Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection. It features a 70.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.3 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - ideal for safeguarding automotive sensor signal lines against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching spikes.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified clamping performance, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and validated thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W) for reliable integration into automotive-grade PCB layouts requiring robust ESD and surge immunity.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages while maintaining low incremental surge resistance. Its cathode-band polarity marking ensures correct orientation during automated placement on SMC footprints.
Rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature and 0.01% duty cycle repetitive surges, it delivers stable clamping under 10/1000 μs waveforms when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads - meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients |
| VC (Clamping) | 113 V at 13.3 A IPPM - limits downstream voltage stress during 1500 W surge events |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient; informs heatsinking needs for sustained power dissipation |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units exposed to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach sensitive input stages. Use Value: Limits induced voltage to ≤113 V during 10/1000 μs surges, preserving signal integrity and preventing reset or damage to 5 V or 3.3 V interface ICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input modules in programmable logic controllers subjected to relay coil flyback and EMI coupling from adjacent motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected across input terminals to absorb repetitive 1500 W pulses without derating. Use Value: Maintains <1 μA leakage at 70.1 V, ensuring clean logic-level detection while surviving >100,000 surge cycles per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| Telecom Power Supply Input | Consumer Appliance Motor Control |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection of AC/DC adapters and PoE injectors against lightning-induced surges on primary-side DC rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side TVS shunting surge energy to ground before it reaches bulk capacitors and controller ICs. Use Value: Clamps 1 kV/0.5 kA surges to <113 V within nanoseconds, preventing overvoltage failure of PWM controllers and optocouplers. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing commutation spikes from brushed DC motors in washing machines and HVAC blowers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS across motor terminals to clamp inductive kickback during MOSFET switching. Use Value: Withstands 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM) and maintains stable VBR after repeated 13.3 A pulses - extends motor driver lifetime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A-E3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), SMB package (smaller footprint), VC = 123 V at 4.9 A | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suited for cost-sensitive consumer designs with lower surge exposure | Select when board space is constrained and 1500 W rating is not required |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, same VBR/VC, but RθJA ≈ 100 °C/W and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to non-automotive industrial use due to packaging and qualification gaps | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where SMT conversion is impractical |
Compared with SMBJ80A-E3/52T and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1500 W surge capacity in SMC form factor, and 75 °C/W thermal resistance - making it the only option among the three suitable for new automotive sensor module designs requiring zero-layout-change migration to high-reliability production.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 13.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88303 and reflects worst-case device behavior across temperature and process variation - critical for validating voltage margins in protected circuits.
Is the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated with the "HE3" suffix, indicating RoHS-compliant construction and full automotive stress testing (HTGB, HTRB, TCT). It is approved for use in engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body electronics where transient immunity and long-term reliability are mandatory.
What does the "9AT" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT?
The "9AT" suffix denotes packaging: 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel format containing 3500 units per reel. This differs from "57T" (7-inch reel, 850 units) and supports high-volume SMT line feeding. The "HE3" portion confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS compliance per Vishay's ordering nomenclature.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT affect PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT has a typical RθJA of 75 °C/W, meaning junction temperature rises 75 °C above ambient per watt dissipated. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C at 6.5 W steady-state power, ambient must stay ≤ 55 °C - requiring ≥8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal as specified in Vishay's mounting recommendations.
Can the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT is unidirectional only, indicated by the "A" suffix (vs. "CA" for bidirectional variants like 1.5SMC82CA). Its cathode band must be oriented toward the higher-potential side of the protected line; using it in reverse or across AC signals will result in forward conduction and failure.
