Frequently asked questions
What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1.5SMC16CAHM3_A/H in this Circuit Protection family?
The 1.5SMC series includes several bidirectional 13.6 V standoff variants in the same DO-214AB package, such as the standard 1.5SMC16CA (non-automotive grade). The AEC-Q101 qualification and the HM3 screening are the differentiators — the electrical ratings (1.5 kW, 22.5 V clamp, 66.7 A peak) are identical across the family.
