1.5SMC51CA-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 | A1 | passive | Bidirectional (CA suffix) TVS terminal with electrical characteristics applying in both directions and no polarity marking, interchangeable with the other terminal (VWM 43.6 V, VBR 48.5 V to 53.6 V for the 51CA). |
| 2 | A2 | passive | Bidirectional (CA suffix) TVS terminal with electrical characteristics applying in both directions and no polarity marking, interchangeable with the other terminal (VC max 70.1 V at IPPM 21.4 A for the 51CA). |
