The recommended land pattern for the SM8S15AHE3/2D can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN48374, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of this component.
To prevent damage, handle the SM8S15AHE3/2D by the body, avoiding touching the leads or the glass passivation. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or other ESD protection devices to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for the SM8S15AHE3/2D is 10% of the rated voltage. For example, if the rated voltage is 15V, the maximum allowable voltage derating would be 1.5V.
The SM8S15AHE3/2D is rated for operation up to 150°C. However, it's recommended to derate the voltage and current ratings according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet to ensure reliable operation.
Store the SM8S15AHE3/2D in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Use airtight containers or bags with desiccant packets to maintain a relative humidity below 50%. Avoid exposing the components to temperatures above 30°C or relative humidity above 60%.
