That 219V ceiling is the voltage the downstream silicon sees — if the protected device's abs-max rating sits below that, the TVS absorbs the energy before the IC fails. ## Package and board-fit reality Supplied in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package, through-hole mount. The DO-201 footprint is a standard 0.375-inch lead spacing — the same hole pattern used by 1.5KE, P6KE, and SA series TVS diodes, so a board already laid out for those families accepts this part without a layout change. Tape-and-box packaging (TB) per the evidence, not reel. That spans the full industrial range and reaches into automotive underhood zones — an ECU on a 105°C ambient summer day still has 45°C of junction margin before derating. No power line protection (the device is not designed for AC mains clamping), so keep it on DC rails and signal lines.","metaTitle":"Comchip 1.5KE160A-HF TVS Diode, 1500W, 219V Clamp, DO-201","metaDescription":"1.5KE160A-HF Zener TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse, 219V clamping at 6.85A, DO-201 axial.
