What this TVS is and where it fits
The 1.5SMC16AT3 is an onsemi transient voltage suppressor from the 1.5SMC series, designed to clamp overvoltage spikes on power rails and signal lines in industrial and telecom equipment.
Obsolete — what that means for your BOM
The product status is marked Obsolete. That means onsemi no longer manufactures this exact order code. If you're repairing a board that has one, you can still source it through surplus or distributor inventory — we can quote against your BOM quantity. For new designs or production runs, you'll need to qualify a replacement.
Package and handling note
Supplied on Tape & Reel, the 1.5SMC16AT3 is a standard SMD package compatible with reflow soldering. No special handling beyond normal MSL precautions — but always verify the reel orientation for your feeder before committing a full reel to the line.
