1500W clamping window for 18.8V rails
The 1.5KE22A-E3/51: Its 20.9V minimum breakdown voltage and 30.6V maximum clamping at 49A peak pulse current define the protection window — the rail must stay below 18.8V during normal operation, and the downstream equipment must survive the clamped 30.6V peak.
Last Buy — sourcing window closing
Vishay has placed the 1.5KE22A-/51 in Last Buy status. This is the final production run — once existing stock is exhausted, no further units will be manufactured. For BOM lines that require this exact order code, the procurement window is now open; quantities are confirmed at RFQ.
Through-hole axial footprint for board-level protection
Housed in a DO-201AA / DO-27 axial leaded package, this part mounts through-hole — a standard footprint for high-power transient suppression where board real estate is not the constraint.
