Product details

Obsolete AEC-Q101 TVS — sourcing reality

The 1.5KE130CAHE3/51: This part carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems where transient suppression is required on power rails or signal lines exposed to load-dump and inductive kickback. Sourcing is through independent surplus channels; quantities and pricing are confirmed at RFQ.

Parametric profile and fit

The 111 V reverse standoff voltage means the TVS does not conduct during normal 12 V or 24 V bus operation, but clamps at 179 V when a transient exceeds the 124 V minimum breakdown threshold. Bidirectional construction (single channel) protects against both positive and negative transients on the same line — no polarity concern during installation. Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, it mounts through-hole on the PCB — the lead bend radius and hole diameter follow standard axial diode footprint guidelines.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 1.5KE130CAHE3/51?

This part is obsolete and sourced through independent distribution.

What does the AEC-Q101 rating mean for this TVS?

AEC-Q101 is the automotive discrete semiconductor qualification standard. It certifies the device for -55 °C to 175 °C operation, with reliability testing for temperature cycling, moisture resistance, and ESD robustness — required for tier-one ECU programs.
