Product details
Overview
1.5SMC47AHE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA), and 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 23.1 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supply interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T application, or 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), <1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that transitions from high-impedance to low-impedance state within picoseconds upon detecting overvoltage transients exceeding its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low incremental surge resistance for consistent clamping performance across repetitive surges.
The 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature, features MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W) assumes mounting on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads - critical for sustaining 1500 W pulse power without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 44.7 V / 49.4 V at IT = 1 mA - defines precise overvoltage triggering threshold for reliable circuit protection |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 48 V battery-connected ECUs from load dump and alternator transients per ISO 16750-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges above 40.2 V. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to 64.8 V during 1500 W transients, preventing damage to 60 V-rated DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<50 pF) TVS mounted directly at connector interface to suppress ESD and cable-induced noise. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time and 1.0 μA leakage at 40.2 V preserve signal integrity while enabling direct integration with 12-bit ADC front-ends. |
| Telecom DC Power Input Stage | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding PoE-powered network switches against induced surges on 48 V DC input derived from PSE. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp upstream of DC-DC regulation, coordinated with fuse and MOV staging. Use Value: 23.1 A IPPM rating supports coordination with 30 A fast-blow fuses, ensuring selective clearing without TVS failure. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing back-EMF spikes from brushed DC motors in smart home appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners, blenders). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS across motor terminals, referenced to local ground to absorb inductive kickback. Use Value: 200 A IFSM rating tolerates repeated motor stall conditions without parametric shift or bond-wire failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A-E3/52 | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM, lower IPPM (11.5 A) | Lower surge capacity suits space-constrained consumer electronics where 1500 W is not required | Select when board area is limited and peak surge energy is ≤600 W - not drop-in compatible due to smaller pad layout |
| 1.5KE47A | Through-hole DO-201 package; identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (100 °C/W) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Used in legacy industrial power supplies where manual assembly or wave soldering remains standard | Choose only for non-automotive, non-SMT designs requiring same clamping behavior but accepting larger footprint and no automotive qualification |
Compared with SMBJ47A-E3/52 and 1.5KE47A, the 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1500 W surge rating, and SMC package - making it the sole choice for new automotive SMT designs requiring full ISO 16750-2 compliance without derating or secondary protection stages.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T?
The 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 44.7 V to 49.4 V at a test current of 1 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Is 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the HE3 suffix confirms that 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114, making it suitable for under-hood and infotainment applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.
What does the "/57T" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T?
The "/57T" denotes packaging: 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel with 850 units per reel. This format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place machines and complies with EIA-481-D standards, supporting automated SMT assembly without manual handling or static risk.
How does the clamping voltage of 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T compare to its stand-off voltage?
The 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 40.2 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at 23.1 A. This 24.6 V differential ensures sufficient margin between normal operation and protective action, preventing false triggering while limiting transient overshoot to safe levels for downstream 60 V-rated components.
Can 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the "A" suffix designates unidirectional operation only. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the 1.5SMC47CA variant. Using 1.5SMC47AHE3/57T in reverse-biased mode risks permanent junction damage due to lack of symmetrical avalanche structure; polarity must be observed during PCB layout.
