The 12.4V minimum breakdown voltage guarantees the avalanche region starts before the rail exceeds normal tolerance. Clamping at 18.2V at the rated 86A peak pulse current means the TVS holds the transient below the 20-25V abs-max rating typical of 12V-rated ICs and modules. AEC-Q101 qualification adds the reliability screening and temperature cycling that automotive Tier-1s require for PPAP submission. The single bidirectional channel protects one signal or power pair; two unidirectional devices in anti-series would be needed for a dual-rail application. Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the 1.5KE13CAH is a through-hole part intended for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting with 0.050-inch diameter lead holes on a 0.4-inch lead spacing. The axial body sits above the board — the leads absorb thermal expansion, so no special pad pattern is needed beyond the standard DO-201 footprint. Tape-and-reel packaging is the standard delivery format for automated insertion; the reel quantity is set by the manufacturer and confirmed at order. The base product number 1.5KE13 covers the whole 13V family; the 'CA' suffix identifies the bidirectional version, and the 'H' denotes AEC-Q101 automotive grade.","metaTitle":"1.5KE13CAH TVS Diode, 1.5kW, 11.1V Standoff, AEC-Q101","metaDescription":"Taiwan Semiconductor 1.5KE13CAH bidirectional TVS, 1500W peak pulse, 11.1V standoff, 18.2V clamp.
