Active production and BOM-fit for transient protection
The 1.5SMC10CAHM3/I is an active-production bidirectional TVS diode from Vishay's 1.5SMC series, AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications.
Pulse power and clamping performance
The reverse standoff voltage of 8.55V means the diode stays transparent to the circuit until a transient exceeds that threshold, then it shunts the energy to protect downstream components. With a single bidirectional channel, this part protects both polarities in a single DO-214AB (SMC) package — useful for AC-coupled signal lines or power rails where the transient can swing either direction.
AEC-Q101 qualification means this TVS meets the stress and reliability requirements for automotive electronics — temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness. The TransZorb® series is Vishay's branded TVS technology, optimized for fast clamping response and low leakage over temperature.
