Product details

1500 W peak pulse, 136 V standoff — the clamping margin for 120 V rails

The 1.5SMC160CA-E3/9AT: The single bidirectional channel means one device handles both positive and negative surges, simplifying board layout and reducing component count on a bipolar rail or AC line.

DO-214AB (SMC) footprint and thermal range

Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) package, the device is surface-mount with a standard JEDEC footprint shared across the 1.5SMC family. Operating temperature spans -65°C to +150°C junction, covering the full industrial and automotive ambient range without derating concerns at the board level.
