Product details

What the ratings mean for protection design

The 1.5KE220HE3/73: The 175 V reverse standoff means the device does not conduct appreciably below that DC voltage — it sits across the protected rail and only starts clamping when the transient exceeds the breakdown voltage (198 V minimum). A 344 V clamp at 4.4 A peak pulse means a 1500 W surge (10/1000 µs) is limited to that voltage; downstream components must withstand that clamp level for the pulse duration.
