TVS diodes for transient voltage suppression

Manufacturer: ['vishay-general-semiconductor', 'vishay']

series introduction

The 1.5SMC16A-E Series is a robust line of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. This series is characterized by its high surge capability, compact design, and exceptional clamping performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications that require reliable over-voltage protection.

One of the key features of the 1.5SMC16A-E Series is its peak power rating of 1500W, which allows it to effectively absorb and dissipate transient energy without compromising the integrity of the protected circuitry. The diodes utilize a unidirectional configuration and have a breakdown voltage of 16V, ensuring that they swiftly react to over-voltage conditions while maintaining a low clamping voltage during transient events. This performance attribute is vital in safeguarding sensitive components, particularly in environments prone to electrical noise and surges.

Designed with a DO-214AA package, the 1.5SMC16A-E Series offers excellent thermal dissipation and a compact footprint, facilitating easy integration into space-constrained circuit designs. This series also features a wide operating temperature range, from -55°C to +150°C, ensuring reliable performance across diverse environmental conditions. The epoxy resin package is flame-retardant, providing additional safety and durability in demanding applications.

These TVS diodes are suitable for various use cases, including automotive electronics, telecommunications, industrial controls, and consumer electronics. They are commonly employed in power supply circuits, data lines, and communication ports, where protecting against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning-induced surges is critical. The 1.5SMC16A-E Series is an excellent choice for engineers seeking dependable solutions to enhance the resilience of their designs against voltage transients, ensuring longevity and reliability in field applications. With their superior performance characteristics and versatile applications, the 1.5SMC16A-E Series diodes stand out as essential components for modern electronic systems.
