1.5KE16A-E3

1500W unidirectional TVS diodes for voltage suppression

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

series introduction

The 1.5KE16A-E3 Series is a premium line of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes engineered to safeguard sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and surges. This series is particularly valued for its high reliability, fast response times, and robust design, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications in the consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial sectors.

One of the key features of the 1.5KE16A-E3 Series is its ability to provide a clamping voltage of only 26.4V at a peak pulse power rating of 1500W, ensuring effective protection against transient overvoltage while minimizing the risk of damage to downstream components. The diodes are constructed with a unidirectional configuration, featuring a low breakdown voltage of 16V, thus making them suitable for protecting circuits that operate within this voltage range. Enhanced surge capability and thermal stability make them particularly reliable in high-temperature environments, with an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

The design of the 1.5KE16A-E3 Series incorporates a DO-214AA (SMB) package, which not only contributes to a compact footprint but also facilitates efficient heat dissipation. This compact form factor is especially advantageous in applications where space is at a premium, such as in modern consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. Furthermore, the series is compliant with RoHS standards, ensuring it meets environmental regulations while maintaining high performance.

Typical applications for the 1.5KE16A-E3 Series include television receivers, data communication lines, and power supply circuits, where protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transient voltage events is critical. Additionally, these diodes are frequently employed in automotive circuits, safeguarding sensitive electronic control units (ECUs) from voltage transients that can arise from inductive loads. With their combination of superior performance, compact design, and versatile applications, the 1.5KE16A-E3 Series diodes stand out as a trusted solution for engineers and designers seeking reliable transient voltage protection.
