The 7.02 V reverse standoff is the working voltage the line sits at without the TVS conducting; above that the Zener characteristic kicks in and the device clamps at 12.1 V maximum, protecting whatever is behind it. The downstream protection budget is set by that 12.1 V clamp ceiling: the IC above it needs to survive 12.1 V for the event duration, not the full surge amplitude. The breakdown minimum of 7.79 V sits just above the 8.2 V nominal rating — this is the turn-on threshold. The gap between standoff and breakdown is the allowed operating window, and the gap between breakdown and clamping is the TVS working region during a transient event. ## Thermal headroom and the automotive/industrial temperature grade Rated junction temperature runs to 150°C, which is notably higher than the commercial 0–70°C or industrial −40–85°C grade common on many surface-mount discretes. That headroom matters in enclosed panels or near heat sources where local ambient can run 100–120°C and the TVS sits on a thermal pad with limited copper spreading. A 150°C Tj ceiling gives the thermal designer real margin before derating kicks in. ## Bidirectional protection and the CA polarity variant The single bidirectional channel makes this suitable for AC-line protection or for protecting the positive and negative rails of a differential signal pair symmetrically. The CA suffix in the 1.5SMC series designates the bidirectional polarity variant — the C indicates bidirectional and the A denotes the voltage tolerance grade within the series. The DO-214AB (SMC) is a flat, wide-body SMD package — the cathode bar is the large central pad, which needs adequate copper area on the PCB for thermal spreading. For a 1.5 kW TVS the recommended land pattern is on the aggressive side of the IPC-7525 footprint to keep junction-to-ambient thermal resistance low. The Tape & Reel packaging suits high-volume pick-and-place lines. Taiwan Semiconductor lists this part as Active. Sourced through independent distribution alongside the franchised channel, with availability and pricing confirmed against an RFQ.","metaTitle":"1.5SMC8.2CA M6G TVS Diode, 7.02V Standoff, 12.1V Clamp","metaDescription":"Taiwan Semiconductor 1.5SMC8.2CA M6G bidirectional TVS diode, 7.02V standoff, 12.1V clamping, 130A peak pulse, 1.5kW, DO-214AB SMC, -55°C to 150°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation","Type":"Zener","Series":"1.5SMC","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"DO-214AB, SMC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"1.5SMC8.2","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-214AB (SMC)","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"7.79V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"12.1V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"7.02V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"130A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/1.5SMC8.2CA%20M6G/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What compliance documentation does Taiwan Semiconductor provide for the 1.5SMC8.2CA M6G?","answer":"Confirm RoHS and REACH status directly with the supplier at RFQ if compliance documentation is required for the build."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/taiwan-semiconductor-corporation/1.5SMC8.2CA-M6G","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/taiwan-semiconductor-corporation/1.5SMC8.2CA-M6G when reusing this data.
