Product details

Clamping and current handling

The 1.5KE160C-E3/54: The peak pulse current (Ipp) for the 10/1000 µs waveform is 6.5A. Operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering industrial and automotive under-hood thermal profiles without derating the pulse power at the high end.

Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels

Vishay has marked the 1.5KE160C-/54 as obsolete. Available through independent distribution on a per-RFQ basis. Lot traceability and date codes are confirmed at quote time. For existing BOM lines, qualify the alternate now — a pin-compatible replacement from the same TransZorb family may be available, but no direct cross-reference is published.
