STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1.5 kW 2-Pin DO-201 1.5KE18CA

STMicroelectronics 1.5KE18CA is a single element, bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect electronic circuits from transient voltage spikes. It delivers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW, ensuring robust protection in demanding environments. Housed in a 2-pin DO-201 axial through-hole package, this device is suitable for easy PCB mounting and integration into various electronic designs.

The diode features a minimum breakdown voltage of 17.1 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 15.3 V, allowing effective clamping of voltage surges with a clamping voltage rating of 32.5 V. Its superior surge handling capability is further supported by a peak pulse current rating of 308 A, enabling it to withstand high current spikes without damage.

Operating across an extended temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, the 1.5KE18CA ensures reliability and stable operation even under harsh industrial conditions. The device exhibits a very low maximum reverse leakage current of only 1 μA, contributing to energy-efficient designs.

This TVS diode type is ideal for transient voltage suppression applications in industrial electronics, automotive electronics, power supplies, and general purpose electronic circuits where high surge protection is essential. The single element, bi-directional configuration allows for symmetrical protection against both positive and negative transient voltage events.
