Product details

1500 W bidirectional transient suppressor

The 1.5KE6V8CA-B: Its 5.8 V reverse standoff voltage (working voltage) and 6.45 V minimum breakdown voltage place it on the 6.8 V nominal rail — the clamping voltage at peak current is 10.5 V, which defines the protected circuit's voltage ceiling during a surge. The single bidirectional channel clamps both polarities, so no polarity orientation is needed on the PCB — one device covers the line-to-ground pair on a 5 V or 6.8 V supply bus.

DO-201 axial package and temperature range

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the device is through-hole mounted with a supplier device package designation of DO-201. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering industrial and automotive under-hood thermal environments without derating at the high end. The part is supplied in bulk packaging, typical for through-hole TVS diodes used in high-volume insertion or manual assembly.
