1500W transient clamp for 30.8V rails
The 1.5SMC36AHM3_A/H: AEC-Q101 qualification means this part has passed the automotive reliability stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD sensitivity screening — it is designed for under-hood and chassis-domain electronics where the ambient temperature can swing from -65°C to 150°C.
Protection window and breakdown margin
At the 30.1A peak pulse current the clamping voltage is held to 49.9V maximum, which keeps the downstream electronics within the 60V typical absolute-maximum rating of common automotive ICs and modules.
Supplied on Tape & Reel, the part is compatible with high-speed pick-and-place assembly lines; the reel quantity is set by the Vishay standard packaging code for the SMC case size.
Active lifecycle and sourcing
For BOM planning, the base product number 1.5SMC36 covers both the AEC-Q101 qualified (AHM3 suffix) and commercial-grade variants — the automotive version adds the AEC-Q101 screening and full PPAP documentation, which is the right choice for any production vehicle program.
