Product details

The 1.5SMC480AHE3_A/I: Sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ.

For a 408V standoff voltage (reverse standoff typ), the clamping voltage at peak pulse current is 658V max, limiting the voltage seen by downstream components. The part is a Zener-type TVS with a single unidirectional channel, so it clamps positive transients relative to ground.

Automotive-grade qualification and package

Qualified to AEC-Q101, the automotive discrete semiconductor reliability standard.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1.5SMC480AHE3_A/I in this Circuit Protection family?

A functionally equivalent TVS with the same DO-214AB package and similar standoff/breakdown/clamping voltages would need to be selected from current-production parts; the BOM position may require re-qualification.
