The 1.5SMC170A from CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR is a high-performance, Uni-Directional Surface Mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR components. This TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and inductive load switching. With a breakdown voltage of 170V and a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W, the 1.5SMC170A offers robust protection. Its surface mount package allows for easy integration into printed circuit boards. This component is widely used in telecommunications, industrial control, and consumer electronics applications to enhance system reliability and prevent damage from voltage surges. The Uni-Directional configuration provides optimal protection for DC circuits.
