The 1SMC170A is a high-performance, 1500W unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR. Designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD), this diode offers a robust and reliable solution. With a reverse standoff voltage of 170V, the 1SMC170A effectively clamps transient voltages to safe levels, preventing damage to downstream components. Its SMC (Surface Mount Compatible) package allows for easy integration into automated assembly processes. Supreme Components International is an authorized distributor of CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR, guaranteeing genuine components and expert support. This TVS diode is suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial controls, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics.
