Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. 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 capability with a 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial motor drives, and telecom interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H datasheet, 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H pinout, 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H application, or 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS-compliant HM3 suffix, SMC (DO-214AB) package thermal performance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that transitions from high-impedance standby to low-impedance conduction when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, limiting transient energy to protected downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and fast response time (<1 ns), while the SMC package supports automated placement and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020.
The 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, delivers 6.5 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 50 °C, and exhibits 0.105 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. It is not intended for continuous forward conduction but supports 200 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) in unidirectional configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering under ESD/lightning transients |
| VC (Clamping) | 113 V at 13.3 A (10/1000 μs) - Peak voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge; critical for MOSFET gate or MCU I/O survival |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Surge energy handling capacity; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) events |
| IPPM | 13.3 A - Peak pulse current supported at rated clamping voltage; determines minimum trace width and PCB copper area needed |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient; informs thermal pad design (e.g., 8 mm × 8 mm copper per terminal) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band; polarity critical for unidirectional operation.

|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during transient |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or CAN_H); blocks normal operation, conducts during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ82A-E3/52 | Lower peak power (600 W), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA ≈ 85 °C/W), same VWM/VC specs | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial-grade consumer/industrial use | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 (1 kV) |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but no AEC-Q101 or halogen-free certification | Requires wave soldering; unsuitable for automated SMT lines or automotive production | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where rework tolerance outweighs production efficiency |
Compared with 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H, SMBJ82A-E3/52 trades automotive qualification and thermal robustness for compact size, while 1.5KE82A sacrifices SMT compatibility and environmental compliance for cost-sensitive through-hole builds - neither offers drop-in replacement due to package, qualification, or thermal profile differences.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 13.3 A. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table 1 in Vishay's Document Number 88303 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
Is the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction. It is explicitly designated for automotive use per Vishay's ordering information table and meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock - making it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "_A/H" suffix mean in 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H?
The "_A/H" suffix in 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H indicates two attributes: "A" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for the 1.5SMC6.8A–1.5SMC220A voltage range, and "H" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 850 units per reel. This matches Vishay's documented ordering convention in Section 3 of Document 88303.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H affect PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W, which assumes mounting on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperatures under sustained power dissipation, designers must allocate adequate copper area and consider thermal vias - especially in high-ambient environments like automotive under-hood locations.
Can the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1.5SMC82AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number suffix "A" (not "CA") and the presence of a cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants in the same series use the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5SMC82CA) and lack polarity markings. Using this part in reverse-biased configurations will result in forward conduction and potential failure.
