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

STMicroelectronics SM15T68CA is a single-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for protection against voltage surges. This TVS diode provides a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW and is packaged in a 2-pin SMC surface mount form suitable for compact and efficient PCB layouts.

The device features a minimum breakdown voltage of 64.6 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 58 V, enabling robust protection from transient overvoltages. It can safely conduct peak pulse currents up to 83 A and clamp voltage spikes at 121 V, preventing damage to sensitive semiconductor components.

With a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, this TVS diode is suitable for harsh industrial, commercial, and electronic manufacturing environments. Its small form factor, measuring 7.15 mm in length, 6.25 mm in width, and 2.45 mm in height, helps conserve PCB space while providing effective voltage surge suppression.

This diode has low leakage current of 1 µA ensuring minimal power loss and energy efficiency. Although it does not bear automotive standard certifications, it is widely used in electronic circuit protection applications including power supplies, communication devices, and industrial control systems.

Applications include protection of sensitive electronics in industrial, manufacturing, and electronic product design environments where voltage transients may cause equipment failure.
