Active production — still a current BOM line item
The 1.5KE8.2A A0G: This is not an NRND or EOL part — it remains in standard production and is available through the usual supply chain. No last-time-buy window to track, no date-code scramble.
The 175°C TJ ceiling means this part survives in engine-bay electronics, industrial oven controls, or outdoor telecom cabinets where ambient temps push 85-105°C. No power line protection feature (cites:) — this is a signal or low-power bus protector, not a mains AC suppressor.
Through-hole DO-201 — board-fit and rework note
Packaged in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial leaded form factor (cites:), supplier device package DO-201 (cites:). The axial leads suit through-hole wave soldering or hand-solder rework. For a repair bench or MRO storeroom, the leaded body is easy to extract and replace without hot-air tools — a practical advantage over surface-mount TVS diodes in the same power class.
