The 1SMC48CA is a high-performance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode manufactured by CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR components. This unidirectional TVS diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It features a reverse standoff voltage of 48V and a high peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W. The 1SMC48CA is housed in a compact SMC package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its fast response time and low clamping voltage ensure effective protection against overvoltage conditions. This diode is commonly used in power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems to enhance system reliability and prevent costly damage.
