Vishay Uni-Directional 1-Element TVS Diode 1.5 kW 2-Pin Through Hole 1.5KE ICTE12-E3/54

Vishay ICTE12-E3/54 is a uni-directional, 1-element Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode engineered to protect electronic circuits from transient voltage spikes. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW, this device efficiently absorbs voltage surges, safeguarding sensitive components in industrial, automotive, and electronic applications.

This diode features a 2-pin through-hole mount with an axial package style, making it ideal for printed circuit board (PCB) installations. The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 175°C, ensuring durable performance under extreme conditions.

The ICTE12-E3/54 provides a minimum breakdown voltage of 14.1 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 12 V, effectively clamping at 16.5 V to prevent damage from voltage transients. Its maximum peak pulse current rating of 70 A and ultra-low maximum reverse leakage current of 2 μA ensure both protective efficacy and energy efficiency. The diode's single element construction supports focused surge suppression in uni-directional circuits.

Certified to meet the stringent AEC-Q101 automotive quality standards, this TVS diode assures high reliability for automotive and industrial system designers. Its compact dimensions of 9.5 mm length, 5.3 mm diameter and height, combined with the TRANSZORB TVS series design, facilitate integration into space-constrained assemblies while maintaining robust protection.
