1500W bidirectional TVS for 12V rail clamping
The 1.5KE12CA A0G: It clamps a 12V nominal rail: reverse standoff is 10.2V, breakdown triggers at 11.4V min, and the clamping voltage at 94A peak pulse current is 16.7V max. The single bidirectional channel means one device protects both polarities — no need to series two unidirectional parts. The 1500W rating at the 10/1000µs test waveform gives you the energy-handling budget for industrial power supply transients, surge events on 12V battery lines, or general-purpose board-level ESD clamping.
Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial-lead package, the 1.5KE12CA A0G is a through-hole device supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format. The axial body suits point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting with lead bending — the 0.042-inch (1.07 mm) diameter leads handle the 94 A peak pulse without fusing.
Active production — sourcing posture
