Product details
Overview
1K5SMPC30APH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 30.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 41.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 36.2 A peak surge current - deployed in automotive BLDC motor control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1K5SMPC30APH datasheet, 1K5SMPC30APH pinout, 1K5SMPC30APH application, or 1K5SMPC30APH equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 / ISO 10605 L4 ESD robustness, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal resistance RθJL = 6.4 °C/W for PCB-mounted reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device protecting downstream circuitry against fast transients and ESD events. Its 30.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (min 28.5 V, max 31.5 V at 1.0 mA) ensures precise overvoltage thresholding, while the 41.4 V clamping voltage at 36.2 A IPPM guarantees safe voltage limiting during surge conditions.
Thermally, it supports operation from −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature with RθJL = 6.4 °C/W and RθJC = 8.9 °C/W, enabling high-power transient suppression on compact PCB layouts using standard 16 mm × 16 mm copper pads per JEDEC test methodology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 28.5 / 30.0 / 31.5 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise overvoltage trip point with ±5% tolerance for reliable system-level protection coordination |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; sets safe DC operating margin below breakdown |
| VC @ IPPM | 41.4 V at 36.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected IC's voltage stress limit |
| PPPM | 1500 W - non-repetitive peak pulse power handling; enables robust immunity to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b |
| RθJL | 6.4 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports high surge duty cycles without thermal runaway on standard PCB copper |
| αT | 0.088 %/°C - temperature coefficient of VBR; allows accurate VBR derating across −55 °C to +175 °C operating range |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1K5SMPC30APH?
The 1K5SMPC30APH has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at 1.0 mA test current, yielding a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 30.0 V value. This tight tolerance ensures consistent overvoltage triggering across production lots and supports precise coordination with downstream protection circuits in automotive ECUs and motor controllers.
Is the 1K5SMPC30APH suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1K5SMPC30APH is a unidirectional TVS diode, designed for clamping positive transients relative to ground. Its polarity is fixed - anode (Pin 3) connects to the protected line, cathodes (Pins 1 & 2) to ground. For bidirectional protection, two 1K5SMPC30APH devices would need back-to-back configuration, but TSC does not recommend this; instead, use a dedicated bidirectional part such as 1K5SMPC30CA.
Does the 1K5SMPC30APH meet automotive ESD standards?
Yes, the 1K5SMPC30APH meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact) and ISO 10605 Level L4 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact) ESD requirements. It is also AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming robustness across temperature cycling, HTRB, and mechanical stress tests mandated for automotive electronics.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1K5SMPC30APH?
The 1K5SMPC30APH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +175 °C and operates across −55 °C to +175 °C. This wide range supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial motor drives, where sustained thermal stress must be managed via its RθJL = 6.4 °C/W and RθJC = 8.9 °C/W thermal metrics.
How is the 1K5SMPC30APH packaged and delivered?
The 1K5SMPC30APH is supplied in TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) surface-mount package and shipped in tape-and-reel format - 6,000 units per reel. The package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements for long-term reliability in automotive assemblies.
