They are used for surges below 1500 W 10/1000 μs. This planar technology makes it compatible with high-end equipment and SMPS where low leakage current and high junction temperature are required to provide reliability and stability over time. **DS0683** - **Rev 7** - **April 2020** For further information contact your local STMicroelectronics sales office. www.st.com **SM15TxxA, SM15TxxCA Characteristics** **1** ## **Characteristics** **Table 1.
