Product details

Package and board-fit for field replacement

The 1.5SMC18CA-Q: Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the part is a standard footprint swap — no lab bench needed, just a reflow profile or hot-air station. Operating from -55°C to 150°C junction, it handles under-hood thermal cycling without derating the clamping voltage.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1.5SMC18CA-Q?

The 1.5SMC-Q series includes other voltage variants in the same DO-214AB package, but the 18V bidirectional version is unique.
