TransZorb® TVS diode, 1500 W bidirectional clamp
The 1.5KE10CA-E3/54: It clamps transients at 14.5 V maximum while conducting 103 A peak pulse current, protecting downstream silicon from overvoltage events on a general-purpose DC bus or signal line.
Peak pulse current and clamping voltage
At the 10/1000 µs test waveform, the 1.5KE10CA-/54 clamps a 103 A surge to 14.5 V maximum. The 1500 W peak pulse rating is the product of clamp voltage and peak current at the specified pulse width. Derating for higher ambient temperature or longer pulse duration follows the standard TVS derating curve — at 175 °C junction the peak pulse power drops to zero per the datasheet profile.
Package and board integration
Available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) packaging — the -/54 suffix denotes the 54-mm tape-and-reel format suitable for automated insertion. The base product number is 1.5KE10, with the CA suffix indicating bidirectional polarity and the /54 suffix specifying the lead-free finish and reel packaging.
