What the 1500W peak-pulse rating means for your protection window
The 1.5KE39C-B: The single-channel device handles one protected line per package. The DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package is a through-hole form factor with a standard 0.042-inch lead diameter — it fits existing PCB layouts for the 1.5KE family without a footprint change.
Obsolete — sourcing through surplus and broker channels
The 1.5KE series is widely produced, so cross-references from other brands (e.g., Vishay, onsemi) exist with similar voltage and package specs — but those are not formally listed as second sources by Littelfuse.
