Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 73.8–90.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 66.4 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 118 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating - suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial surge immunity per ISO 7637-2.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82 datasheet, 1.5SMC82 pinout, 1.5SMC82 application, or 1.5SMC82 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values (RθJA = 50 °C/W), clamping behavior under 10/1000 µs transients, moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance - all critical for ESD-hardened board-level design and long-term reliability validation.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling fast response (<1.0 ps) to transient events while maintaining low leakage (<1 µA at 66.4 V). Its single-die DO-214AB construction supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 15 °C/W and RθJA = 50 °C/W, allowing effective heat dissipation in high-density PCB layouts. The device sustains 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM) and exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.105 %/°C - essential for stable clamping across automotive (-40°C to +125°C ambient) and industrial operating ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 73.8 V / 90.2 V - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins under 1 mA test current; determines protection threshold margin. |
| VWM | 66.4 V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage; sets upper limit for normal operating rail voltage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 118 V at 13 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; directly limits stress on downstream ICs like microcontrollers or CAN transceivers. |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability; enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b transients. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - blocking leakage current at rated stand-off voltage; ensures minimal power loss and no interference with low-power sensor circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise under sustained power dissipation (e.g., 6.5 W steady-state). |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads, compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Moisture sensitivity level: J-STD-020 Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input/Line side terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V supply rail); conducts surge current toward ground when VLINE exceeds VBR. |
| Cathode | Ground-reference terminal | Connected to system ground plane; establishes reference for clamping action and must be low-inductance for effective transient suppression. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A (Bourns) | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 85 V VBR min/max (76.5–93.5 V); 1000 W PPK; higher VC = 125 V @ 11.4 A. | Lower power rating and larger VC margin reduce margin for 12 V systems with tight voltage tolerances. | Select when footprint constraints require smaller SMB package and 1000 W rating suffices for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 testing. |
| SMCJ85A (Littelfuse) | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package; identical VBR (76.5–93.5 V) and VC (125 V @ 11.4 A); 1500 W rating but higher VC and 0.105 %/°C TC. | Higher clamping voltage increases risk of overstress on 3.3 V/5 V logic powered from same rail. | Prefer only if second-source qualification requires Littelfuse pedigree and layout allows 125 V clamping headroom. |
Compared with 1.5SMC82, SMBJ85A offers smaller footprint but lower surge capacity and looser clamping, while SMCJ85A matches package and power but clamps 7 V higher - making 1.5SMC82 the optimal choice for designs demanding minimal VC and guaranteed 1500 W immunity in DO-214AB.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82 under standard 10/1000 µs surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC82 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 118 V when subjected to a 13 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the manufacturer's electrical specifications table. The 118 V clamping ensures downstream components rated for ≤130 V remain within safe operating limits during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and 2b events. The 1.5SMC82 achieves this with minimal voltage overshoot due to its sub-1 ps response time.
Is the 1.5SMC82 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1.5SMC82 is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC line protection with polarity-sensitive mounting (cathode to ground). For bidirectional AC or data-line protection, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies the 1.5SMC82C or 1.5SMC82CA variants - which feature symmetrical breakdown in both directions and omit the cathode band. Using the 1.5SMC82 in reverse-biased AC applications risks permanent junction damage due to lack of reverse avalanche rating.
What is the working stand-off voltage (VWM) of the 1.5SMC82, and how does it relate to system operating voltage?
The 1.5SMC82 has a working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 66.4 V - the maximum continuous DC voltage it can block without exceeding 1 µA leakage. This means the 1.5SMC82 is optimized for systems with nominal 48 V or 60 V rails where transient margins allow ≥10 V headroom below VBR min (73.8 V). It is not recommended for 72 V systems, as VWM falls below typical operating voltage, risking excessive leakage and thermal runaway. The 1.5SMC82 ensures reliable blocking during normal operation while activating only during overvoltage events.
Does the 1.5SMC82 meet automotive qualification standards such as AEC-Q101?
The 1.5SMC82 is built on Taiwan Semiconductor's AEC-Q101-qualified platform and meets all stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and mechanical shock - though formal AEC-Q101 certificate listing is maintained per batch rather than per part number. Its compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and UL 94V-0 molding compound confirms suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive applications. Designers should verify latest qualification status via TSC's official product change notices.
What is the thermal resistance profile of the 1.5SMC82, and how does it impact PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC82 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50 °C/W and junction-to-case (RθJC) of 15 °C/W, measured on standard FR-4 with 1-inch² 2-oz copper pad. This means a 6.5 W steady-state dissipation raises junction temperature by 325 °C above ambient - confirming the device is rated for pulsed, not continuous, power. PCB layout must prioritize low-thermal-resistance grounding: use ≥2 cm² exposed copper pour connected to cathode via multiple vias, avoid narrow traces, and ensure no heat-sensitive components reside within 5 mm of the 1.5SMC82 body.
