Automotive-grade transient suppression for 12V rails
The Vishay 1.5KE7.5AHE3_A/D is a 1500 W peak-pulse-power TransZorb TVS diode in the AEC-Q101-qualified automotive series, designed to clamp transients on 6.4 V nominal rails — a common protection target for 12 V battery-fed electronics where the regulated supply sits around 5 V or 6 V.
Clamping and breakdown characteristics
The 6.4 V reverse standoff voltage means the diode does not conduct at the normal rail voltage, only during an overvoltage event — a clean fit for 5 V or 6 V supply rails where leakage must be minimal under steady-state conditions.
