Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 82V breakdown voltage (77.9–86.1V), and clamping voltage of 113V at 13.9A. It protects telecom and industrial interfaces against ESD, lightning surges, and load-switch transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82C datasheet, 1.5SMC82C pinout, 1.5SMC82C application, or 1.5SMC82C equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 113V VC@IPPM, 1μA [email protected], ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, and DO-214AB thermal performance (RθJA = 50°C/W).
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82C employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1.0 ps) and low leakage (<1 μA at 70.1 V). Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical clamping in AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity constraints.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 μs waveform, with thermal derating above 25°C (RθJC = 15°C/W, RθJA = 50°C/W) and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 77.9 V / 86.1 V - ensures reliable conduction onset across manufacturing tolerance and temperature |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage |
| VC@IPPM | 113 V at 13.9 A - clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 μs surge, defining protected circuit stress |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak surge energy handling per single non-repetitive event |
| IR@VWM | <1 μA - minimal standby leakage, critical for low-power sensor or battery-backed circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| Package | DO-214AB (SMC) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and 0.21 g mass |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rating, polarity indicated by cathode band (bidirectional operation renders band non-functional but retained for marking consistency).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional avalanche junction terminals | No functional polarity; either terminal serves as input/output for transient suppression in AC or floating paths |
| Cathode band marking | Manufacturing orientation indicator | Retained for legacy compatibility but electrically irrelevant in 1.5SMC82C bidirectional configuration |

Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Interface | Industrial RS-485 Transceiver Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN-FD and LVDS video links in head units exposed to load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed across differential pairs and power rails to clamp ±100 V surges without polarity biasing. Use Value: 113 V clamping ensures transceivers remain below absolute maximum ratings during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump), preventing latch-up or permanent damage. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding half-duplex RS-485 nodes in factory automation PLCs subjected to motor switching noise and ground bounce. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed line-to-line and line-to-ground on A/B bus terminals to suppress common-mode and differential-mode surges up to 1 kV. Use Value: 1500 W peak power rating sustains multiple 10/1000 μs surges without degradation, extending field reliability beyond 10 years. |
| Telecom DSL Line Card | Smart Meter AC Power Input |
Use Scenario: Shielding ADSL/VDSL line drivers from lightning-induced surges entering via outdoor copper pairs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS connected between tip/ring and ground, operating in conjunction with gas discharge tubes for staged protection. Use Value: 70.1 V working voltage allows normal 48–56 V DC bias while clamping induced transients to 113 V, preserving xDSL signal integrity. | Use Scenario: Protecting metering SoCs and isolated power supplies from surges on 230 VAC mains inputs during grid switching events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in parallel with MOVs on L-N and L/N-GND paths to handle fast-rising transients that MOVs cannot suppress alone. Use Value: Sub-1 ps response captures high-frequency components missed by slower protectors, reducing failure rate in IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA package, 85 V VBR (min 79.8 V), 1000 W PPK, higher RθJA (60°C/W) | Lower surge rating limits use in high-energy industrial environments | Select when board space is constrained to SMB footprint and 1000 W suffices |
| SMCJ85CA (Littelfuse) | DO-214AB package, identical 85 V VBR range, 1500 W PPK, but 1.5× higher IR (1.5 μA @ VWM) | Slightly higher leakage may affect ultra-low-power metering sleep modes | Prefer when sourcing flexibility is needed and leakage margin permits |
Compared with 1.5SMC82C, SMBJ85CA offers smaller footprint but reduced surge capacity, while SMCJ85CA matches power and package but trades off leakage performance-making 1.5SMC82C optimal for high-energy, low-leakage industrial designs.

FAQ
What does the 'C' suffix indicate in 1.5SMC82C?
The 'C' suffix in 1.5SMC82C denotes bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients without polarity dependence. This distinguishes it from unidirectional variants like 1.5SMC82A and enables use in AC-coupled or floating signal paths where voltage polarity reverses. The 1.5SMC82C maintains identical electrical specs-including 77.9–86.1 V VBR, 70.1 V VWM, and 113 V VC-as its unidirectional counterparts but operates equivalently in either direction.
Is 1.5SMC82C compliant with automotive transient standards?
Yes, 1.5SMC82C meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a (sudden load removal), Pulse 2b (supply interruption), Pulse 3a (capacitive coupled noise), and Pulse 3b (power line spikes), making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V automotive subsystems. Its 1500 W peak pulse power, 113 V clamping voltage, and fast <1.0 ps response ensure robust protection against real-world vehicle electrical disturbances. The 1.5SMC82C is not AEC-Q200 qualified, so system-level validation is required for safety-critical applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1.5SMC82C under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 1.5SMC82C is 113 V at 13.9 A peak impulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The 1.5SMC82C achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA at 70.1 V) and thermal stability up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Can 1.5SMC82C be used in place of 1.5SMC82A?
No-1.5SMC82C and 1.5SMC82A are functionally distinct: 1.5SMC82C is bidirectional, while 1.5SMC82A is unidirectional. Swapping them requires verifying circuit topology; using 1.5SMC82C in a unidirectional design introduces no harm but adds unnecessary symmetry, whereas substituting 1.5SMC82A for 1.5SMC82C in an AC or floating path risks incomplete protection. Both share identical DO-214AB packaging and key parameters (VBR, VC, PPK), but polarity awareness remains essential. Always confirm schematic intent before replacement.
What is the thermal resistance profile of 1.5SMC82C?
1.5SMC82C has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 15°C/W and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. These values enable effective heat dissipation during repetitive surge events and support operation up to +150°C junction temperature. PCB layout significantly impacts actual RθJA-using minimum 100 mm² copper pour per pad reduces thermal impedance by ~20%. The 1.5SMC82C's RθJA is confirmed per JEDEC JESD51-2 and validated in Taiwan Semiconductor's S2207 datasheet revision.
