series introduction
The 1.5SMC20A-E Series is a robust line of surface-mount transient voltage suppressors (TVS) designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. Known for their dependable performance and compact design, these devices play a crucial role in safeguarding circuits in various applications, ensuring longevity and reliability in operation. The series features a unidirectional configuration, allowing it to effectively clamp high-voltage transients while providing minimal leakage current under normal operating conditions.
One of the standout characteristics of the 1.5SMC20A-E Series is its impressive power dissipation capability, with each device able to handle up to 1500 watts of peak pulse power in a compact SMC package. This ensures optimal protection for sensitive components even in high-energy environments. Furthermore, the series is characterized by a low clamping voltage, which is critical for preventing damage to downstream components in the event of a surge. The working voltage rating of up to 20V makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive systems.
Designed for ease of integration, the 1.5SMC20A-E Series features a standardized footprint, allowing for seamless placement on PCBs and compatibility with various surface-mount assembly processes. This design consideration is particularly beneficial in high-density applications, where space is at a premium. The series is also compliant with RoHS directives, ensuring it meets global environmental standards for electronic components.
Typical applications for the 1.5SMC20A-E Series include circuit protection for power supplies, data lines, and signal integrity management in communications equipment. They are particularly valuable in industries where electronic devices are exposed to electrical noise, such as industrial automation, medical devices, and consumer electronics. By incorporating the 1.5SMC20A-E Series into circuit designs, engineers can enhance the reliability and durability of their products, ultimately leading to improved performance and reduced maintenance costs.
