Unidirectional TVS clamp — what the standoff, breakdown and clamping triad means
The 1.5SMC91A/TR7 is a unidirectional Zener-type TVS diode in the DO-214AB (SMC) package, protecting a circuit by clamping transients above its breakdown threshold. The reverse standoff voltage of 77.8 V sets the normal working rail — the device sits idle below this and activates once the transient pushes the line into breakdown above 86.5 V minimum.
The part ships on tape and reel or cut tape, suitable for standard SMT pick-and-place.
