SMPC51AN-M3

Vishay Intertech · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · TO-277A

SMPC51AN-M3 from Vishay Intertech, in a TO-277A. 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 Anode 1 passive Anode terminal 1 of the SMPCxxAN uni-directional TVS; the two anode terminals are connected together, and the datasheet's electrical characteristics apply only when both identical-polarity terminals are connected.
2 Anode 2 passive Anode terminal 2 of the SMPCxxAN uni-directional TVS; connect it with anode 1, as the datasheet's electrical characteristics apply only when both identical-polarity terminals are connected.
3 Cathode passive Cathode (K) of the SMPCxxAN, which the datasheet table lists as the cathode on the heatsink; the page 1 drawing labels it 3 and the package outline marks the cathode band.
