1500W bidirectional transient suppressor for general-purpose protection
The 1.5SMC16CA-E3/9AT: The reverse standoff voltage of 13.6V means this device sits across a 12V nominal rail and stays transparent until a transient pushes the line above its breakdown threshold (minimum 15.2V). The bidirectional configuration protects against both positive and negative surges with a single component.
DO-214AB package and temperature range for board-level integration
Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the 1.5SMC16CA-/9AT uses the same footprint as the SMCJ industry standard. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, suited for automated pick-and-place assembly. The base product number 1.5SMC16 identifies the voltage family; the CA suffix indicates bidirectional polarity, and the prefix denotes Vishay's green/RoHS-compliant termination finish.
