1.5 kW pulse rating and clamping at 482 V
The 1.5SMC350A is a 1500 W peak pulse power TVS diode from the Littelfuse 1.5SMC series, rated for a 10/1000 µs waveform. This is a unidirectional Zener-type suppressor — one channel, cathode band marked on the DO-214AB body. No power line protection flag means it is intended for signal or low-voltage DC bus protection, not mains AC clamping.
Package and board-fit for field replacement
Housed in the standard DO-214AB (SMC) package, the same footprint as the SMCJ series. The body is large enough to hand-solder with a standard iron — no hot-air station required for a field swap. Polarity is marked with a cathode band on the body; the anode side is the tab. On a single-sided board, the tab pad should get a generous copper pour to sink the 1500 W pulse heat into the board.
