43.5 V at 36 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPK | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling per single 1 ms transient per Fig.5 waveform |
| IR@VWM | <1 μA - Ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24V supply inputs in vehicle infotainment head units from load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device placed at board edge before DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤43.5V during 36A surges, preventing latch-up or damage to downstream 3.3V/5V logic. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-clamping element between VBUS and chassis ground to shunt ESD events. Use Value: 43.5V clamping ensures USB PD 3.0 20V profiles remain within safe margin of 24.3V working voltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 30V standoff; 600W PPK; higher RθJA (65°C/W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller footprint and surge energy is ≤600W |
| 1.5KE30A | DO-201AD (axial leaded) through-hole; same 30V/1500W specs but no AEC-Q101 or moisture level 1 rating | Not suitable for automated SMT production or automotive under-hood thermal cycling | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or non-automotive industrial prototypes |
Compared with SMBJ30A and 1.5KE30A, the 1.5SMC30H delivers superior automotive qualification, tighter thermal resistance, and full SMT process compatibility-making it the preferred choice for new automotive and high-reliability industrial designs requiring 1500W clamping in DO-214AB.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC30H under maximum rated surge current?
The 1.5SMC30H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 43.5 V when subjected to its peak impulse current (IPPM) of 36 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform per Fig.5. This value ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage during worst-case transients, directly supporting design margin calculations for 24V system rails.
Is the 1.5SMC30H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC30H is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b transient immunity standards. Its DO-214AB package, 150°C maximum junction temperature, and moisture sensitivity level 1 make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive electronics including body control modules and ADAS power domains.
How does the 1.5SMC30H differ from the 1.5SMC30AH variant?
The 1.5SMC30H is unidirectional, while the 1.5SMC30AH is bidirectional-designed for AC or dual-polarity signal lines. Both share identical VBR (27–33V), VWM (24.3V), and VC (43.5V) ratings, but the AH version has symmetrical breakdown in both directions and uses CH/CAH suffixes per ordering code conventions. The 1.5SMC30H must not be substituted for AC-coupled applications.
What is the maximum leakage current specification for the 1.5SMC30H at its working voltage?
The 1.5SMC30H specifies a maximum blocking leakage current (IR) of less than 1 μA when biased at its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 24.3 V. This ultra-low leakage minimizes power loss in high-impedance circuits such as sensor bias networks and battery-backed monitoring systems, preserving accuracy and standby efficiency.
Does the 1.5SMC30H require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-the 1.5SMC30H should be placed as close as possible to the protected port with short, low-inductance traces to ground. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package requires the recommended pad layout per TSC's Package Outline Dimensions document to ensure mechanical reliability and thermal dissipation. Avoid routing sensitive signals near its anode/cathode paths to prevent coupling.
