STMICROELECTRONICS SM15T6V8A/220A SM15T6V8CA/220CA handbook
The SM15T series Transil™ diodes offer high over‑voltage protection by clamping action, suitable for protecting voltage‑sensitive devices such as MOSFETs and low‑voltage ICs. The handbook describes their fast response, low clamping factor, and UL recognition.
The document lists key specifications including peak pulse power, breakdown voltage range, thermal resistances, capacitance curves, mechanical dimensions, and ordering information, together with graphs of pulse power versus duration and clamping voltage versus current.
