STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1.5 kW, 2-Pin DO-201 1.5KE68CA

STMicroelectronics 1.5KE68CA is a single-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust protection of sensitive electronic circuits against voltage transients. Rated for peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW and encapsulated in a DO-201 axial through-hole package, this diode provides reliable surge protection in industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

This diode is specifically engineered with a minimum breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 64.6 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage (Vwm) of 58 V, enabling it to clamp voltage spikes effectively at a clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V. Its bi-directional nature allows it to suppress both positive and negative transient voltages, making it highly versatile for AC and DC circuits.

Mechanical dimensions include a length of 9.5 mm and a diameter of 5.3 mm, providing a compact footprint suitable for various PCB layouts. It withstands operating temperatures ranging from -65°C up to a maximum of 175°C, ensuring stable performance in extreme environmental conditions.

The device supports a peak pulse current (Ippm) of 83 A and a test current of 1 mA, with a maximum reverse leakage current limited to 1 μA, offering low power dissipation during standby operation. The diode does not incorporate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection features.

STMicroelectronics 1.5KE68CA TVS Diode is ideal for applications in industrial power supplies, telecommunications, and other electronic systems requiring voltage transient suppression for enhanced safety and durability of components.
