Product details

1500W peak pulse, 10.5V standoff — AEC-Q101 TransZorb

The 1.5KE13HE3/54: Qualified to AEC-Q101, this part is intended for automotive-grade transient suppression on 10.5V nominal rails — the 11.7V minimum breakdown ensures the diode remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions and only clamps during a surge event.

DO-201AA axial package — through-hole mounting

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package, the 1.5KE13HE3/54 mounts through-hole — the lead spacing and body diameter match standard TVS footprints used in automotive power distribution and ECU input protection stages. The single unidirectional channel provides one-direction clamping; power line protection is not supported (No per), so this device is specified for signal or low-side power rail protection rather than AC mains or bidirectional bus clamping.

Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels

For existing BOM lines, this part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Sourcing is confirmed per RFQ — quantities are lot-specific and traceable to Vishay date codes. No pin-compatible direct replacement from Vishay is documented on the lifecycle record.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1.5KE13HE3/54 used for?

It is a 1500W Zener TVS diode for automotive transient suppression on 10.5V rails. The AEC-Q101 qualification and 175°C junction rating make it suitable for under-hood ECU, transmission, and engine control module input protection.

What compliance documentation does Vishay provide for the 1.5KE13HE3/54?

The part carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Vishay for the TransZorb series. No UL or IEC certification is listed in the product record.
