Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection. 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 (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supplies against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching spikes.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1.0 μA at 70.1 V), while its low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy diversion during transient events.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions, with derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains operation across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications

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-TAP | Lower peak power (600 W), smaller SMB (DO-214AA) package, same VWM/VBR/VC specs. | Not suitable for 1500 W surge environments; limited to lower-energy IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 events. | Select only when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤600 W (e.g., secondary-side protection). |
| 1.5KE82A | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (~50 °C/W on infinite heatsink), no MSL Level 1 rating. | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; incompatible with high-volume SMT lines and lead-free reflow. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where thermal management via heatsink is feasible. |
Compared with SMBJ82A-TAP and 1.5KE82A, the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT uniquely combines 1500 W surge capacity, SMC surface-mount compatibility, MSL Level 1 reflow readiness, and halogen-free compliance-making it the preferred choice for production-grade automotive and industrial SMT power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 13.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per JEDEC standards and represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during surge conduction. It is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay Document Number 88303.
Is the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix), meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and is part of the AEC-Q101-qualified 1.5SMC family (suffix _A denotes qualification for 6.8 V to 220 V variants). While the specific 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT ordering code does not carry HE3/HM3 automotive branding, its base 1.5SMC82A variant is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified in Vishay documentation, confirming suitability for automotive power rail and sensor protection.
How does the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like 1.5SMC82CA?
The 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, allowing it to block forward current until ~3.5 V while clamping reverse surges above 70.1 V. In contrast, 1.5SMC82CA is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both directions and no polarity marking. The 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT is selected for DC-biased lines (e.g., VBUS, battery feeds), whereas 1.5SMC82CA suits AC-coupled or floating signal paths like data lines.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This means each watt of steady-state power raises junction temperature by 75 °C above ambient. For its 6.5 W power dissipation rating, this requires careful copper area allocation-undersized pads will cause thermal runaway during sustained overvoltage events.
Does the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT have UL recognition?
Yes-the 1.5SMC82A-M3/9AT carries Underwriters Laboratories recognition under UL 497B (QVGQ2 file number E136766) for both unidirectional and bidirectional variants in the 1.5SMC Series. This certification validates its performance as a transient protector in telecommunications and industrial equipment meeting UL safety requirements.
