Product details

1500 W bidirectional TransZorb for 12 V automotive rails

The 1.5KE15CAHE3_A/C: Breakdown occurs between 14.3 V min and the clamp ceiling — the 12.8 V reverse standoff gives headroom above a nominal 12 V battery during charging (13.8 V typical) without triggering false clamping.

DO-201 axial package — board-fit and integration

Through-hole DO-201AA (DO-27) axial body — the leads are formed for through-hole insertion and wave soldering. The 1.5KE package footprint is standard across the 1.5KE series; the same board layout accepts any voltage variant in the family. Single bidirectional channel in one package — no polarity concern during assembly, and a single part covers both positive and negative transient polarity.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1.5KE15CAHE3_A/C?

Any 1.5KE series bidirectional TVS in the same DO-201 package is pin-compatible — the voltage rating (standoff, breakdown, clamp) is the selecting parameter. No official second-source is listed.
