STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1.5 kW 2-Pin SMC SM15T68CA

STMicroelectronics SM15T68CA is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients and surges. This device supports a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW, offering excellent defense against damage caused by voltage spikes in alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) environments.

Housed in a surface mount SMC package, the diode ensures ease of integration into automated PCB processes, providing compact and reliable circuit protection. Its bi-directional characteristic protects circuits against both positive and negative voltage spikes, typical in industrial, electronic, automotive, and communication applications.

The diode features a minimum breakdown voltage of 64.6 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 58 V, allowing it to clamp transients effectively. It can handle peak pulse currents of up to 83 A and maintain a clamping voltage of 121 V to safeguard components downstream.

Operating reliably over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, the device is well-suited for harsh environments requiring durable electronic protection. The small assembly dimensions of 7.15 mm length, 6.25 mm width, and 2.45 mm height make it ideal for compact electronic designs.

Typical applications for the SM15T68CA include protection in power supplies, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, communication devices, and other sensitive electronic equipment where transient voltage suppression is critical to system longevity and stability.
