The 5.5A peak pulse current rating is the current the diode can handle at the clamping voltage for the standard 10/1000µs surge — a typical lightning or inductive-load transient. For a 171V rail, the 180V breakdown provides a guard band against normal line ripple and tolerance. ## Package and board integration Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-leaded through-hole package, the 1.5KE200-B mounts with the cathode band oriented per the circuit polarity — this is a unidirectional device, so reverse-voltage protection is not built in. The axial leads suit point-to-point wiring or PCB through-holes; the DO-201 body is larger than the smaller DO-41 or SMA packages, which means higher surge capacity at the cost of board space. The wide range also means no derating is needed for most outdoor telecom or power-supply applications. ## Sourcing an obsolete TVS diode For a BOM line locked to this order code, the sourcing path is the surplus and broker market. The 1.5KE series is a long-running TVS family, so inventory of this voltage variant still circulates. Expect to verify date code and lot traceability at quote; no manufacturer warranty applies through non-authorized channels.","metaTitle":"1.5KE200-B Littelfuse TVS Diode, 1500W, DO-201","metaDescription":"Obsolete Littelfuse 1.5KE200-B unidirectional TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse, 171V standoff, DO-201 axial.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Littelfuse Inc.","Type":"Zener","Series":"1.5KE","Package":"Bulk","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-201AA, DO-27, Axial","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"1.5KE","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-201","Unidirectional Channels":"1","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"180V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"287.7V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"171V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"5.5A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/149eca2cbf10498ecc0c7eab912fe9f4.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What package does the 1.5KE200-B come in?","answer":"It is a through-hole axial-leaded device in a DO-201AA (DO-27) package, supplied in bulk.
