1500 W clamping in a DO-201 axial body
The 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G: That 130 A peak pulse current gets clamped to 12.1 V max — the voltage a downstream IC sees during a surge event. Reverse standoff is 7.02 V typical, meaning the diode stays off below that rail voltage and only starts conducting when the transient exceeds the 7.79 V breakdown minimum.
Package fit and mounting
Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, with the supplier device package designated as DO-201. The through-hole body is standard for leaded TVS diodes — the axial leads handle the surge current without trace lift-off, and the package footprint is shared across the 1.5KE series. The base product number is 1.5KE8.2, so the 'CAHR0G' suffix denotes the bidirectional configuration and the automotive grade.
