1.5SMC6.8A-E3 from Vishay Intertech, in a SMC(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, marked by the cathode band on uni-directional types; on bi-directional types there is no marking and the device is symmetrical, with electrical characteristics applying in both directions. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal of the uni-directional TVS (the end without the cathode band); 1.5SMC6.8A has a 5.8 V stand-off voltage and 6.45 V to 7.14 V breakdown voltage at 10 mA. |
