Product details

The 1.5SMC51A-E3/9AT: The cathode band on the body marks the unidirectional orientation — the anode is the larger tab, which also serves as the primary heat path into the PCB copper pour. No power-line protection feature — this is a signal or low-voltage DC bus clamp, not an AC mains protector.

Active production — no LTB pressure

Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) — the /9AT suffix indicates the 13-inch reel quantity.

Frequently asked questions

What voltage rail does 1.5SMC51A-/9AT protect?

Breakdown starts at 48.5V min, and it clamps surge current to 70.1V max — protecting a 48V telecom bus or a 36V industrial supply with typical 60V-rated downstream components.
