Product details

1500 W peak pulse — what it means for protection

The 1.5KE120CAHE3_B/C: The 9.5 A peak pulse current rating (Ipp) at the same waveform confirms the device can handle repeated surge events without degrading, typical for telecom line-card protection where lightning-induced transients are the main threat.
