Product details

Active AEC-Q101 TVS for 136 V rails

The 1.5SMC160CAHE3/57T: It clamps transients on a 136 V nominal rail to 219 V maximum at 6.8 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). For repetitive events, derate per the datasheet's pulse-derating curve.

Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the same footprint as the SMCJ industry standard. The cathode band is marked for polarity; the bidirectional channel means orientation is irrelevant — the device clamps both polarities symmetrically. The tape-and-reel packaging (: Tape & Reel) suits automated pick-and-place.
