What this 1500W Zener TVS protects
The 1.5KE220A_R2_00001: The breakdown voltage range starts at 209 V minimum, and the clamping voltage at the 4.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform) is 328 V maximum. This is a single unidirectional channel — it protects one polarity rail against positive-going surges. The DO-201AE axial package mounts through a hole in the PCB, with the banded end marking the cathode.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Panjit International Inc. lists the 1.5KE220A_R2_00001 as Obsolete.
The junction temperature range spans -65°C to +175°C, covering industrial, telecom, and outdoor equipment enclosures where the ambient may reach 85°C and the self-heating from repetitive surges adds margin.
