Automotive-grade TVS with AEC-Q101 traceability
The 1.5KE160AHE3_B/C is a 1500W peak pulse power TransZorb TVS diode from Vishay, rated for a reverse standoff voltage of 136V and a clamping voltage of 219V at a peak pulse current of 7.1A (10/1000µs waveform). This is an AEC-Q101 qualified part, meaning it has passed the automotive-grade semiconductor qualification for discrete devices including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness per the AEC-Q101 stress test sequence.
Package and assembly fit
Housed in the DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead through-hole package, the 1.5KE160AHE3_B/C mounts with standard 0.040-inch diameter leads and requires a 0.052-inch hole diameter in the PCB — the body length and lead spacing are compatible with existing 1.5KE series board layouts.
