Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82A-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 70.1 V standoff voltage, and 113 V clamping voltage at 13.3 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T application, or 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance (75 °C/W junction-to-ambient), unidirectional polarity marking, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 70.1 V), but triggers avalanche breakdown when transient voltage exceeds its 77.9–86.1 V breakdown range (tested at 1 mA), diverting surge current away from downstream components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance and low incremental surge resistance.
The device is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains operation across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 75 °C/W on standard 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 1500 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure, suitable for lightning and inductive switching events |
| Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected circuit's nominal rail |
| Clamping Voltage (VC @ IPPM) | 113 V - maximum voltage seen by protected device during 13.3 A surge; defines worst-case overvoltage stress |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 77.9–86.1 V @ 1 mA - precise avalanche onset range used to verify conformance and ensure margin vs. VWM |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments with wide ambient swings |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 75 °C/W - determines required PCB copper area and airflow for thermal management at 6.5 W steady-state dissipation |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL Level 1 - no floor life limitation or bake requirement prior to reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity indicated by cathode band on unidirectional devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage event |
| Anode | Reference/return node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt path for transient energy dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ82A-E3/52 | Lower peak pulse power (600 W), SMB (DO-214AA) package, same VWM/VC ratings | Not suitable for 1500 W surge events; limited to lower-energy IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 environments | Select only when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤600 W; requires layout revision due to smaller footprint |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (~100 °C/W), no MSL rating | Not compatible with automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for high-density or reflow-only production | Choose only for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where thermal margin allows higher junction temperature rise |
Compared with SMBJ82A-E3/52 and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T delivers full 1500 W surge handling in an MSL Level 1 SMT package-enabling automotive-grade reliability, automated manufacturing, and thermal performance critical for high-power industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T?
The 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 70.1 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state with <1 µA leakage up to this reverse voltage. This value ensures compatibility with 72 V nominal systems while maintaining sufficient margin below the 77.9–86.1 V breakdown range. Designers must confirm that 70.1 V is below the absolute maximum rating of the protected IC or MOSFET.
Does the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T meet automotive qualification standards?
The base 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T is RoHS-compliant commercial grade. However, Vishay offers AEC-Q101 qualified versions under ordering codes like 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/H. The 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T itself is not AEC-Q101 certified, so for automotive applications requiring qualification, the HE3-suffixed variant must be specified and sourced separately.
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T clamps to a maximum of 113 V at its rated peak pulse current of 13.3 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This clamping voltage defines the worst-case overvoltage imposed on downstream components during surge events and must be verified against the protected circuit's voltage tolerance-e.g., ensuring it stays below the 120 V absolute maximum rating of many automotive gate drivers.
How does the SMC (DO-214AB) package of the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T compare thermally to SMB (DO-214AA)?
The SMC package of the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T provides lower thermal resistance than SMB: RθJA = 75 °C/W (vs. ~100 °C/W for SMBJ variants) when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads. This allows higher sustained power dissipation and better reliability under repeated surge stress, making the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T preferable for high-duty-cycle industrial applications.
Is the 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T unidirectional or bidirectional?
The 1.5SMC82A-E3/57T is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. It conducts surge current only in reverse bias (cathode to anode), making it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. For AC or bidirectional signal lines, a "CA"-suffixed part like 1.5SMC82CA would be required instead.
