Surge rating and clamping for 24V rails
The 1.5KE39ARL4 is a 1500W peak pulse power Zener TVS diode from the onsemi Mosorb™ series. Its 33.3V reverse standoff voltage makes it a natural fit for protecting 24V DC power rails — the clamping voltage at 28A peak pulse current (10/1000µs waveform) is 53.9V, which keeps transients off downstream silicon rated for 60V or higher.
Temperature range and package
Operating junction temperature spans -65°C to 175°C, covering engine-bay and outdoor telecom enclosures without derating. The DO-201AD axial package suits through-hole assembly — the lead bend absorbs board flex better than a surface-mount TVS in high-vibration environments.
Obsolete — plan the BOM transition
onsemi has marked the 1.5KE39ARL4 as Obsolete. No official successor is listed in the product status. For existing designs, a last-time buy or a cross to a current-production 1.5KE series variant (e.g., 1.5KE39A in the same DO-201AD package) should be evaluated.
