DO-201 axial TVS — board-fit and parametric baseline
The 1.5KE220C-B: The 1500W (1.5kW) peak pulse power rating at 10/1000µs waveform defines its transient energy-handling capability for a single surge event. The 185V standoff means the TVS draws negligible leakage below normal line voltage, making it suitable for 120VAC or 170VDC rail protection where the steady-state rail stays under the standoff threshold. The single bidirectional channel protects against both positive and negative transients without needing two diodes back-to-back — a space-saving advantage on the board.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Littelfuse has marked the 1.5KE220C-B as Obsolete. No official successor order code is recorded in the lifecycle data. A board-level qualification of any alternative is recommended before substitution.
