Product details

AEC-Q101 TransZorb for 12/24 V automotive bus protection

The Vishay 1.5KE180AHE3_A/D is a 1500 W peak-pulse-power TVS diode from the Automotive TransZorb series, qualified to AEC-Q101 for under-hood and engine-bay deployment. For a 24 V truck system with a 150 V load-dump transient, this TVS catches the spike before it reaches the ECU's input capacitors.

Package and board-fit — DO-201AA axial through-hole

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package, the 1.5KE180AHE3_A/D mounts through-hole. The axial body sits above the board — the leads are formed for either vertical or horizontal insertion depending on the PCB layout. The 1.5KE supplier device package code matches the standard Vishay footprint for this series. The wide junction temperature margin means the device can sit near a hot engine block or exhaust manifold without derating the peak-pulse power below 1500 W.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative in the same Circuit Protection family?

The base product number 1.5KE180 covers the non-automotive variant without the AEC-Q101 qualification. For a pin-compatible automotive-grade alternative at a different voltage, the same TransZorb series offers other standoff voltages in the same DO-201AA package — confirm the required reverse standoff before substituting.

What compliance documentation does Vishay provide for this part?

As an AEC-Q101 qualified device, the 1.5KE180AHE3_A/D is supported with automotive PPAP documentation, RoHS compliance data, and a full datasheet from Vishay. Specific certificates (REACH, UL) are available on request through the supply chain.
