At 124A peak pulse current, the clamping voltage is held to 12.1V maximum, so a circuit sitting behind a 5V rail sees a 12.1V spike clamped well below any downstream breakdown. The 7.02V reverse standoff voltage is the working voltage at which the TVS stays off and draws only leakage current — it sits cleanly above the nominal rail it protects. The 7.79V minimum breakdown voltage ensures it snaps into conduction predictably, not prematurely at normal operating voltage. ## Clamping performance and the unidirectional Zener topology This is a unidirectional Zener-type TVS — it clamps positive transients relative to ground but does not suppress negative swings. For bidirectional protection (AC rails, differential signal lines), you would need a bidirectional TVS in the same package family. The single channel here serves one polarity only. With a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and an operating range down to -65°C, the part covers the full industrial envelope — including outdoor enclosures and unheated equipment bays where temperature extremes are the norm, not the edge case. ## DO-214AB SMC footprint and thermal considerations The DO-214AB (SMC) package exposes a large cathode pad on the bottom — thermal relief to the PCB plane matters more than the package itself for surge handling. The diode dissipates the clamping energy as heat during the transient; a well-poured copper pad under the cathode tab extends the effective survivable surge count in repetitive-event applications. The 1.5SMC8.2A is listed Active by Central Semiconductor Corp.","metaTitle":"1.5SMC8.2A TR13 PBFREE TVS Diode, 1500W, 7.02V standoff","metaDescription":"Central Semiconductor 1.5SMC8.2A Zener TVS, 1500W peak pulse, 7.02V standoff, 12.1V clamping.
