Vishay 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 1500 W, 2-Pin, Through Hole Mount 1.5KE150CA-E3/54

Vishay 1.5KE150CA-E3/54 is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for the protection of sensitive electronic circuits against voltage spikes and transient surges. This diode features a single diode configuration with bi-directional voltage suppression capability, making it suitable for AC and DC applications where voltage transients need to be quickly clamped and dissipated.

The diode is housed in a 1.5KE axial through-hole package with two pins, facilitating easy mounting on printed circuit boards for industrial, automotive, and electrical applications. Its peak pulse power dissipation rating of 1500 W and clamping voltage of 207 V ensure that it can absorb high energy transients efficiently without damage.

The device operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, meeting stringent automotive standards including AEC-Q101 certification, which confirms suitability for automotive system protection. The maximum reverse leakage current is exceptionally low at 1 μA, helping to minimize power loss and maintain circuit integrity under normal operating conditions.

With a minimum breakdown voltage of 143 V and maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 128 V, this TVS diode protects circuits by clamping transient voltages to safe levels and preventing damaging voltage spikes. It has a maximum peak pulse current rating of 7.2 A for transient absorption capability. The included electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection further safeguards sensitive semiconductor devices from sudden static discharges and voltage spikes commonly encountered during manufacturing and operation.

Compact in size, the diode measures 9.5 mm in length and 5.3 mm in diameter and height, making it appropriate for use in dense electronic circuit assemblies and industrial control equipment.
