Automotive AEC-Q101 Zener TVS, 1500W peak pulse
The 1.5KE160CAHA0G: Reverse standoff voltage is 136 V; breakdown occurs at a minimum of 152 V, clamping at 219 V with a peak pulse current of 7.1 A. Qualified to AEC-Q101, the automotive-grade standard for discrete semiconductors, covering temperature cycling, ESD, and reliability screening for under-hood and chassis applications.
Supplied in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead through-hole package, designated DO-201 as the supplier device package. The axial leads are suited for hand or wave soldering; the body withstands standard rework temperatures without derating the 1500 W pulse capability. Packaged in Tape & Box (TB) for automated insertion — confirm the lead forming and cut length match the board hole pattern before programming the inserter.
No power line protection feature; this is a signal- or low-power rail TVS, not a mains surge suppressor. AEC-Q101 qualification means the part ships with PPAP documentation and traceability — confirm the specific compliance package (RoHS, REACH) with the supplier at RFQ.
