Product details

Package and temperature envelope

Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the 1.5SMC160AHM3_A/I mounts directly to a PCB pad — the copper area under the cathode tab sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for sustained pulse handling. Operating junction temperature spans -65°C to 150°C, covering the full automotive ambient range with margin for self-heating during repetitive surge events.
