Product details

Clamping performance and pulse current rating

The 1.5KE13AHE3_A/C: For a 12V ECU supply, the 18.2V clamp stays within the typical 36V absolute-max rating of downstream automotive-grade ICs, providing a safe margin. The single unidirectional channel is polarity-sensitive: the cathode band must face the positive rail. Reverse insertion shorts the protected line to ground through the diode's forward drop.

Package and board integration

Supplied in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead through-hole package, the 1.5KE13AHE3_A/C requires a 1.1mm diameter hole on 0.375-inch lead spacing for wave or hand soldering. The cathode is identified by a band on the body. Tape and reel packaging (TR suffix) suits automated insertion for high-volume production lines.
