Product details

TransZorb bidirectional TVS — 1500 W clamping for 50 V rails

The 1.5KE62C-E3/73: Breakdown occurs at a minimum of 55.8 V, and the device handles 16.9 A peak pulse current — enough to absorb surge energy on 48 V telecom or 48 V industrial DC buses without cascading into downstream silicon.

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

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, the 1.5KE62C-/73 mounts through-hole — the lead bend forms a low-inductance path when soldered directly into the PCB or wired into a terminal block for replaceable protection. The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, covering military and industrial thermal profiles from cold-start equipment to engine-bay enclosures.

Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced per RFQ

Available through independent surplus and broker channels; date-code spread and lot condition are confirmed at RFQ.
