Automotive-grade 1500W TVS in a through-hole axial package
The 1.5KE13AHE3/51: The 82.4A peak pulse current rating (at 10/1000 µs) means this part can absorb substantial transient energy — useful for suppressing load-dump or inductive kickback in 12V automotive power rails.
Obsolete — sourcing through surplus channels
Vishay has marked the 1.5KE13AHE3/51 as obsolete.
Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the 1.5KE13AHE3/51 is through-hole mounted — easy to hand-solder or replace in a rework station. The axial leads fit standard 0.100-inch pitch board holes; no special footprint beyond the lead spacing is needed.
