Obsolete 1.5KE68CA_R2_00001 — last-time-buy sourcing
For sustainment of existing boards, the only path is to source remaining inventory against an RFQ.
Clamping performance — 92 V at 16.3 A
This is a bidirectional Zener-type TVS diode from the 1.5KE series. It clamps a 10/1000 µs surge to 92 V maximum at a peak pulse current of 16.3 A, absorbing 1500 W of peak pulse power. The 58.1 V reverse standoff voltage means the part does not conduct appreciably below that rail — it sits transparently across a 48 V or 56 V bus until a transient exceeds the standoff threshold. Breakdown starts at 64.6 V minimum.
DO-201AE axial — board-fit for through-hole designs
Housed in a DO-201AE axial-lead package, the 1.5KE68CA_R2_00001 mounts through-hole. The bidirectional configuration means a single device clamps both polarities — no need to series two unidirectional parts for AC or bipolar rails.
