The 1.5SMC440C is listed as Obsolete by Littelfuse.
Zener TVS parametrics and fit
A bidirectional Zener TVS diode, the 1.5SMC440C clamps transients on both polarities — the single channel handles surges in either direction without a series diode. Peak pulse power is rated at 1500 W (1.5 kW) for the 10/1000 µs pulse — this sets the energy-handling ceiling for a single transient event.
DO-214AB footprint and board integration
Surface-mount with a standard JEDEC footprint — the cathode band is marked on the body for orientation. The tape-and-reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place for volume assembly.
