Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 70.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), and clamps to ≤113 V at 13.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It protects signal lines and power rails in automotive sensor units and industrial control interfaces against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T application, or 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T equivalent, this device delivers verified bidirectional clamping performance with halogen-free RoHS compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness - critical for high-reliability embedded power rail and I/O protection design.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 77.9–86.1 V (min/max) under 1 mA test current, and exhibits low incremental surge resistance for stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures consistent avalanche behavior and fast response time (<1 ns).
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads) and RθJL = 15 °C/W (junction-to-leads), supporting reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device has no polarity marking - consistent with bidirectional construction - and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | Lower peak power (600 W), same VWM (72.2 V), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 85 °C/W) | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 ESD only); unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 surge testing | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to ESD or low-energy switching noise. |
| 1.5KE82CA | Same VWM (70 V) and VC (113 V), but axial DO-201 package - not surface-mountable; higher mounting inductance | Requires through-hole assembly and larger PCB real estate; less suitable for high-frequency transient suppression due to lead inductance | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T uniquely balances 1500 W surge capacity, SMC surface-mount compatibility, and halogen-free compliance - making it the preferred choice for production-grade automotive and industrial PCBs requiring automated assembly and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 immunity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T clamps to a maximum of 113 V when subjected to its rated 13.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay Document 88303 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. Designers use this parameter to verify that downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings during transient conditions.
Is the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix), meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 or HM3 suffixes. While the -M3/57T variant itself is commercial-grade, its electrical and thermal specifications (TJ max = 150 °C, VWM = 70.1 V) align with automotive sensor and body-control module requirements. For certified automotive use, specify 1.5SMC82CAHM3_X variants.
Does the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T have polarity markings?
No - the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T is a bidirectional TVS diode and carries no cathode band or polarity marking. Its symmetrical construction allows either terminal to serve as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity, simplifying PCB layout for differential or floating signal lines. This distinguishes it from unidirectional variants like 1.5SMC82A-M3/57T, which feature a visible cathode band.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T?
The 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad per terminal, and a junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W. These values assume convection cooling only and inform thermal relief design - for sustained power dissipation, derating curves in Figure 2 of Document 88303 must be applied above 25 °C ambient.
How does the 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T differ from the unidirectional 1.5SMC82A-M3/57T?
The 1.5SMC82CA-M3/57T is bidirectional with symmetric VBR and VC characteristics in both directions, while the 1.5SMC82A-M3/57T is unidirectional and features a cathode band. Their VWM (70.1 V), VBR (77.9–86.1 V), and VC (113 V) are identical, but the unidirectional version conducts forward current during positive transients only. Use the CA version for AC-coupled or floating lines; use the A version for DC-biased rails where polarity is fixed.
