Product details
Overview
1.5SMC82CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 82V breakdown voltage (VBR = 73.8–90.2 V), 1500 W peak pulse power rating (tp = 1 ms), clamping voltage of 118 V at 13 A, and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive load-dump and switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC82CH datasheet, 1.5SMC82CH pinout, 1.5SMC82CH application, or 1.5SMC82CH equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and lightning-induced transient suppression in unidirectional/bidirectional DC power interfaces where low clamping ratio, sub-1 ps response, and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC82CH implements a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast avalanche response (<1.0 ps typical) and stable bidirectional clamping behavior across both polarities. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package enables automated placement while maintaining thermal resistance of RθJA = 50°C/W and RθJC = 15°C/W for reliable power dissipation under repetitive surges.
It operates over –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with <1 µA leakage above 70.1 V (VWM = 66.4 V), and exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR ≤ 0.105 %/°C - ensuring predictable voltage stability across automotive thermal cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 73.8 V / 90.2 V - defines guaranteed avalanche initiation window under 10 mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VWM | 66.4 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets safe DC rail margin for 72 V nominal systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 118 V at 13 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's peak stress level |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling per 1 ms waveform; supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) energy absorption |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1 µA - ultra-low blocking leakage; avoids parasitic loading on high-impedance sensor or control lines |
| TJ max | +150 °C - junction temperature limit enabling under-hood automotive deployment without derating |
| Package | DO-214AB (SMC) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 0.210 g mass and J-STD-002 solderable matte tin leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) package: molded plastic case with cathode band marking; bidirectional symmetry means no polarity-dependent pin assignment - terminals are functionally identical for AC-coupled or dual-rail protection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional surge conduction path | Both terminals serve as interchangeable avalanche junctions; no DC bias directionality required |
| Case | Thermal and mechanical interface | Exposed copper slug provides primary heat path to PCB; requires thermal pad for RθJA compliance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress conditions |
| ISO 7637-2 compliant | Withstands Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off), Pulse 2a/2b (battery disconnect), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling) waveforms |
| Fast response time | <1.0 ps typical - limits voltage overshoot before clamping engages, protecting downstream FET gates and IC inputs |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term stability and moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives; supports J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive - suitable for green manufacturing and export compliance |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |

Use Value: 0.105 %/°C VBR tempco ensures stable clamping across -40°C to +85°C ambient, critical for outdoor enclosure operation. |
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 PPK = 600 W; VC = 137 V @ 4.4 A; SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-energy IEC 61000-4-5 line surges | Select when space-constrained and peak surge energy is ≤600 W; verify thermal margin with PCB copper area |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole TO-204AA (DO-41); same VBR/VC specs but slower response (~1 ns); higher VF in forward conduction | Requires manual assembly; unsuitable for automated SMT lines; less robust for fast ESD events | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, the 1.5SMC82CH delivers 2.5× higher surge power handling in an AEC-Q101-qualified SMT package with faster response and lower clamping voltage - making it the preferred choice for production automotive and industrial systems requiring certified reliability and high-energy immunity.

FAQ
What does the "CH" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC82CH?
The "CH" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the 1.5SMC82CH has symmetrical avalanche characteristics in both forward and reverse directions, unlike unidirectional "H" variants. This allows single-device protection of AC-coupled signals or floating DC rails without polarity concerns, and is essential for meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and 3b requirements.
How does 1.5SMC82CH differ from the "AH" variant (e.g., 1.5SMC82AH)?
The 1.5SMC82AH is also bidirectional but features tighter VBR tolerance (77.9–86.1 V vs. 73.8–90.2 V for 1.5SMC82CH), resulting in higher minimum breakdown voltage and slightly lower clamping voltage (113 V vs. 118 V). The 1.5SMC82CH offers broader VBR spread for cost-sensitive applications where exact voltage matching is less critical than surge energy handling.
Can 1.5SMC82CH be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like 1.5SMC82H?
No - the 1.5SMC82CH is strictly bidirectional and lacks a defined anode/cathode polarity; substituting it for a unidirectional 1.5SMC82H would compromise DC blocking capability in circuits relying on forward conduction or polarity-specific clamping. Use only where bidirectional protection is explicitly required, such as across differential pairs or AC power inputs.
What is the maximum surge current 1.5SMC82CH can handle, and under what waveform?
The 1.5SMC82CH supports a maximum peak impulse current (IPPM) of 13 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform (per Fig.5 in the datasheet). This corresponds to its 1500 W peak pulse power rating at TA = 25°C; derating applies above ambient temperature per Fig.2.
Is 1.5SMC82CH compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the 1.5SMC82CH uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and rated for lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature. Its moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, meaning it may be used directly from dry pack without baking, supporting high-yield automated assembly.
