Automotive-grade transient suppression for 48V rails
The Vishay 1.5SMC51AHE3/57T is a 1500W peak-pulse-power Zener TVS diode from the 1.5SMC series, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. It clamps transients at 70.1V maximum with a 43.6V reverse standoff, making it a fit for protecting 48V nominal power buses in engine control units, battery management systems, and DC-DC converter input stages.
DO-214AB SMC footprint and board integration
The JEDEC footprint matches the industry-standard SMCJ outline, simplifying layout reuse across the 1.5SMC family.
