Product details
Overview
1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 7.79 V to 8.61 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 7.02 V standoff voltage (VWM), 12.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 200 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.55), thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<200 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
The 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT is rated for 200 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) and supports continuous power dissipation of 6.5 W at 50 °C ambient on infinite heatsink. Its junction temperature range spans –65 °C to +150 °C, and it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.79 V to 8.61 V at 10 mA - defines precise avalanche onset window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 7.02 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.1 V at 200 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| IPPM | 200 A - maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current the device can safely divert |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, guiding PCB copper pad sizing for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified. Cathode indicated by band marking; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A | Lower PPPM (400 W), higher VC (12.5 V at 32.4 A), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal margin due to 125 °C/W RθJA |
| 1.5KE8.2A | Through-hole TO-204AE (DO-41), same VBR/VC, but slower response (>5 ns) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive SMT production or high-speed transient suppression | Use only in legacy through-hole designs where reworkability outweighs performance and qualification requirements |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and 1.5KE8.2A, the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT delivers superior surge handling (1500 W vs. 400 W/1500 W), automotive qualification, and optimized thermal performance in SMT format - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial designs requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and high-reliability clamping.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.79 V to 8.61 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage threshold design in 5 V–12 V systems.
Is the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT carries the HE3 suffix indicating RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It undergoes full automotive qualification including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD testing per JESD22-A114, making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT at rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT clamps to a maximum of 12.1 V at its rated peak pulse current of 200 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized conditions with 0.31" × 0.31" copper pads per terminal, ensuring predictable protection margins for downstream 5 V and 3.3 V ICs.
Does the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking on the SMC (DO-214AB) package body. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected toward the protected line; the opposite (unmarked) end is the anode, typically routed to ground or reference potential.
What is the thermal resistance and power dissipation rating of the 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC8.2AHE3/9AT has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and a continuous power dissipation (PD) of 6.5 W at 50 °C ambient on an infinite heatsink. These values guide PCB layout decisions - such as minimum 8 mm × 8 mm copper pad area per terminal - to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained stress.
