Product details
Overview
1.5SMC75CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 75V transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 64.1V working stand-off voltage, and 103V maximum clamping voltage at 15A peak impulse current. It provides ESD and surge protection for automotive power lines and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC75CAH datasheet, 1.5SMC75CAH pinout, 1.5SMC75CAH application, or 1.5SMC75CAH equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, <1.0ps response time, and 1μA leakage at 64.1V.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC75CAH is a glass-passivated, bipolar junction TVS diode designed for unidirectional or bidirectional transient suppression without polarity dependence. Its breakdown voltage range is 71.3–78.8V at 1mA test current, with temperature coefficient of 0.105%/°C.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, features 50°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V/24V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS device placed at power entry point to clamp surges before they reach DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤103V during 15A transients, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to downstream 3.3V/5V logic. | Use Scenario: Shielding 24V digital input modules in programmable logic controllers from field-wiring induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector on dry-contact or optocoupler input channels exposed to long cable runs. Use Value: Maintains 64.1V working voltage margin while clamping lightning-induced spikes to safe levels within 1ps. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA | 600W rating, DO-214AA (SMB) package, 107V clamping at 8.3A | Lower power handling; suitable for space-constrained consumer designs with moderate surge exposure | Select when board area is limited and peak surge energy does not exceed 600W |
| SMCJ75CA | 1500W rating, same DO-214AB (SMC) package, 107V clamping at 14.3A | Nearly identical performance; minor VBR and VC variation due to process binning | Drop-in alternative if 1.5SMC75CAH lead time is constrained; verify layout compatibility |
Compared with SMBJ75CA and SMCJ75CA, the 1.5SMC75CAH offers identical 1500W rating and DO-214AB footprint but tighter VBR tolerance (71.3–78.8V vs. typical 72–80V), lower leakage (<1μA at 64.1V), and AEC-Q101 validation-making it preferred for automotive and industrial deployments requiring traceable qualification.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the 1.5SMC75CAH?
The 1.5SMC75CAH has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 71.3V to 78.8V at 1mA test current (VBR), measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and production lots, directly supporting design margin calculations for 75V nominal systems.
Is the 1.5SMC75CAH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC75CAH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b waveforms-making it suitable for 12V/24V automotive power line protection. Its –55°C to +150°C operating range and glass-passivated junction further validate its use in engine control units and body electronics.
How does the 1.5SMC75CAH differ from unidirectional variants like 1.5SMC75CH?
The 1.5SMC75CAH is bidirectional and symmetrical, enabling protection against transients of either polarity without regard to orientation. In contrast, 1.5SMC75CH is unidirectional and requires correct anode/cathode placement. Both share identical VBR, VC, and PPK, but only the CAH version supports AC-coupled or floating-line applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC75CAH under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC75CAH clamps to a maximum of 103V at 15A peak impulse current (IPPM) for a 10/1000μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across production lots and temperature, ensuring downstream ICs see no more than 103V during standardized surge events defined in IEC 61000-4-5.
Does the 1.5SMC75CAH require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-the 1.5SMC75CAH should be placed as close as possible to the protected port with short, wide traces to minimize inductance. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package uses a thermal pad; recommended land pattern follows TSC's suggested pad layout with ≥25 mm² copper pour connected to both terminals for optimal heat dissipation during repetitive surges.
