TVS diode in the 1.5SMC family
The 1.5SMC91A: The single unidirectional channel handles one polarity of the circuit; the polarity orientation on the board matters — the cathode connects to the positive rail.

Littelfuse 1.5SMC91A unidirectional TVS diode, 77.8V standoff, 86.5V min breakdown, 125V clamping, 12.2A peak pulse, 1.5kW peak pulse power, DO-214AB SMC surface-mount.

It protects general-purpose circuits from voltage transients — the 77.8 V standoff and 86.5 V breakdown sit above standard 24 V and 48 V rails, and the 125 V clamping ceiling keeps downstream components within their abs-max ratings during a surge event. The 1.5 kW peak pulse rating means it survives single-event transients up to that energy without degradation.
