Product details

Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the 1.5SMC16CAHE3/57T mounts on standard PCB land patterns for this footprint. Operating temperature range spans -65°C to +150°C junction, covering under-hood and engine-bay thermal profiles without derating.

As an AEC-Q101 qualified device, it meets the automotive-grade reliability screening requirements — temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness per the standard. The TransZorb series designation indicates the silicon avalanche technology used for consistent clamping performance over the operating life.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1.5SMC16CAHE3/57T suitable for automotive 12 V systems?

Yes. The AEC-Q101 qualification confirms it meets the reliability requirements for under-hood and passenger-cabin deployment.
