TVS diodes for transient voltage suppression

Manufacturer: ['vishay-general-semiconductor', 'vishay']

series introduction

The 1.5KE16-E3 Series is a comprehensive line of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes designed to provide robust protection against voltage transients in electronic circuits. Engineered for versatility and reliability, these components are essential for safeguarding sensitive devices in a broad range of applications. Featuring a peak pulse power of 1500W, the 1.5KE16-E3 Series effectively absorbs and dissipates high-energy transients, ensuring that voltage spikes do not exceed the breakdown voltage levels that could potentially damage electronic components.

One of the standout features of the 1.5KE16-E3 Series is its low clamping voltage, which minimizes the risk of overvoltage conditions during transient events. The diodes are constructed with a unidirectional design, providing optimal performance for DC applications, while the fast response time ensures immediate reaction to transient events. With a breakdown voltage of 16V, these diodes cater to various electronic devices needing reliable overvoltage protection.

In terms of design characteristics, the 1.5KE16-E3 Series is housed in a DO-41 package, allowing for easy integration into existing circuit designs. This form factor enables efficient thermal dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining optimal performance in high-load scenarios. The series is also compliant with RoHS regulations, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern electronic applications.

The 1.5KE16-E3 Series is ideally suited for use in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive applications, and industrial machinery. Typical applications include protecting microcontrollers, power supplies, and communication lines from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other voltage transients. Whether used in circuit boards, data lines, or power circuits, these TVS diodes enhance the reliability and longevity of electronic systems.

In summary, the 1.5KE16-E3 Series offers a combination of high-performance transient voltage protection, compact design, and compatibility with a wide variety of applications, making it an indispensable component for engineers and designers looking to safeguard their electronic products against voltage surges.
