1500W bidirectional TVS for transient suppression
The 1.5KE6.8CA_R2_00001: It clamps transients at 10.5V maximum while conducting 143A peak pulse current, making it a solid choice for protecting 5.8V rails from surges and ESD events on general-purpose circuit boards.
Breakdown and clamp voltages for rail protection
The 10.5V clamping voltage means the protected IC sees no more than that peak during a 143A surge event. The bidirectional configuration (single channel) handles symmetrical clamping, so polarity doesn't matter during installation — useful for AC-coupled lines or when the repair bench doesn't want to double-check orientation.
Through-hole DO-201AE for board-level rework
Housed in a DO-201AE axial package with through-hole mounting, this part is a natural fit for hand-soldering and rework. The axial leads let it sit flush on the board or stand off for better airflow — a common trick on power-entry boards where the TVS lives near the input connector. Operating temperature spans -65°C to 175°C junction, which covers everything from cold-start automotive to hot industrial enclosures without derating concerns.
