Product details

What the 1.5SMCJ13C is and how it sits in the circuit

The 1.5SMCJ13C is a unidirectional TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diode in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, rated 1500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs waveforms. It sits in parallel with a signal or secondary-side rail and clamps any voltage spike that exceeds its breakdown threshold, protecting downstream ICs and passive components from surge damage. This part is listed as general-purpose and carries Power Line Protection = No, so it is not intended for AC line-front protection — its domain is board-level clamping on 12 V nominal rails.

Standoff, breakdown, and clamping — what each voltage means

The 13 V reverse standoff is the maximum voltage the TVS can block indefinitely in the reverse direction during normal circuit operation — the rail can sit 13 V below ground without the diode conducting. The 14.4 V minimum breakdown is the point where it begins to turn on; until that threshold is crossed the downstream circuit sees nothing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1.5SMCJ13C's listed type and package?

It is listed as a Zener type in a Strip package, surface-mounted in the SMC/DO-214AB case.

Is the 1.5SMCJ13C unidirectional or bidirectional?

It is a unidirectional TVS with 1 bidirectional channel — meaning a single-polarity clamp. For AC rails or dual-polarity protection a bidirectional TVS (two diodes in series, or the bidirectional variant) would be required.
