Product details

Device identity and function

The 1.5KE15A/54: It is rated for general-purpose circuit protection applications.

The 1.5KE15A/54 is listed as obsolete by Vishay General Semiconductor. No official successor order code is recorded in the lifecycle data.

Temperature and mounting constraints

The junction operating temperature range spans -55°C to +175°C, covering industrial and some automotive under-hood thermal profiles. The axial DO-201AA package is through-hole mounted, requiring a drilled PCB with lead spacing matching the body length. This part does not include power line protection circuitry — it is a standalone transient suppressor for signal or low-power DC rail clamping, not a primary AC mains protector.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the 1.5KE15A/54?

No official successor or pin-compatible cross-reference is recorded in the lifecycle data for this obsolete part. A functional replacement would require verifying the same DO-201AA package, 1500 W peak pulse rating, and 12.8 V standoff voltage from another TVS series.
