Product details

1.5KE7.5CA-B: 1500 W bidirectional TVS in a DO-201 package

Its 6.4 V reverse standoff voltage (V_RWM) means it begins clamping above a 6.4 V DC rail — a fit for 5 V or 6 V supply lines where the normal operating voltage stays below that threshold and the TVS remains transparent until a transient arrives. Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial-lead package (supplier device package DO-201), it is a through-hole part suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting where a robust leaded form factor is preferred over surface-mount alternatives.

Breakdown, clamping, and the transient budget

The minimum breakdown voltage is 7.13 V — the point at which the device starts to conduct significantly. Below this, leakage is negligible; above it, the diode shunts the surge current to ground. With a single bidirectional channel, this part handles transients of either polarity, simplifying BOM placement on AC-coupled or floating signal lines where the surge polarity is unknown.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1.5KE7.5CA-B's reverse standoff voltage and why does it matter?

The reverse standoff voltage (V_RWM) is 6.4 V. This is the maximum DC voltage the TVS can withstand across its terminals without conducting significantly. For a 5 V or 6 V supply rail, the 1.5KE7.5CA-B sits idle during normal operation and only clamps when a transient pushes the line above its breakdown threshold.

What package does the 1.5KE7.5CA-B come in?

It is supplied in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial-lead through-hole package (supplier device package DO-201). The bulk packaging is suitable for hand-insertion or wave-solder assembly.
