SZ1.5SMC15AT3G

Littelfuse · TVS · SMC

SZ1.5SMC15AT3G from Littelfuse, in a SMC. 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 on the package and shown as pin 1 (Cathode) in the part marking diagram; for SZ1.5SMC15AT3G the working peak reverse voltage VRWM is 12.8 V with maximum reverse leakage of 5 µA at VRWM.
2 Anode passive Anode terminal of the unidirectional TVS, shown as pin 2 (Anode) in the part marking diagram; the series is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power at 1 ms (10 x 1000 µs, non-repetitive) and the device is clamped at 21.2 V at a peak pulse current of 71 A for the 15 V part.
