Product details

Automotive TVS with AEC-Q101 pedigree

The 1.5KE160AHE3/51 is a unidirectional TransZorb TVS diode from Vishay's automotive-grade series, qualified to AEC-Q101.

1500 W peak pulse capability in a through-hole package

The DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package allows board-level mounting with good thermal transfer through the lead frame to the PCB copper. The 136 V reverse standoff voltage means the diode stays in high-impedance mode below that rail voltage, only conducting when a transient exceeds the 152 V breakdown threshold.

Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels

For a BOM requiring this exact AEC-Q101 TVS, a cross-reference search against the base number 1.5KE160 is a practical first step — any replacement must match the 136 V standoff, 1500 W rating, and DO-201AA footprint to maintain the PCB layout and protection level.

Frequently asked questions

How can I order the 1.5KE160AHE3/51 or check current availability?

The 1.5KE160AHE3/51 is obsolete and sourced through independent distribution.

Is the 1.5KE160AHE3/51 AEC-Q101 qualified?

Yes, it belongs to Vishay's Automotive series and carries AEC-Q101 qualification, meaning it meets automotive-grade reliability screening including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and PPAP-level documentation requirements.

What compliance documentation is available for the 1.5KE160AHE3/51?

As an AEC-Q101 qualified part from Vishay, it is supported with RoHS compliance data and the standard automotive PPAP documentation package. Specific certificates (REACH, UL) should be confirmed at RFQ time from the sourcing lot.
