SM6T15CA

The SM6T15CA is a 15V bidirectional TVS diode designed for transient voltage suppression in electronic circuits. It protects sensitive components from ESD, lightning, and other voltage surges by clamping excess voltage to a safe level.
### Key Features:
- Bidirectional operation (protects against both positive and negative transients).
- Breakdown voltage (VBR): ~16.7V (min).
- Clamping voltage (VC): ~24.4V at 1A.
- Peak pulse current (IPP): 38A (8/20μs waveform).
- Low leakage current (IR): <1μA.
- SMD package (DO-214AA/SMB).
### Applications:
- ESD protection in USB, HDMI, and other data lines.
- Surge protection in power supplies, automotive systems, and industrial electronics.
The SM6T15CA is part of STMicroelectronics' SM6T series, offering robust, fast-response protection in a compact form factor.
