Product details

1500 W peak pulse, 12.5 V clamp — obsolete TransZorb

The 1.5KE8.2C-E3/73: The reverse standoff voltage is 6.63 V, with a minimum breakdown of 7.38 V — this part protects a 6.6 V rail by clamping transients before they reach the downstream silicon.

Obsolete — last-time-buy window closed

Sourcing now runs through independent surplus and broker channels. Availability is lot-specific; quantity and date-code provenance are confirmed at RFQ.

Housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial-lead package, rated for continuous junction temperatures from -55°C to 175°C — suitable for high-temperature environments like power supplies and industrial controls. The single bidirectional channel means a single device clamps both polarities, simplifying PCB layout for AC or bipolar rail protection.
