Active production, 1500 W bidirectional transient suppressor
The 1.5KE6.8CA-G: The 10.5 V clamp at 142.86 A peak pulse current means the TVS holds the transient below the abs-max rating of downstream 5 V logic or 3.3 V I/O — a key margin check for the BOM engineer sizing the protection stage.
Clamping voltage and breakdown window for rail protection
Minimum breakdown voltage is 6.46 V, with the reverse standoff at 5.8 V — the device stays transparent below the normal rail voltage and starts conducting when the transient pushes the line above the breakdown threshold. Operating temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C junction, covering the full industrial and automotive thermal envelope without derating the peak pulse power at the high end.
DO-201 axial package and through-hole mounting
Supplier device package is DO-201; the axial form factor suits point-to-point wiring on terminal blocks or traditional PCB layouts where surface-mount TVS creepage distance is insufficient.
