Product details

Transient protection for a 154V rail

The 1.5SMC180CA-M3/9AT: The single bidirectional channel means a single device handles both positive and negative transients on the same line, simplifying board layout and reducing component count compared to using two unidirectional diodes back-to-back.

Temperature range and package fit

Rated for continuous operation from -65°C to 150°C junction temperature, the diode suits applications exposed to wide thermal swings — automotive engine bays, industrial control cabinets, or outdoor telecom enclosures. The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a standard surface-mount footprint, compatible with common reflow soldering profiles and pick-and-place assembly. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, ready for automated assembly lines.
