The 1.5KE180ARL4 is a transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode from onsemi's 1.5KE series, designed to clamp voltage spikes on power rails and signal lines in industrial and telecom equipment. — loose devices, not tape-and-reel — which suits bench-level assembly or low-volume production but requires manual handling for pick-and-place.
Lifecycle reality: obsolete, plan your BOM
For a BOM that requires this exact order code, the only sourcing path is existing distributor or broker inventory. Confirm availability and lead time at quote; a last-time buy may not be possible.
Sourcing and fit check
Because the 1.5KE180ARL4 is obsolete, verify that the breakdown voltage and clamping characteristics match your protection requirement before committing to a substitute. The part is not moisture-sensitive per standard JEDEC levels, but bulk loose devices can accumulate static charge if not handled properly.
