## Description
The Littelfuse 1.5KE100CA is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode engineered to provide robust circuit protection against high-energy voltage transients. Housed in a through-hole DO-201 axial lead package, this component features a glass-passivated junction capable of dissipating 1500W of peak pulse power based on a 10/1000µs waveform. With a reverse standoff voltage (VR) of 85.5V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137V, it is specifically designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from surges induced by lightning and other transient events.
This TVS diode offers a breakdown voltage range of 95V to 105V and exhibits a fast response time, typically less than 1.0ps from 0V to the minimum breakdown voltage. The 1.5KE100CA is rated for an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, ensuring reliability in demanding industrial, telecommunications, and consumer electronic environments. Its bidirectional configuration makes it suitable for AC line protection and data interface applications where transient suppression is required in both polarities. The device is RoHS compliant and features matte tin-plated leads, supporting standard through-hole assembly processes.
