1500W surge clamp for 48V automotive rails
The 1.5KE62HE3/73: It clamps transients on 48V nominal rails — the 50.2V reverse standoff sits below the bus voltage, while the 55.8V minimum breakdown triggers before the silicon hits avalanche.
Through-hole axial package — bake before reflow
The DO-201AA / DO-27 axial leaded body is a standard through-hole footprint. The 1.5KE package suffix in the supplier device code matches the JEDEC outline — lead spacing and body diameter are consistent across the 1.5KE family, so a single PCB footprint serves the whole voltage range from 6.8V to 440V standoff.
Obsolete — last-time-buy channel only
Vishay has marked the 1.5KE62HE3/73 as obsolete. No official successor order code is listed.
