Product details

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the 1.5KE13AHE3/51?

No official pin-compatible successor is recorded. The 1.5KE series from Vishay includes many variants with similar ratings; a parametric search for 1500W, 11.1V standoff, DO-201AA package may yield a currently active part, but no direct cross-reference is on file.

What compliance documentation does Vishay provide for this part?

The part is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use.
