Its 78 V reverse standoff voltage is the maximum continuous DC voltage the diode will not conduct in normal operation — match this to the nominal rail you are protecting. The breakdown voltage range starts at 86.7 V, so the diode begins clamping above that threshold, and the maximum clamping voltage at the 11.9 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform) is 126 V. The 10/1000 µs pulse shape is the standard TVS test condition; real-world transients are shorter and the diode handles a higher peak current for narrower pulses. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C — this covers the full automotive temperature envelope (Grade 1) plus industrial and military-temperature applications. No derating is needed for ambient up to 125°C, but above that the peak-pulse power derating curve in the datasheet applies. The supplier device package is also listed as SMB (DO-214AA), so the pad layout is the same. Tape-and-reel packaging (TR) is the standard delivery format for automated pick-and-place assembly. ## Sourcing and compliance The series carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, which implies compliance with the relevant RoHS and REACH requirements for automotive electronics.","metaTitle":"Bourns 1.5SMBJ78A TVS Diode, 1500W, 78V, AEC-Q101","metaDescription":"Bourns 1.5SMBJ78A Zener TVS, 1500W peak pulse, 78V reverse standoff, AEC-Q101, DO-214AA.
