1500 W peak pulse — the surge rating that defines the protection
The 1.5KE510A-B is a 1500 W (1.5 kW) peak pulse power Zener TVS diode from Littelfuse's 1.5KE series, designed to clamp transients on AC or DC power rails. That 698 V clamp is the ceiling the downstream circuitry must survive — a power supply or MOV rated for 700 V+ gives you margin.
Through-hole DO-201 — board-fit and thermal path
Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package, the 1.5KE510A-B mounts through-hole, with the cathode band marking the unidirectional orientation.
