Product details

The STMicroelectronics SM15T12A is a unidirectional Zener-type TRANSIL™ TVS diode in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. It is designed to clamp voltage transients on a 10.2 V DC rail, with a minimum breakdown voltage of 11.4 V and a maximum clamping voltage of 21.7 V at the rated peak pulse current of 461 A (8/20 µs waveform).

The SM15T12A is supplied in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, a standard surface-mount outline for medium-power TVS diodes. The SMC body measures approximately 7.1 mm x 6.2 mm with a 2.6 mm height, and the gull-wing leads provide a solder joint that can be inspected visually. The footprint matches the industry-standard SMC land pattern — no special pad geometry needed. The part is rated for a continuous operating junction temperature of 150°C, so the PCB layout should include adequate copper area on the cathode tab to dissipate heat from repetitive surge events.

For volume or scheduled deliveries, an RFQ will return a firm price and lead time based on the requested quantity and date-code requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the SM15T12A available via RFQ confirmation?

The SM15T12A is available to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — stock levels and lead times are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the SM15T12A?

Within the same SM15T TRANSIL™ family, the SM15T12A is the unidirectional 10.2 V standoff variant. Pin-compatible alternatives at different voltage ratings (e.g., SM15T10A for 8.55 V standoff, SM15T15A for 12.8 V standoff) share the same DO-214AB package and footprint, allowing a voltage-class change without a board layout revision.
