Product details

Clamping voltage and peak current define the protection window

The 1.5KE39CHE3/73: With a 31.6 V standoff, the diode stays out of conduction below the normal operating rail, then clamps transients to 56.4 V maximum — a margin that protects downstream 40 V-rated components in a 24 V automotive system. The 26.6 A peak pulse current rating (10/1000 µs) at the clamp voltage means the device can absorb a single 1.5 kW surge without exceeding the junction temperature limit of 175 °C.
