Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82A 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 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 70.1 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPK), and clamps to ≤113 V at 13.9 A peak impulse current - deployed in telecom power inputs, industrial I/O interfaces, and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82A datasheet, 1.5SMC82A pinout, 1.5SMC82A application, or 1.5SMC82A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DO-214AB package details, clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal resistance data, and direct alternatives for ESD and lightning-induced transients in 24 V and 48 V systems.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for fast response (<1.0 ps) and low leakage (<1 µA at 70.1 V). Its clamping behavior follows IEEE C62.35 standards, delivering consistent voltage limiting during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
Thermally, it exhibits RθJA = 50 °C/W and RθJC = 15 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The device is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM) and maintains stable VBR temperature coefficient of 0.105 %/°C across its operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 77.9–86.1 V - defines minimum/maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; critical for margining against system overvoltage thresholds |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for normal operating rail voltage |
| VC @ IPPM = 13.9 A | ≤113 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum transient exposure |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling per single 1 ms event; defines surge energy absorption capability |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1 µA - reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; informs PCB copper area and airflow requirements for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Case meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to protected line ground or low-side reference; carries full surge current during clamping |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal / Clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); initiates avalanche conduction when VAK exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable, repeatable avalanche characteristics and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress |
| Clamping voltage ≤113 V at 13.9 A | Provides tight overvoltage protection margin for 72 V nominal systems (e.g., telecom -48 V with headroom) |
| Response time <1.0 ps | Ensures suppression of ultrafast ESD events before sensitive downstream ICs experience damage |
| Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b | Validated for automotive load-dump and inductive switching immunity per OEM requirements |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020) | Eliminates need for baking prior to reflow; supports standard SMT assembly without special handling |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Telecom Power Input Stage |
|---|---|

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) | Same DO-214AA package; 85 V VBR min (80.8–89.2 V); 600 W PPK; higher VC = 137 V @ 4.4 A | Limited to lower-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance in 12 V systems | Select when space-constrained layout requires smaller SMB package and surge energy is ≤600 W |
| 1.5KE82A (Taiwan Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-15 package; identical VBR/VC specs; same 1500 W rating; RθJA = 15 °C/W (lower thermal resistance) | Requires through-hole assembly; not suitable for fully SMT production or high-density boards | Choose for legacy designs with existing DO-15 footprints or where enhanced thermal dissipation justifies manual assembly |
Compared with SMBJ85A and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82A uniquely balances 1500 W surge capacity, DO-214AB SMT compatibility, and 113 V clamping - making it optimal for new industrial and telecom designs requiring automated assembly and robust ISO 7637-2 immunity without through-hole compromises.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the 1.5SMC82A?
The 1.5SMC82A is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured with anode and cathode terminals. The cathode is marked by a band on the DO-214AB package body. It conducts only during reverse-bias overvoltage events - ideal for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Bidirectional variants require "C" or "CA" suffixes (e.g., 1.5SMC82CA), which are distinct part numbers.
Does the 1.5SMC82A meet automotive transient immunity standards?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82A meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b test profiles for automotive electrical disturbances. Its 1500 W peak power rating and ≤113 V clamping voltage enable robust protection against load dump, inductive switching, and coupling transients in 12 V and 24 V vehicle networks - confirmed in TSC's official S2207 datasheet.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82A under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC82A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 13.9 A peak impulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and production lot, ensuring predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 120 V-rated components.
Can the 1.5SMC82A be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - the 1.5SMC82A is unidirectional and unsuitable for AC or bidirectional signal lines without external circuitry. For symmetrical transient suppression (e.g., RS-485, USB, or audio lines), use the bidirectional variant 1.5SMC82CA, which provides matched clamping in both polarities and is explicitly characterized for bipolar operation per TSC documentation.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of the 1.5SMC82A?
The 1.5SMC82A has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50 °C/W and a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C. These values assume standard JEDEC 2-layer PCB mounting with 1 in² copper pad. Derating is required above +25 °C ambient per Fig.2 in the datasheet to maintain reliability under sustained surge duty cycles.
