Last-buy status — what it means for your BOM
The 1.5KE75CA-E3/51: Vishay has placed the 1.5KE75CA-/51 in Last Buy status — the manufacturer will accept final orders for a limited window, after which the part is discontinued. This is the time to secure lifetime-buy quantities or qualify a replacement.
Protection window: standoff, breakdown, and clamp
It clamps at 104V maximum with a peak pulse current of 14.6A, and its reverse standoff voltage is 64.1V — meaning a 64V rail sees no leakage under normal conditions, and the diode only conducts when a transient pushes the line above 71.3V (minimum breakdown).
Package and mounting — DO-201AA axial
Supplied in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, through-hole mounted. The axial body is a standard footprint for TVS diodes in this power class — the leads are formed for through-hole insertion on a PCB or terminal block. Bulk packaging means the parts ship loose in a tube or bag, not on tape and reel.
Sourcing posture for the 1.5KE75CA-E3/51
Sourced through independent distribution channels. The Last Buy window means acting now avoids a forced redesign later.
