1.5KE12CA-E3/73 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1.5KE12CA-E3/73 is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from Vishay Dale, part of the 1.5KE series. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning. With a peak pulse power rating of 1500W (10/1000µs waveform), it provides robust clamping performance.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 10.2V, a breakdown voltage (VBR) of 12V (nominal), and a clamping voltage (VC) of 16.7V at a peak pulse current of 89.8A. The device is bidirectional, making it suitable for AC or dual-polarity applications.

 

The diode is housed in a DO-201AA (DO-27) axial leaded package, suitable for through-hole mounting. It operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and matte tin plated leads.

 

Typical applications include general purpose circuit protection in consumer, computer, industrial, automotive, and telecommunication systems.
