Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 77.9–86.1 V), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 113 V maximum clamping voltage at 13.3 A, and SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces, industrial I/O modules, and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping performance, AEC-Q101 qualification, 13.3 A peak pulse current rating, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, delivering consistent clamping behavior during positive and negative transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 70.1 V) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), critical for protecting sensitive downstream ICs from ESD and lightning-induced surges.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W) and low RθJL (15 °C/W) support reliable power dissipation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V - Ensures precise, repeatable breakdown onset across production lots for predictable clamping threshold. |
| VWM | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; defines safe DC/AC working margin before conduction begins. |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 13.3 A - Clamping voltage under 1500 W 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected circuitry. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables suppression of high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| IPPM | 13.3 A - Peak pulse current capacity; sets minimum surge current survivability for automotive and industrial environments. |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load dump and ESD in vehicle ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp placed directly at connector interface to shunt surge energy before reaching signal conditioning ICs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by limiting transient overshoot to ≤113 V while surviving ≥1000 surges per AEC-Q101 stress profile. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input modules in programmable logic controllers against field-wiring faults and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on channel-level inputs, coordinated with upstream fusing and filtering. Use Value: Enables >1500 W surge handling without derating at 85 °C ambient, supporting Class I/II industrial immunity requirements. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Shielding Ethernet PHYs and RS-485 transceivers from induced surges on outdoor or long-run data cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor on differential pair inputs, placed before common-mode chokes and TVS arrays. Use Value: Symmetric clamping ensures balanced suppression on both lines, preserving signal skew and common-mode rejection. |
Use Scenario: Secondary overvoltage protection on DC input rails (e.g., 48 V telecom supplies) following primary MOV or fuse coordination. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp limiting input rail excursions during hot-swap or backfeed events. Use Value: Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) minimizes stress on downstream DC-DC converters and PMICs. |
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 | Lower peak power (600 W), smaller SMB package (DO-214AA), VC = 137 V @ 4.4 A | Targeted at space-constrained consumer or low-energy industrial designs; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when board area is critical and surge energy is limited to <600 W (e.g., USB or low-speed data lines). |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole TO-218 package, same VBR/VC, higher thermal mass but incompatible with SMT automation | Used in legacy industrial power supplies where manual assembly or high-reliability mechanical mounting is preferred | Choose only if SMT compatibility is not required and board real estate allows larger through-hole footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT delivers superior surge robustness (1500 W vs. 600 W or 1500 W with manual assembly), AEC-Q101 compliance for automotive use, and optimized SMT manufacturability - making it the preferred choice for high-volume, automotive-grade, and thermally demanding applications.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT clamps to a maximum of 113 V at its rated peak pulse current of 13.3 A, measured with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT achieves this with low incremental surge resistance, ensuring minimal voltage overshoot beyond the specified VC.
Is the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with the "HE3" suffix. It has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT is commonly deployed in engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body control modules where robust transient immunity is mandated.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., "A"), the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT has no polarity marking and functions identically regardless of applied voltage polarity, making it ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal paths.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and an operating storage temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W) is specified with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures up to 85 °C ambient.
How does the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT differ from the unidirectional 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities and no polarity marking, whereas the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT is unidirectional with a cathode band and conducts only in reverse bias. Their VBR, VWM, and VC values are nearly identical, but the 1.5SMC82CAHE3/9AT supports AC or floating node protection, while the 1.5SMC82AHE3/9AT is used in DC-biased rail protection where polarity is fixed.
