Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA), 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.3 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed for robust overvoltage protection of automotive sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I datasheet, 1.5SMC82AHM3/I pinout, 1.5SMC82AHM3/I application, or 1.5SMC82AHM3/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under lightning and inductive-switching transients.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/I operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for fast response (<1 ps) to transient overvoltages. Its clamping action begins at VWM = 70.1 V and limits voltage to ≤113 V at 13.3 A IPPM, maintaining low incremental surge resistance for effective energy diversion.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 qualification (HM3 suffix), supports operating junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, and is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for high-energy transient suppression in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset window for predictable clamping threshold |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 13.3 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized lightning surge waveform |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, critical for derating above 25 °C ambient |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad requirement for thermal performance |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated clamp preventing damage from capacitor discharge events and accidental 24 V misconnection. Use Value: Maintains VWM = 70.1 V margin above nominal 12 V rail, avoiding leakage-related power loss while blocking >100 V faults. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ82A-E3/52 | Lower peak power (600 W), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 90 °C/W) | Preferred for space-constrained consumer electronics where 1500 W rating is not required | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is below IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, same VBR/VC specs but lower thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 100 °C/W) | Suitable for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose only for non-automotive, low-volume, or repair applications requiring manual assembly |
Compared with SMBJ82A-E3/52 and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free compliance, 1500 W rating in SMC package, and validated thermal performance on 8 mm × 8 mm pads - making it the preferred choice for production automotive and industrial surface-mount designs requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/I 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 with the device mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per Vishay's recommended layout, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events.
Is the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix in its part number. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate for the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix on the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It also specifies tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels (suffix "I"), and confirms compliance with JEDEC J-STD-201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak temperature.
How does the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in the same series?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/I is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification; it blocks voltage up to 70.1 V in reverse bias and clamps above that threshold. Bidirectional variants (e.g., 1.5SMC82CA) lack polarity marking and protect both polarities symmetrically, but have lower VBR range (6.8–220 V vs. 6.8–540 V for unidirectional) and are not rated for forward surge current like the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I's 200 A IFSM.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for the 1.5SMC82AHM3/I?
The 1.5SMC82AHM3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.31″ × 0.31″ (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperature under sustained power dissipation, designers must allocate adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length or isolation - undersized pads increase RθJA and risk thermal runaway during repetitive surges.
