Product details
Overview
1.5SMC39AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 37.1–41.0V breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, and 53.9V maximum clamping voltage at 29A peak impulse current. It protects automotive and industrial power rails against ESD, load dump, and lightning-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC39AH datasheet, 1.5SMC39AH pinout, 1.5SMC39AH application, or 1.5SMC39AH equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, sub-1ps response time, <1μA leakage above 33.3V working stand-off voltage, and glass-passivated junction reliability for high-volume automated assembly.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC39AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a single-die construction optimized for fast transient suppression in DC power lines. Its clamping behavior is defined by a tightly controlled VBR range (37.1–41.0V), low thermal resistance (RθJC = 15°C/W), and guaranteed clamping at ≤53.9V under 29A 10/1000μs waveform per Fig.5.
Designed for automotive-grade robustness, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing and ISO 7637-2 immunity requirements across all five pulse types. Its 33.3V VWM, 1μA IR @ VWM, and 0.100%/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensure stable overvoltage protection in ambient temperatures from –55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| VBR @ IT = 1mA | 37.1–41.0V - Ensures reliable turn-on before system damage occurs during overvoltage events |
| VWM | 33.3V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage without significant leakage |
| VC @ IPPM = 29A | ≤53.9V - Clamped voltage seen by protected ICs during worst-case 10/1000μs surge |
| PPK | 1500W - Peak transient energy absorption capability per single non-repetitive pulse |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1μA - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in always-on circuits |
| TJ max | +150°C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for the 1.5SMC39AH?
The 1.5SMC39AH has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 37.1V to 41.0V at 1mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports precise overvoltage margin design in 24V and 36V systems where the 1.5SMC39AH is commonly deployed.
Is the 1.5SMC39AH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC39AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements-making it suitable for front-end protection in automotive ECUs, body control modules, and infotainment power supplies. Its DO-214AB package, 150°C junction rating, and glass-passivated junction support under-hood deployment where the 1.5SMC39AH operates reliably.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC39AH under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC39AH exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9V at 29A peak impulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream components see no more than 53.9V during worst-case transients-critical for protecting 40V-rated DC-DC controllers used with the 1.5SMC39AH.
Does the 1.5SMC39AH have bidirectional capability?
No, the 1.5SMC39AH is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC line protection with defined anode-to-cathode polarity. For bidirectional AC or dual-rail protection, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the 1.5SMC39CAH variant; the 1.5SMC39AH must be oriented correctly in-circuit with cathode toward the protected line to function as designed.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for the 1.5SMC39AH?
1.5SMC39AH is supplied in DO-214AB (SMC) package on 3,000-piece tape-and-reel format per industry standard. The reel complies with EIA-481-D specifications and includes matte tin-plated leads certified to J-STD-002 for solderability-ensuring compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment used in production of boards incorporating the 1.5SMC39AH.
