Product details

The 1.5SMC51AHM3_A/H: It is a unidirectional device (single channel) designed to clamp transient overvoltages. Rated for automotive applications, it carries AEC-Q101 qualification, meaning it has passed the reliability stress tests and temperature cycling required for under-hood and chassis-domain electronics. This gives a tight clamping ratio for a 1.5kW device, important for protecting downstream 48V bus or 12V automotive rails from load-dump and inductive kickback transients.

Automotive-grade transient protection

Its AEC-Q101 Grade 0 temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) suits it for engine-bay and underhood environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.

The tape-and-reel packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. The device is surface-mount, and the DO-214AB (SMC) body is compatible with reflow soldering profiles typical for lead-free assembly.
