Obsolete — last-time-buy sourcing for sustainment
Panjit International Inc. lists the 1.5KE13CA_R2_00001 as Obsolete.
1500 W bidirectional clamping — what the ratings mean
The bidirectional channel clamps both polarities, so a single device protects a signal pair against positive and negative transients without needing two diodes back-to-back. Reverse standoff voltage is 11.1 V; the device begins conducting at the minimum breakdown of 12.4 V and clamps the peak to 18.2 V at 82 A. For a 12 V rail, this means the protected line sees no more than 18.2 V during a surge — well within the abs-max of most downstream 12 V-rated ICs. Operating temperature spans -65°C to +175°C junction, covering the full military-grade range. The DO-201AE axial package is a through-hole form factor suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting where a soldered lead provides mechanical strain relief.
