Clamping threshold and surge rating
The 1.5SMC51CAHE3/9AT: For a 43.6 V nominal rail, this part clamps transients below 70.1 V, keeping downstream components within their voltage rating.
Automotive grade and package
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms the part meets automotive stress tests: temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness. The bidirectional channel protects both polarities from a single device, reducing component count on the PCB.
The part carries the TransZorb® trademark and is part of Vishay's automotive-grade 1.5SMC family.
