ICTE15C-E3/54

The ICTE15C-E3/54 is a bidirectional Zener-based transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode from Vishay Dale, designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 15V and a clamping voltage of 21.4V, ensuring that overvoltage events are clamped to safe levels. With a peak pulse power rating of 1500W and a peak pulse current of 60A, this diode can handle significant transient energy, making it suitable for general-purpose circuit protection applications.

This TVS diode is packaged in a through-hole DO-201AA (DO-27) axial package, which is well-suited for board-level protection in power supplies, industrial equipment, and communication systems. The axial lead configuration allows for easy insertion in through-hole PCB designs. It operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, providing reliable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.

The bidirectional configuration (single channel) makes it ideal for protecting circuits where voltage transients can occur in both polarities, such as AC lines or data lines exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) or surge events. The Zener technology ensures fast response to transient overvoltages, clamping them before they can damage downstream components. This component is a general-purpose protection solution suitable for a variety of electronic systems requiring robust transient suppression.
