1.5SMC540A

Littelfuse · TVS · DO-214AB

1.5SMC540A 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 unidirectional TVS, marked by the color band, which is the positive end; the 1.5SMC540A has a 460V reverse standoff voltage and 513-567V breakdown at 1mA.
2 Anode passive Anode terminal of the unidirectional TVS, which clamps at a maximum of 740V at 2.0A peak pulse current and conducts forward like a diode (VF 3.5V max at 100A for single-die parts).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: 1.5SMC540A
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_SMC
  • 3D model: DO-214AB (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: 1-5smc540a-etched.step / 1-5smc540a-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); 1-5smc540a.step / 1-5smc540a.glb are the bare package body.
