Vishay 1-Element Uni-Directional TVS Diode 1500 W, 2-Pin, Through Hole, 1.5KE Series 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54

Vishay 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54 Uni-Directional TVS Diode is a high-quality transient voltage suppressor designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes and surge events. This single-element diode provides a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 1500 watts, making it an effective device in controlling transient voltages in various automotive and industrial applications.

Constructed with a 2-pin through-hole mount configuration, this diode offers reliable mechanical and electrical connections suitable for PCB implementations. Its compact 1.5KE package, measuring 9.5 mm in length and 5.3 mm in diameter, balances space efficiency with robust power handling capabilities.

The diode has a uni-directional conduction type, ensuring voltage suppression capability only in the forward direction, which is critical for protecting specific circuit sections from transient events. Its clamping voltage of 10.5 V helps limit voltage spikes to safe levels, while the maximum peak pulse current of 143 A accommodates high transient current surges.

Operating over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 175°C and complying with the automotive AEC-Q101 standard, the 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54 model is well suited for automotive as well as demanding industrial environments requiring high reliability. With ESD protection and tight specifications on reverse leakage current (maximum 1 mA) and reverse stand-off voltage (maximum 5.8 V), this TVS Diode ensures stable and predictable performance.

Typical applications include transient voltage protection in power supply lines, automotive electrical systems, industrial control modules, and circuit boards exposed to harsh conditions.
