Product details

1500W bidirectional TVS for 154V rail protection

The 1.5KE180CAHA0G: It clamps at 246V maximum and triggers breakdown at 171V minimum, with a reverse standoff of 154V — sized for 150V–160V DC rails or 120V AC lines where bidirectional clamping is needed. A single bidirectional channel means one device protects both polarities without needing two diodes back-to-back, saving board space and reducing part count on the BOM.

AEC-Q101 automotive qualification

This part carries AEC-Q101 qualification, the automotive discrete semiconductor reliability standard. It is tested for temperature cycling, ESD sensitivity, and high-temperature reverse bias — necessary for Tier-1 PPAP submissions and under-hood or cabin electronics.

Through-hole DO-201 package and sourcing posture

Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial-lead package, the 1.5KE180CAHA0G mounts through-hole — the leadframe carries the 6.4A peak pulse current without the trace-width constraints of a surface-mount pad. Sourced through authorized and independent distribution; lead time and pricing confirmed at RFQ against the BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1.5KE180CAHA0G?

Other 1.5KE series bidirectional TVS diodes in the same DO-201 package with matching standoff voltage may function as a parametric alternative, but confirm the breakdown and clamping specifications against the BOM requirement.
