1.5 kW Zener TVS for automotive and telecom bus protection
The 1.5SMC39AHM3/H: It is qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive electronics where reliability screening per the PPAP process is required.
AEC-Q101 qualification and temperature range
AEC-Q101 qualification means this part has passed the automotive-grade stress tests: high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness. The TransZorb® construction delivers low clamping factor and fast response to transients, which is critical for protecting sensitive ECU, sensor, and infotainment bus lines from load-dump and inductive kickback events.
Package and board-fit considerations
The copper pad area under the cathode tab sets the thermal resistance — for the full 1500 W pulse, the PCB copper area should follow the Vishay application note derating curve.
