1500 W surge rating in a DO-214AB footprint
The 1.5SMC160A/TR13: The 136 V standoff means the diode stays transparent on a 120 VAC or 130 VDC bus under normal operation, only conducting when the transient exceeds the breakdown threshold.
DO-214AB SMC — standard surface-mount power TVS package
The DO-214AB (SMC) package is the common footprint for 1500 W TVS diodes — it handles the thermal dissipation of a 1.5 kW pulse without requiring through-hole leads. The surface-mount profile suits automated assembly lines using standard reflow profiles for the SMC body size. The wide range also supports outdoor telecom enclosures where the internal air temperature can exceed 85°C on a hot day.
As a general-purpose TVS diode (no power-line protection features), it is intended for signal and low-power DC rail protection rather than AC mains input clamping. The absence of power-line protection means it does not include the higher capacitance or surge current ratings needed for direct mains connection.
