STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode 1.5 kW Peak Pulse Power 2-Pin SMC SM15T15CA

STMicroelectronics SM15T15CA is a 1-Element Bi-Directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode designed for protecting sensitive electronics from voltage transients, such as surge and electrostatic discharge events. The device supports a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW and is housed in a surface mount SMC package with 2 pins for efficient PCB mounting.

This TVS diode features a single diode configuration optimized for bi-directional voltage suppression, capable of handling transient voltages up to 27.2 V clamping voltage. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, ensuring durability in harsh industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.

The component’s compact size with dimensions of 7.15 mm length, 6.25 mm width, and 2.45 mm height, facilitates its integration into space-constrained circuit designs. It offers a minimum breakdown voltage of 14.3 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 12.8 V, making it ideal for protecting circuits operating around these voltage levels.

With a peak pulse current rating of 368 A, the SM15T15CA handles high transient surge currents effectively, while its low maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA minimizes power consumption during normal operation.

These characteristics make it suitable for a broad range of applications including power supplies, automotive electronics (not compliant with specific automotive standards but useful in general purposes), industrial controls, and telecommunications equipment where robust transient voltage protection is critical.
