1.5 kW clamp in an automotive-grade SMC package
The 1.5SMC12AHM3/I: Its 10.2 V reverse standoff voltage and 11.4 V minimum breakdown mean it starts clamping above that threshold, holding the protected line at 16.7 V maximum under the 89.8 A peak pulse current. AEC-Q101 qualification confirms the device meets automotive-grade stress and reliability screening — suitable for 12 V vehicle bus clamping, telecom line cards, or any 10 V-12 V rail that needs a single unidirectional suppressor in a DO-214AB (SMC) footprint.
Thermal and package reality for the BOM
Packaged in Tape & Reel (TR), it feeds into standard pick-and-place lines. The base product number is 1.5SMC12; the suffix identifies the specific qualification and packaging variant.
