Product details

Voltage clamping and thermal envelope

The 1.5KE16CAHE3_A/D: Breakdown voltage starts at 15.2 V minimum, ensuring the device begins conducting before the protected circuit's absolute maximum rating is reached. The clamping voltage at 22.5 V limits the peak voltage across the load during a surge event. The 175°C ceiling allows the die to absorb repetitive pulses without derating the peak power below the 1500 W headline figure.
