Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power 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 rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and DC power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H datasheet, 1.5SMC82AHM3/H pinout, 1.5SMC82AHM3/H application, or 1.5SMC82AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 13.3 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, SMC (DO-214AB) package thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM = 70.1 V, it avalanches to limit transient energy by diverting surge current to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 μA at VWM), while the 10/1000 μs waveform rating reflects standardized lightning and inductive-switching surge immunity testing.
The device is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow). The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction.
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 clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - Voltage range where avalanche conduction initiates reliably; ensures consistent turn-on across production lot. |
| VC (Clamping) | 113 V at 13.3 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; determines downstream component stress. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability under standard lightning surge waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 threats. |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads; guides PCB thermal layout design. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VWM (64.0 V), higher VC (129 V at 4.7 A), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA). | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 or automotive load dump. | Select only for space-constrained consumer electronics with <600 W threat profile and no AEC-Q101 requirement. |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs (VWM = 70.1 V, VC = 113 V), but no AEC-Q101 qualification or halogen-free compliance. | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly or automotive production; higher thermal resistance limits power handling on PCB. | Use only for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where RoHS/AEC-Q101 are not mandated. |
Compared with SMBJ80A and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H delivers certified automotive reliability, superior 1500 W surge capacity in compact SMC packaging, and halogen-free compliance - making it the preferred choice for production-grade automotive and industrial power rail protection where both performance and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 13.3 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per industry-standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events. It is specified in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88303, page 2, Electrical Characteristics table.
Is the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix and documentation in Vishay's 1.5SMC Series datasheet (Rev. 09-Mar-2026). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT), validating its use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate for the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix on the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "M3" parts and confirms compliance with automotive material standards, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and MSL Level 1 reflow capability (260 °C peak).
What is the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/H 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. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's package drawing; reducing pad size increases thermal impedance and may require derating of surge capability in high-ambient environments.
How does the 1.5SMC82AHM3/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like 1.5SMC82CA?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/H is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, enabling use in DC circuits where reverse conduction must be blocked. In contrast, 1.5SMC82CA is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both directions and no polarity marking - suited for AC lines or differential signals like RS-485, but not for single-polarity DC rail protection.
