TVS diode parametrics and protection window
The 1.5KE120CA-T: It protects a single line against transients up to 165 V clamping voltage, with a reverse standoff of 102 V and a minimum breakdown of 114 V. The 9.1 A peak pulse current rating (10/1000 µs) defines the surge capacity at the clamping voltage — a key parameter for selecting the TVS in a given transient environment.
Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the 1.5KE120CA-T is a through-hole device suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting with through-hole pads. The DO-201 footprint is standard across many TVS families, simplifying layout reuse.
This makes it suitable for outdoor, under-hood, or high-reliability environments where thermal cycling is a concern. Diodes Incorporated lists this part as Obsolete. Sourcing is through independent distribution channels; availability and pricing are confirmed at RFQ against the BOM quantity.
