Product details

Automotive-grade surge clamping for 12V/24V rails

The 1.5SMC13CAHM3/H: AEC-Q101 qualification (series Automotive, AEC-Q101, 1.5SMC, TransZorb®) confirms the device meets automotive-grade reliability screening, including high-temperature reverse bias and temperature cycling — essential for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics.

Bidirectional protection in a single DO-214AB package

A single bidirectional channel clamps both positive and negative surges symmetrically, eliminating the need for two series diodes or a bridge arrangement. The DO-214AB (SMC) package delivers a low-inductance surface-mount footprint suitable for automated assembly, with a supplier device package of DO-214AB (SMC). The -65°C to 150°C junction temperature range covers the full automotive ambient envelope, including engine-bay soak temperatures above 125°C.

Active production — sourcing posture

The product status is Active, meaning the manufacturer continues to produce the 1.5SMC13CAHM3/H. No last-time-buy window or obsolescence notice is in effect.
