The 1.5SMCJ18C is a high-performance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by DIPTRONICS. As a bidirectional TVS diode, it provides symmetrical voltage protection, making it suitable for AC and DC applications. With a standoff voltage of 18V and a peak pulse power rating of 1.5kW, this diode effectively clamps transient voltages, preventing damage to downstream circuitry. Its SMC (Surface Mount Component) package allows for efficient heat dissipation and easy integration into circuit boards. Typical applications include protection against ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surges in power lines, communication lines, and data lines. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of DIPTRONICS, guaranteeing genuine components and reliable performance.
