Product details
Overview
1.5SMC75 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 67.5–82.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 60.7 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPK), and clamps to ≤108 V at 14 A peak impulse current - deployed in telecom power inputs, industrial I/O modules, and automotive body control units.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC75 datasheet, 1.5SMC75 pinout, 1.5SMC75 application, or 1.5SMC75 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DO-214AB package details, clamping behavior under ISO 7637-2 transients, thermal resistance data, and real-world ESD/switching-surge protection use cases - all confirmed against Taiwan Semiconductor's S2207 specification release.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates with a glass-passivated junction and exhibits <1.0 ps response time, enabling effective suppression of fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) and load-dump transients. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance support reliability in thermally demanding environments.
The device complies with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b waveforms and delivers 50 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) in standard PCB mounting. It is rated for 1 μA maximum leakage at 60.7 V and supports surge currents up to 14 A (10/1000 μs waveform) without degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 67.5 V / 82.5 V - defines guaranteed conduction onset range under 1 mA test current; ensures robust margin above 60.7 V operating rail |
| VWM | 60.7 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets safe DC operating ceiling |
| VC@IPPM | ≤108 V at 14 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; determines protected circuit's peak stress level |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling per single transient; validates immunity to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 & 2b |
| IR@VWM | ≤1 μA - ultra-low blocking leakage at rated stand-off; avoids parasitic loading on high-impedance nodes |
| TJMAX | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood or enclosed industrial enclosures |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - thermal resistance to ambient; informs minimum copper area needed for 1500 W pulse dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Case meets UL 94V-0; matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or low-voltage return path; completes clamping loop during transient |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when VBR exceeded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling |
| <1.0 ps response time | Guarantees sub-nanosecond turn-on for ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air) |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance | Validated for automotive load-dump (Pulse 2b), supply interruption (Pulse 3b), and coupled transients |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow; supports standard SMT assembly without floor-life constraints |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU Directive 2011/65/EU; suitable for green manufacturing programs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA package; 75 V VBR min/max = 71.3–78.8 V; 1000 W PPK; higher VC = 121 V @ 10.3 A | Limited to lower-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (1500 W requirement) | Select only if system surge energy is capped below 1000 W and layout space restricts to SMB footprint. |
| 1.5KE75 (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-15 package; identical VBR and VC specs; same 1500 W rating but 3× higher RθJA (150 °C/W) | Requires manual insertion or wave solder; unsuitable for high-density SMT production | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where thermal derating is acceptable. |
Compared with SMBJ75A and 1.5KE75, the 1.5SMC75 uniquely combines SMT-compatible DO-214AB packaging, full 1500 W ISO 7637-2 compliance, and 50 °C/W thermal performance - making it the optimal choice for automated, high-reliability 48 V/24 V industrial and automotive power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for the 1.5SMC75?
The 1.5SMC75 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 67.5 V to 82.5 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures reliable turn-on above its 60.7 V working stand-off voltage while accommodating process variation - critical for protecting 48 V systems where margin against false triggering must be preserved.
Is the 1.5SMC75 unidirectional or bidirectional?
The 1.5SMC75 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" or "CA" suffix. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥67.5 V and blocks up to 60.7 V in reverse bias. For bidirectional protection, TSC specifies the 1.5SMC75C variant - which uses the same DO-214AB package but provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC75 under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC75 clamps to a maximum of 108 V when subjected to its rated 14 A peak impulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Fig.5 in the datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transients - directly informing downstream component voltage ratings.
Does the 1.5SMC75 meet automotive transient standards?
Yes, the 1.5SMC75 meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a (sudden load removal), Pulse 2b (load dump into alternator), Pulse 3a (capacitive coupling), and Pulse 3b (battery connection bounce). Its 1500 W rating and 108 V clamping ensure compliance across all five test waveforms without external circuit modification.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC75 in standard mounting?
The 1.5SMC75 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50 °C/W under standard JEDEC PCB mounting conditions (1 in² copper pad, 2 oz Cu). This value enables accurate thermal modeling for 1500 W pulse dissipation and confirms suitability for compact layouts where forced airflow is unavailable - provided minimum copper area guidelines are followed.
