**Littelfuse** · TVS · SOD-123FL

SMF4L15A from Littelfuse, in a SOD-123FL. 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 of the uni-directional TVS diode (marked by the color band), connected to the protected line with VR 15 V and VBR 16.70-18.50 V at 1 mA. |
| 2 | Anode | passive | Anode of the uni-directional TVS diode, normally connected to ground, clamping at a maximum of 24.4 V at 16.4 A Ipp. |
