Product details

Active production — 1500 W bidirectional transient suppressor

The 1.5KE16CA B0G: Its 13.6 V reverse standoff voltage protects 12 V rails from transients without conducting during normal operation.

Package and thermal envelope for through-hole designs

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package with a DO-201 supplier device code, the 1.5KE16CA B0G mounts through-hole on a PCB or terminal strip. The 1500 W rating assumes a 10/1000 µs exponential waveform at 25°C ambient. For shorter pulses (8/20 µs) the peak power capability is higher; for elevated ambient temperatures derate per the datasheet curve.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1.5KE16CA B0G's clamping voltage and peak current?

The clamping voltage is 22.5 V maximum at a peak pulse current of 70 A (10/1000 µs waveform). These ratings define the protection window for a 12 V nominal rail.
