Product details

Transient suppressor for 440V DC rails

It is rated for 1500W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform) and offers a minimum breakdown voltage of 418V, a reverse standoff of 376V, and a maximum clamping voltage of 776V at 13A peak pulse current (8/20 µs).

Clamping voltage and surge current — what they mean for protection

The 418V minimum breakdown ensures the device starts conducting before the protected rail exceeds its safe limit, while the 776V maximum clamping defines the worst-case voltage the downstream circuitry must survive. The 13A peak pulse current (8/20 µs) gives the surge capacity for typical industrial transients; the 1500W rating (10/1000 µs) is the energy-handling benchmark for longer-duration events. No power-line protection is built in — this is a secondary-side suppressor, not a mains-rated MOV replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the equivalent or replacement for 1.5KE440A?

The 1.5KE440A is part of the STMicroelectronics 1.5KE series; a pin-compatible alternative within the same family would be any unidirectional 1.5KE device with the same DO-201 package and similar breakdown voltage, such as the 1.5KE440CA (bidirectional version). For a direct functional equivalent from other manufacturers, look for a 1500W TVS with a 376V standoff and 418V breakdown in a DO-201 package.
