Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 77.9–86.1 V at IT = 1 mA), 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.3 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It provides robust ESD and surge protection for automotive-grade power rails and signal lines in engine control units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I datasheet, 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I pinout, 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I application, or 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified unidirectional clamping performance, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive PCB assembly and transient immunity validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a glass-passivated junction, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to transients and stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W) and junction temperature limit (TJ = –65 to +150 °C) support operation on standard 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads without forced cooling.
The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I features a cathode-band polarity marking, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive applications requiring validated reliability under temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress.

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery+ and chassis ground to clamp positive surges above 70.1 V. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by downstream DC/DC converters and microcontrollers to ≤113 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage. |

|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression in AC/DC adapters powering USB-C PD devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on +5 V/9 V/15 V output rails to absorb feedback-loop instability spikes or hot-plug transients. Use Value: Maintains regulated output within ±5% tolerance during 1500 W surges, ensuring compliance with USB PD 3.1 voltage accuracy specs. |
Use Scenario: Primary protection for Ethernet PHY interfaces on telecom line cards subjected to induced surges from nearby power lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed on differential pairs (e.g., MDI-X) referenced to local ground plane to suppress common-mode transients. Use Value: Limits differential voltage excursion to <113 V while maintaining <0.5 pF junction capacitance (per Vishay typical data), preserving 100BASE-TX signal integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ82A-E3/57T | Same VBR (77.9–86.1 V) and VC (113 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 110 °C/W) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics, not automotive under-hood use | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is limited to <400 W (e.g., USB port protection). |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package; identical electrical specs but higher mounting thermal resistance and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires wave soldering; incompatible with fully SMT automotive production lines and MSL-compliant reflow | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where automated SMT placement is unavailable. |
Compared with SMAJ82A-E3/57T and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I delivers automotive-grade reliability in a surface-mount package with full 1500 W surge capability - making it the sole option among the three qualified for AEC-Q101 and compatible with high-volume SMT assembly.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I under a 1500 W transient?
The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 13.3 A - corresponding to a 1500 W transient using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88303 and ensures downstream ICs see no more than 113 V during surge events. The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its "HE3" suffix and documentation in Vishay's 88303 datasheet. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, HAST, and mechanical shock - meeting automotive requirements for engine control units, battery management systems, and ADAS sensors. The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C (MSL Level 1).
What does the "_A/I" suffix mean in 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I?
The "_A" denotes the voltage variant (82 V nominal) and AEC-Q101 qualification level for the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I series, while "/I" specifies packaging in a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 3500 units - optimized for high-volume SMT placement. This differs from "/H" (7-inch reel, 850 units). The "HE3" portion confirms RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction with matte tin plating.
How does the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like 1.5SMC82CA?
The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement, whereas 1.5SMC82CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions. The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I offers lower leakage (<1 µA at 70.1 V) and is preferred for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed. Bidirectional variants like 1.5SMC82CA are used for AC lines or differential signals - the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I is not interchangeable without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I, and how does it affect layout?
The 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal, as specified in Vishay document 88303. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout; reducing pad area increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway during repetitive surges. For reliable operation at full 1500 W rating, maintain the specified pad dimensions and avoid excessive trace length or isolation - the 1.5SMC82AHE3_A/I must be placed near the protected node with low-inductance grounding.
