Product details

Clamping performance for a 154V rail

The 1.5KE180CA-B: A single bidirectional channel handles both positive and negative transients, which simplifies board layout in AC or bipolar DC applications where polarity is not fixed.

Package and temperature envelope

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the device is through-hole mounted with the supplier device package designated as DO-201. The axial form factor suits point-to-point wiring or PCB layouts where the leads pass through the board and are soldered on the opposite side. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to +175°C, covering industrial and some automotive under-hood environments where ambient heat plus self-heating from repetitive surges must stay within the die's thermal budget.

Frequently asked questions

What is the peak pulse power rating of the 1.5KE180CA-B?

The 1.5KE180CA-B is rated for 1500W (1.5kW) peak pulse power under a 10/1000µs waveform.

Is the 1.5KE180CA-B a bidirectional or unidirectional TVS?

This is useful for AC-coupled lines or DC rails where polarity reversal is possible.

What package does the 1.5KE180CA-B come in?

The supplier device package is designated as DO-201.
