Product details

1.5kW bidirectional TVS in a through-hole axial package

The 1.5KE15CAHB0G: It clamps transients at 21.2V max with a peak pulse current of 74A, and its 12.8V reverse standoff voltage makes it a fit for 12V nominal rails that see load-dump or inductive kickback. Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial-lead package (supplier device package DO-201), it mounts through-hole — hand-solderable on a perfboard or a production wave-solder line. The bulk packaging means you get loose tubes or bag, not a reel, so it's fine for bench prototyping or low-volume builds.

Automotive-grade qualification and operating range

The bidirectional channel clamps both polarities with a single device — useful on AC-coupled lines or where the signal swings below ground. Power line protection is marked 'No', so it's intended for signal or low-power supply rails, not mains.

Frequently asked questions

What is 1.5KE15CAHB0G's listed type and grade?

The type is Zener — a bidirectional TVS diode that clamps transients using the Zener breakdown mechanism. The grade is Automotive, backed by AEC-Q101 qualification, meaning it meets automotive reliability and temperature requirements.
