Product details

Voltage thresholds and clamping performance

The 1.5KE10CA-E3/73: The 14.5 V clamp ceiling means a 12 V bus sees less than 21 % overvoltage during a surge event, staying within the typical absolute maximum of downstream 16 V-rated capacitors and ICs.

Package and board integration

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-leaded through-hole package, the 1.5KE10CA-/73 mounts with standard 0.040-inch diameter leads and is compatible with wave-solder or hand-solder assembly. The Tape & Box packaging (/73 suffix) delivers the parts in ammo-box format — preferred for automated insertion machines that feed axial components from a tape, not a reel.
