1500W bidirectional clamp for 12V rails
The 1.5SMC12CH: It clamps transients on a nominal 12V bus: reverse standoff voltage is 9.72V, breakdown starts at 10.8V, and clamping is held to 17.3V at the 91A peak pulse current.
Package and assembly fit
Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, this is a surface-mount device supplied on Tape & Reel for pick-and-place. The SMC footprint is larger than the smaller SMA/SMB siblings — the extra copper area under the cathode tab helps spread the thermal pulse during a 10/1000µs surge, keeping the junction within its 150°C limit.
