Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82CAHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 70.1 V standoff 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 sensor interfaces, industrial I/O modules, and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H datasheet, 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H pinout, 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H application, or 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualified transient suppression in SMC (DO-214AB) package with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive and industrial designs requiring validated surge immunity.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping voltage transients above ±77.9 V in both polarities without polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance (<0.5 Ω typical), enabling fast response (<1.0 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced surges.
Rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derated linearly above 25 °C ambient, it sustains repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01% duty cycle. Thermal resistance is 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, supporting reliable operation under sustained surge stress in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - Verified avalanche onset range ensuring consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VC (Clamping) | 113 V at 13.3 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on downstream ICs |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/FlexRay transceivers and analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed at connector interface to shunt surge energy before reaching signal conditioning ICs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by limiting transient voltage to ≤113 V during 10/1000 µs surges up to 1500 W - preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected ASICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC digital input modules in programmable logic controllers exposed to inductive switching noise from solenoids and contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on field-side input traces, coordinated with series current-limiting resistors and filtering capacitors. Use Value: Enables >100,000 surge cycles at rated power due to low thermal resistance (75 °C/W) and robust junction construction - reducing field failure rates in factory automation systems. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer Power Adapter Input |
Use Scenario: Secondary-level surge protection on Ethernet PHY power rails and RS-485 data lines in base station remote units subjected to lightning-induced ground potential rise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed adjacent to connector to suppress common-mode transients before entering isolation barriers or level translators. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time and symmetrical clamping ensure balanced differential signal integrity during asymmetric surges - preserving EMC performance per EN 61000-4-5. |
Use Scenario: Input-stage transient suppression on AC-DC adapter primary-side rectifier outputs, guarding against mains-borne surges and capacitor discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated (70.1 V) clamp positioned after bridge rectifier but before bulk capacitor to absorb residual line transients. Use Value: Withstands repeated 1500 W pulses without parameter drift, verified per AEC-Q101 stress tests - extending adapter lifetime in regions with unstable grid quality. |
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 PPPM (600 W), higher VC (137 V at 4.4 A), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy surges (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2); unsuitable for automotive load-dump where 1500 W is mandated | Select only for space-constrained consumer applications with <600 W surge exposure and no AEC-Q101 requirement |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but incompatible with SMT assembly and higher thermal resistance (100 °C/W) | Requires manual soldering or wave soldering; not viable for high-volume automated production or thermally dense boards | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, the 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMC surface-mount compatibility, and full 1500 W surge capability - making it the only option among the three suitable for production automotive electronics requiring zero-layout-change migration from legacy TVS solutions.

FAQ
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. The "H" indicates 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging (850 units per reel), and the "/H" revision code confirms compliance with Vishay's latest material and reliability specifications per document 88303.
Is 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H suitable for protecting CAN bus lines?
Yes, 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H is widely used for CAN bus protection due to its bidirectional clamping, 113 V clamping voltage at 13.3 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It effectively suppresses ISO 16750-2 load-dump transients and ISO 7637-3 coupled noise while maintaining signal integrity across the 1 Mbps CAN physical layer.
How does the 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H compare to unidirectional variants like 1.5SMC82AHM3/H?
The 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H is bidirectional (CA suffix), providing symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or floating signal lines, whereas 1.5SMC82AHM3/H is unidirectional (A suffix) with cathode band marking and optimized for DC-biased rails. Their VWM, VBR, and VC values differ slightly due to internal structure - CA versions specify parameters for both polarities.
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for optimal thermal performance of 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H?
For optimal thermal performance, Vishay specifies 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H. Smaller pads increase RθJA beyond the rated 75 °C/W, risking thermal runaway during repetitive surges; larger pads yield diminishing returns due to package-limited heat spreading.
Does 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, 1.5SMC82CAHM3/H must be derated above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in Vishay document 88303. At 85 °C ambient, its peak pulse power drops to ~750 W (50% derating), and at 125 °C, it falls to ~300 W - requiring careful system-level thermal analysis when deployed near hot components like power MOSFETs or transformers.
