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

STMicroelectronics 1.5KE68CA 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode is engineered for robust transient voltage suppression in electronic circuits. With a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW, this diode safeguards devices from high-energy voltage spikes typically caused by ESD, lightning, or switching operations.

Featuring a bi-directional configuration, this device can clamp voltage surges from both positive and negative transients, making it versatile for many circuit protection applications. Its through-hole DO-201 package facilitates reliable mounting and excellent thermal and mechanical performance.

The diode supports a minimum breakdown voltage of 64.6 V and a maximum reverse standoff voltage of 58 V, providing precise control of voltage thresholds for prevention of overvoltage damage. The clamping voltage of 121 V ensures the transient voltage is limited during surge events, protecting downstream components effectively.

Designed for demanding environments, the diode operates across a wide temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, ensuring stability even under extreme thermal conditions. Its maximum peak pulse current of 83 A allows absorption of significant transient currents.

Compact size with 9.5 mm length and 5.3 mm diameter offers ease of use in space-restricted designs. This TVS diode’s low maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA helps maintain circuit integrity and power efficiency.

Applications include protection in power supplies, industrial equipment, automotive electronics, telecommunications, and consumer devices, where safeguarding sensitive electronic components is critical.
