Protection window and peak pulse capability
The 1.5KE180A-T: The 171V minimum breakdown voltage ensures the device starts conducting before the protected circuit sees overvoltage above the standoff level — this window between 154V and 246V defines the protection envelope for DC bus or AC line transients.
Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial leaded package, the 1.5KE180A-T is a through-hole part suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting with lead forming. The Tape & Reel packaging supports automated insertion for volume builds.
Lifecycle reality for the BOM line
Sourcing for this part runs through independent surplus and broker channels.
