Bidirectional 1500W TVS for 13.6V rails
The 1.5SMC16CAHM3/H: The -65°C to 150°C junction temperature range covers under-hood and engine-bay thermal profiles.
Clamping and breakdown parametrics
The minimum breakdown voltage is 15.2V at 1 mA, ensuring the device starts clamping before the protected rail exceeds its absolute maximum. Single bidirectional channel means one device clamps both polarities — useful on AC-coupled signal lines or DC rails where reverse polarity transients are possible. The DO-214AB (SMC) package footprint is standard for this power class; the same pad layout serves the broader 1.5SMC family.
Automotive-grade supply and lifecycle
Listed as Active in production — no NRND or EOL flag. The AEC-Q101 grade and automotive/telecom application tag make it a candidate for production BOMs requiring a qualified transient suppressor. Sourced through independent and authorized distribution; availability confirmed at RFQ. The 1.5SMC family shares the same package and footprint, so a parametric search within that series (same DO-214AB, same power rating, different standoff voltage) is the natural cross-reference path.
