1.5KE18-E3

1.5KW unidirectional TVS diodes for voltage suppression

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

series introduction

The 1.5KE18-E3 Series is a robust line of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes specifically engineered to provide superior overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components. Known for their exceptional clamping capabilities and fast response times, these diodes are crucial for safeguarding circuits against voltage spikes caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning strikes, and other transient events. The 1.5KE18-E3 Series features a peak power dissipation rating of 1500 watts, allowing them to effectively absorb and redirect harmful surges, thereby preventing damage to downstream components.

Designed with a unidirectional configuration, the 1.5KE18-E3 diodes are optimized for applications requiring reliable voltage regulation with minimal leakage current. Their low breakdown voltage of 18 volts ensures that they can effectively protect low voltage circuits, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems. The diodes are constructed using high-quality silicon material, which contributes to their high surge capability and low capacitance, ensuring that signal integrity remains intact during operation.

In terms of design characteristics, the 1.5KE18-E3 Series is housed in a standard DO-214AA package, enhancing thermal performance and ensuring easy integration into various circuit designs. This compact footprint allows for space-efficient layouts, making it suitable for high-density applications where real estate is at a premium. Furthermore, these diodes are RoHS compliant, reflecting a commitment to environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.

Typical applications for the 1.5KE18-E3 Series include automotive electronics, where they protect sensitive microcontrollers and communication interfaces from transients; consumer devices such as smartphones and tablets; and industrial equipment where reliability is paramount. By implementing the 1.5KE18-E3 Series, engineers can enhance the durability and longevity of their products, ensuring they operate reliably under a wide range of electrical stress conditions. This makes the 1.5KE18-E3 Series an essential component for any design requiring robust transient protection.
