1500W bidirectional TVS in DO-214AB
The 1.5SMC16CA TR13 PBFREE is a 1500W bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Central Semiconductor Corp, housed in a standard DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. It clamps transients on a 13.6V nominal rail to 22.5V maximum at the 67A peak pulse current (10/1000µs waveform). The single bidirectional channel means it protects both polarities on a signal line with one device — useful for AC-coupled or bipolar data lines where the transient can swing either direction.
Clamping voltage and surge rating
Operating temperature spans -65°C to 150°C junction — the wide range suits outdoor telecom, automotive under-hood, or industrial control cabinets where ambient extremes are routine.
Package and tape-and-reel format
The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a JEDEC-standard footprint shared by many 1500W TVS diodes — board layout is straightforward and second-source compatible.
