1.5KE12A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1.5KE12A is a 1500W unidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode from Taiwan Semiconductor, part of the 1.5KE series. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient events. Key electrical specifications include a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (10/1000μs waveform), a clamping voltage of 16.7V at 94A peak pulse current, and a fast response time of less than 1ps. The device features a Zener technology with a single unidirectional channel and a reverse leakage current of less than 1μA when VBR min >12V.

 

The diode is housed in a through-hole DO-201AA (DO-27, Axial) package with matte tin terminal finish. It offers a steady state power dissipation of 6.5W at TL=75°C on an infinite heat sink, and a peak forward surge current of 200A (8.3ms half sine wave). Thermal characteristics include a junction-to-lead resistance of 15°C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 75°C/W. The operating junction temperature range is -55°C to 175°C.

 

Typical applications include protection of I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits in telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronic systems. The device is RoHS3 compliant, halogen free, and lead-free (E3 designation).
