TVS diodes for transient voltage suppression

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

series introduction

The 1.5SMC68A-E Series is a premium line of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, engineered to provide robust protection against voltage spikes in various electronic applications. With a breakdown voltage of 68V and a peak pulse power rating of 1500W, this series is specifically designed to safeguard sensitive semiconductor devices from damaging transients, ensuring reliability and longevity in circuit operation.

One of the standout features of the 1.5SMC68A-E Series is its bidirectional configuration, allowing it to effectively clamp both positive and negative voltage transients. This characteristic makes it particularly versatile for use in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. The diodes are constructed with a glass passivated junction, which enhances their reliability and performance under harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for harsh industrial and automotive environments.

In terms of design characteristics, the 1.5SMC68A-E Series boasts a compact DO-214AC (SMC) package, allowing for efficient space utilization on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This package design also facilitates excellent thermal management, ensuring that the diodes can dissipate heat effectively during operation, which is critical for maintaining performance in high-load scenarios. The series delivers a low clamping voltage and fast response time, which are essential for protecting sensitive electronics from potentially damaging transients.

Typical applications for the 1.5SMC68A-E Series include protection circuits for data lines, power supply circuits, and telecommunications equipment, where overvoltage conditions may occur. They are commonly employed in consumer products such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as in automotive electronics, industrial automation systems, and medical devices. By incorporating the 1.5SMC68A-E Series into their designs, engineers can ensure enhanced reliability and protection, safeguarding critical components from the risks associated with voltage spikes and transients.
