The 1.5KE16CAHE3/51: This means a 12 V nominal rail with transients up to 22.5 V is within the protection envelope.
The DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package is through-hole mounted, which provides a lower thermal resistance path to the PCB than surface-mount alternatives.
Vishay has marked the 1.5KE16CAHE3/51 as obsolete.
A functionally equivalent bidirectional TVS with the same 1500 W rating and 13.6 V standoff voltage would need to be evaluated for package, clamping voltage, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Cross-referencing is done per RFQ.
The part is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications.
