The reverse standoff voltage of 5.8 V is the maximum DC voltage the TVS can sit across without conducting leakage current — it matches the nominal operating voltage of a 5 V rail with margin. The minimum breakdown voltage of 6.45 V ensures the device does not clip normal rail ripple or startup overshoot. ## Automotive grade and deployment environment The 1.5KE6.8CA-TP carries an automotive grade designation, meaning it is qualified for the temperature and reliability demands of vehicle electrical systems. The device is also listed for telecom applications, where the 1500 W pulse rating covers the primary-side surge requirements of GR-1089 and ITU-T K.20/K.21. ## Package and board integration The DO-201AE axial-lead package (through-hole) is the standard footprint for 1500 W TVS diodes. The axial leads insert into plated through-holes on the PCB and are wave-soldered — the large body and lead diameter handle the thermal pulse of a 1500 W surge without lifting pads or cracking solder joints. The supplier device package is also DO-201AE, so the mechanical outline matches the JEDEC standard for this power class. The bulk packaging means the parts ship in a tube or bag, not on tape-and-reel — this is the standard delivery format for through-hole axial diodes and is compatible with hand-insertion or selective-solder assembly. No moisture sensitivity level (MSL) applies to the DO-201AE body; it is a hermetic glass-passivated junction that does not require bake-out before soldering.","metaTitle":"1.5KE6.8CA-TP TVS Diode, 1500W, 6.8V Bidirectional, DO-201AE","metaDescription":"Micro Commercial Co 1.5KE6.8CA-TP Zener TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse power, 5.8V reverse standoff, 10.5V clamping, DO-201AE axial, active production, automotive","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Micro Commercial Co","Type":"Zener","Grade":"Automotive","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Applications":"Telecom","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-201AE, Axial","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"1.5KE6.8","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-201AE","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"6.45V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"10.5V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"5.8V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"144.8A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.4584","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/9600442db46e1e617905b120f9f9b3c6.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the 1.5KE6.8CA-TP suitable for automotive use?","answer":"Yes, the device carries an automotive grade designation, meaning it is qualified for the temperature range and reliability requirements of vehicle electrical systems."},{"question":"What package does the 1.5KE6.8CA-TP use?","answer":"It uses the DO-201AE axial-lead through-hole package, which is the standard JEDEC outline for 1500 W TVS diodes.
