1500W bidirectional TVS for 9.4V rails
The 1.5KE11CA-TP: Its 10.5V minimum breakdown and 15.6V maximum clamping at 97.4A (10/1000µs pulse) mean it protects downstream silicon from lightning-induced surges and load-dump events without letting the rail exceed the safe operating area of typical 12V-rated ICs. The DO-201AE axial package is through-hole, bulk-packed, and easy to hand-solder or wave-solder — no MSL floor-life tracking needed.
Automotive-grade transient protection
Telecom applications are a natural fit — the 10/1000µs pulse shape used to rate the 97.4A peak current correlates to the ITU-T K.20/K.21 lightning surge waveform common on telco line cards.
