Product details

1.5 kW bidirectional TransZorb for 121 V rails

The 1.5KE150CHE3/54: The bidirectional configuration means a single device clamps both positive and negative surges, simplifying BOM count on AC or bipolar DC lines.

Automotive-grade transient protection in a through-hole package

Housed in the DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, this TVS is intended for through-hole mounting on boards where the lead bend and body length fit into a standard 0.4-inch hole pitch. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering the full under-hood thermal profile for automotive electronics. The AEC-Q101 qualification means the device has passed the stress tests (HTRB, H3TRB, temperature cycling, ESD) required for automotive-grade discrete semiconductors. This is the same reliability screening used for engine control units, transmission modules, and body controllers.

Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels

Availability is lot-specific and confirmed at the time of RFQ — no standing inventory is maintained. The tape-and-reel packaging means the parts are supplied on reels suitable for automated insertion, though the through-hole form factor typically requires hand or wave soldering.
