series introduction

The 1.5KE400A-E Series is a distinguished line of bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes expertly engineered to safeguard sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. This series is particularly noted for its robust construction and reliable performance, making it an essential choice for a multitude of applications across various industries. With a breakdown voltage of 400V, the 1.5KE400A-E Series provides effective clamping of voltage surges, thereby preventing damage to circuits and ensuring longevity in operation.

One of the key features of the 1.5KE400A-E Series is its exceptional peak pulse power rating, which can reach up to 1500 watts. This capability allows the diodes to absorb significant energy from transient events, making them suitable for environments exposed to high-voltage spikes, such as industrial machinery, automotive electronics, and telecommunications systems. The devices are constructed using a high-thermal conductivity glass passivated junction, which enhances their performance under extreme conditions and contributes to their stability and reliability.

Design characteristics of the 1.5KE400A-E Series include a compact DO-15 package, which not only facilitates easy integration into various PCB layouts but also ensures minimal footprint in space-constrained designs. The series’ bidirectional feature allows for protection against both positive and negative voltage transients, making them versatile components for diverse applications. Moreover, these diodes exhibit low leakage current, further enhancing their suitability for energy-sensitive applications.

Typical applications for the 1.5KE400A-E Series encompass a wide array of electronic devices, including power supply circuits, consumer electronics, and industrial automation systems. They are particularly effective in protecting microcontrollers, integrated circuits, and communication ports from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other potentially damaging voltage spikes. As such, the 1.5KE400A-E Series not only ensures the operational integrity of electronic systems but also contributes to their overall safety and reliability, making them an indispensable component in modern electronic design.
