Product details
Overview
1K5SMPC47APH 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), 47.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), and 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 23.1 A peak pulse current - deployed in automotive battery management systems and BLDC motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1K5SMPC47APH datasheet, 1K5SMPC47APH pinout, 1K5SMPC47APH application, or 1K5SMPC47APH equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity, ISO 7637-2 pulse compliance, 175 °C max junction temperature, and TO-277A thermal performance (RθJL = 6.4 °C/W).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional overvoltage protection device with a defined breakdown threshold of 44.7–49.4 V and clamps transients to ≤64.8 V at 23.1 A. It meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements and supports automotive-grade reliability under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b waveforms.
Thermal design is enabled by its low junction-to-lead resistance (6.4 °C/W) and UL 94V-0 molding compound. The device exhibits a typical VBR temperature coefficient of 0.092 %/°C, enabling predictable voltage shift across –55 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 44.7 / 47.0 / 49.4 V - defines precise overvoltage triggering window for robust system-level surge margin |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 64.8 V at 23.1 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - non-repetitive peak pulse power handling per IEC 61000-4-5 waveform |
| TJ max | +175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against negative-going transients only; requires correct anode/cathode orientation |
| RθJL | 6.4 °C/W - low thermal resistance to PCB copper pad, critical for sustained surge duty cycles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ48A | DO-214AC package; lower PPPM = 400 W; VC = 77.4 V at 5.2 A | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive 48 V rails with verified <400 W threat profile |
| TPSMD48 | TO-277A package; AEC-Q101 qualified; PPPM = 1500 W; VC = 77.0 V at 22.1 A | Higher clamping voltage reduces system margin; same footprint but different VBR tolerance (45.6–50.4 V) | Acceptable where 77.0 V clamping is within downstream IC absolute max ratings |
Compared with SMAJ48A and TPSMD48, the 1K5SMPC47APH delivers tighter VBR tolerance (±1 V), lower clamping voltage (64.8 V), and superior thermal resistance (6.4 °C/W), making it optimal for high-reliability 48 V automotive nodes demanding minimal voltage overshoot and repeatable surge endurance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for 1K5SMPC47APH?
The 1K5SMPC47APH has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 44.7 V (min) to 49.4 V (max) at 1.0 mA test current, with a nominal value of 47.0 V. This tight ±1 V tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for protecting sensitive 48 V automotive electronics.
Is 1K5SMPC47APH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, 1K5SMPC47APH is AEC-Q101 qualified and certified for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, making it appropriate for battery management, BLDC motor drives, and lighting systems in passenger vehicles and commercial EVs.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1K5SMPC47APH at rated surge current?
The 1K5SMPC47APH clamps to a maximum of 64.8 V at its rated peak pulse current of 23.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This low clamping voltage preserves margin for downstream components rated to 65 V or higher, such as CAN transceivers and microcontrollers in 48 V domains.
Does 1K5SMPC47APH have unidirectional or bidirectional polarity?
The 1K5SMPC47APH is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. Its polarity must be observed during PCB layout: Anode (Pin 3) connects to ground or low-side reference, and Cathodes (Pins 1 & 2) connect to the protected line.
What package type does 1K5SMPC47APH use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
1K5SMPC47APH uses the TO-277A (SMPC4.6U) surface-mount package. Its thermal performance includes RθJL = 6.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead), RθJC = 8.9 °C/W (junction-to-case), and RθJA = 51.1 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on 16 mm × 16 mm Cu pad), enabling efficient heat transfer in high-power surge scenarios.
