Clamping performance — 16.7 V at 89.8 A
A bidirectional Zener TVS diode, the 1.5KE12CA/54 clamps at 16.7 V maximum when subjected to a 10/1000 µs peak pulse current of 89.8 A, absorbing up to 1500 W of peak pulse power.
Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the 1.5KE12CA/54 is a through-hole device suited for point-to-point wiring or PCB mounting where the lead bend radius is controlled to avoid stress on the glass passivation. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering industrial and automotive under-hood thermal environments without derating the peak pulse power at the high end.
