Product details
Overview
1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 23.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It protects automotive-grade signal lines and power rails against ESD, lightning surges, and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H datasheet, 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H pinout, 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H application, or 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H equivalent, this part delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automotive electronics, industrial sensor interfaces, and high-reliability DC power input stages.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable breakdown behavior and fast response (<1 ns). Its clamping action begins at VWM = 40.2 V (stand-off voltage), limiting transient overvoltage before reaching VC = 64.8 V under 23.1 A IPPM.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, it features RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The device meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/57T | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but SMA package (smaller footprint, lower PPPM = 400 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a or high-current load dump | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 only |
| 1.5KE47A | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but no AEC-Q101 or halogen-free certification | Not qualified for automotive production; requires manual insertion or wave soldering | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where AEC-Q101 and RoHS are not mandated |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/57T and 1.5KE47A, the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free compliance, SMC surface-mount compatibility, and full 1500 W surge capability - making it the only option qualified for volume automotive production with zero layout compromise.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H under maximum surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 23.1 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with devices mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per JEDEC guidelines. The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, ensuring consistent protection for downstream ICs.
Is the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation in datasheet 88303. It is specifically intended for automotive use cases including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H also meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 497B recognition, fulfilling key automotive reliability and safety requirements.
What does the "_A/H" suffix mean in 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H?
The "_A/H" suffix in 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H indicates two attributes: "A" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for the 1.5SMC47A variant, and "H" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 850 units per reel. This matches Vishay's ordering convention shown in the "Ordering Information" section of datasheet 88303, where "H" corresponds to the 57T carrier format.
How does the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like 1.5SMC47CHM3_A/H?
The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, whereas 1.5SMC47CHM3_A/H is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions. The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H has VWM = 40.2 V and VBR = 44.7–49.4 V, while the bidirectional version has VWM = 40.2 V and VBR = 44.7–49.4 V in each direction. Use the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed; choose the "C" version for AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-leads resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W, measured on minimum recommended pad layout (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper per terminal). To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C during repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks - the 1.5SMC47AHM3_A/H relies on thermal conduction through its leads into the board, not air convection.
