1500 W peak pulse — what the clamping voltage means for the rail
The 1.5KE220A-HF: When the transient exceeds 209 V, the diode avalanches and clamps at 328 V maximum while shunting 4.57 A of peak pulse current.
DO-201 axial package — board-fit and thermal path
The 1500 W rating is specified at 25°C; derate linearly above that per the datasheet curve — at 150°C the peak pulse capability drops to roughly 25% of the 25°C figure.
