Above that, the 34.2V minimum breakdown voltage triggers conduction, and the 49.9V maximum clamping voltage at 30.5A peak pulse current defines the upper bound the protected circuitry must survive. Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, the 1.5SMC36A suits automated pick-and-place assembly. The supplier device package is listed as DO-214AB (SMCJ), so the footprint matches standard SMC diode pads. ## Peak pulse current and waveform reality The 30.5A peak pulse current is specified using the standard 10/1000µs waveform — a 10µs rise time and 1000µs half-decay time that approximates lightning-induced surges on AC mains or long cable runs. For shorter-duration transients (like ESD at 8/20µs), the device can handle significantly higher peak currents because the energy per pulse is lower. Power line protection is marked as 'No', which means this device is intended for signal or low-power DC rail protection rather than direct AC mains clamping — a common distinction in the 1.5SMC family.","metaTitle":"1.5SMC36A Littelfuse TVS Diode, 1500W, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"1.5SMC36A Littelfuse Zener TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse power, 30.8V standoff, 49.9V clamp.
