What the ratings mean for your BOM
The 1.5KE300A-B is a 1500 W peak pulse power Zener TVS diode in a DO-201 axial package.
Diodes Incorporated lists the 1.5KE300A-B as Obsolete. For a BOM that still calls out this exact order code, the procurement path is a spot-market search. The 1.5KE300 family (base product number 1.5KE300) includes other standoff voltages, but a pin-compatible direct replacement with the same 256 V standoff and 1500 W rating would require a parametric cross — no single official second source is listed.
The DO-201AA / DO-27 axial leaded package (supplier device package DO-201) is a through-hole form factor suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting with 0.042-inch diameter leads. The axial body is 9.1 mm long — the lead spacing on the PCB must accommodate the body length plus the bend radius for a flush mount.
