Detailed Specs

The SMCJ1.5KE75CA-TP is a bidirectional TVS diode with a stand-off voltage of 75V. The 'CA' suffix indicates it is bidirectional. The peak pulse power dissipation is rated at 1500W for a 10/1000μs pulse. The clamping voltage is designed to limit the voltage across the protected circuit to a safe level during a transient event. The operating temperature range is typically from -55°C to +150°C. It is vital to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for precise electrical characteristics, including the clamping voltage at specific test currents, reverse leakage current, forward voltage drop, and surge current capability. The datasheet also provides details on the device's capacitance and its ability to handle repetitive surge events.
