Littelfuse · TVS · DO-214AB
1.5SMC18A from Littelfuse, in a DO-214AB. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | passive | Cathode terminal of the uni-directional TVS, marked by the color band on the positive end; 1.5SMC18A has VR 15.30 V, VBR 17.10-18.90 V at 1 mA and VC 25.2 V at 60.3 A Ipp. |
| 2 | Anode | passive | Anode terminal of the uni-directional TVS, opposite the cathode band; maximum instantaneous forward voltage is 3.5 V at 100 A for single-die parts. |
