Product details

Through-hole package for high-power dissipation

The 1.5KE27CAHE3_A/D: The DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package is a through-hole format that handles the thermal demands of a 1500 W pulse. The leads are tin-plated copper, and the body is molded epoxy. For a 24 V automotive rail, the bidirectional configuration means a single device protects the line against both positive and negative transients — no need for two diodes back-to-back.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1.5KE27CAHE3_A/D's clamping voltage at peak pulse current?

The maximum clamping voltage is 37.5 V at a peak pulse current of 40 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This limits the voltage seen by the protected circuit during a transient event.

What compliance documentation does Vishay provide for the 1.5KE27CAHE3_A/D?

As an AEC-Q101 qualified part from the TransZorb series, Vishay provides a datasheet with full electrical characteristics, a qualification test report, and RoHS/REACH compliance declarations. The part is also UL recognized under the Vishay TVS diode family.
