1.5KE250CA-E3/73 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1.5KE250CA-E3/73 is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from Vishay General Semiconductor's TRANSZORB series. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning. The device features a reverse standoff voltage of 214 V and a maximum clamping voltage of 344 V at a peak pulse current of 4.4 A (10/1000 µs waveform). With a peak pulse power rating of 1500 W, it offers robust protection for general-purpose applications.

 

The diode is housed in a molded epoxy DO-201AA (DO-27) axial package with matte tin plated leads, suitable for through-hole mounting. It operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C and has a maximum power dissipation of 6.5 W (with infinite heatsink at TL=75°C). The bidirectional polarity allows the device to clamp both positive and negative transients, making it ideal for AC line or bidirectional signal line protection.
