1.5 kW peak pulse in an axial DO-201 package
The 1.5KE16AHA0G is a 1500 W (1.5 kW) unidirectional TVS diode from Taiwan Semiconductor, clamping at 22.5 V maximum with a 70 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). Rated for a reverse standoff voltage of 13.6 V and a minimum breakdown of 15.2 V, it protects 12 V nominal rails against transients up to the clamping ceiling.
Automotive-grade transient suppression
AEC-Q101 qualification means this diode meets the automotive stress and reliability tests — temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD — required for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering the full automotive temperature envelope with margin for self-heating during a pulse.
