STMicroelectronics Transil 1.5KE Series Unidirectional TVS Diode DO-201 2 Pins - 342 548

The STMicroelectronics Transil 1.5KE Series comprises transient voltage suppressing (TVS) diodes designed to provide robust overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components. These unidirectional TVS diodes offer an instantaneous response to transient overvoltage events through effective clamping action, ensuring the safety of voltage-sensitive devices such as low voltage supplied integrated circuits. Specifically, the unidirectional variants are ideally suited for DC applications, while bidirectional options within the broader series cater to AC applications.

Engineered for reliability, the Transil 1.5KE series boasts a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (1.5kW) and a breakdown voltage range spanning from 6.8V to 440V across the family. Key features include a remarkably fast response time, high surge capability, and a low clamping factor. Furthermore, these diodes maintain reliable performance even at high junction temperatures, with a maximum operating temperature of 175°C. Assembly flexibility is ensured through compatibility with both axial (DO-201) and surface-mount device (SMD) packages, making them highly versatile for through-hole or surface-mount assembly processes.

Ideal for a multitude of sectors, these TVS diodes are heavily utilised in safety systems, industrial equipment, power management, consumer electronics, and portable devices. By incorporating these transient suppressors, designers can significantly enhance the durability and reliability of their electronic circuits against unpredictable voltage spikes.
