Key parametric fit for the BOM
The 1.5SMC43A: The 1500 W rating at the 10/1000 µs pulse defines the energy-handling capability for surge events — a key parameter when sizing protection for a 24 V or 36 V DC bus against inductive load dumps or lightning-induced transients.
The SMC footprint is larger than the SMA/SMB siblings, providing better thermal dissipation for the 1500 W pulse rating — a consideration for the PCB copper area under the cathode tab.
