TVS diode for 1.5 kW surge protection
The 1.5KE10CA-T: The bidirectional configuration (single channel) means it clamps both positive and negative surges, so no polarity orientation is needed on the board — useful for AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
The part is available through independent surplus and broker inventory, with quantities and date codes confirmed at the time of RFQ.
Temperature range and board-fit note
Rated for continuous junction temperature from -55°C to 175°C, the 1.5KE10CA-T suits environments with wide thermal swings — outdoor telecom, industrial control, or automotive under-hood applications (though it is not AEC-Q certified). The DO-201 axial package (also known as DO-27) is a standard through-hole footprint; it mounts in the same hole pattern as other 1.5KE-series devices and requires no special board preparation beyond a 1.0–1.3 mm lead hole.
Voltage and power ratings at a glance
The 1500 W peak pulse rating at 10/1000 µs is the industry-standard surge capability for this package size — it handles lightning-induced transients and inductive load dumps without secondary protection in many designs. The 8.55 V reverse standoff means the diode does not conduct at normal operating voltages up to that level; above 9.5 V it begins to avalanche, clamping the transient to 14.5 V maximum. Power line protection is explicitly not supported — this part is intended for signal and low-power DC rail clamping, not AC mains or high-energy power entry.
