## Description

The 1.5KE30CA is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode engineered by Taiwan Semiconductor to safeguard sensitive electronic circuits against high-energy voltage transients and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Formulated within the 1.5KE product range and housed in a robust through-hole DO-201AE package with 2 pins, this component delivers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW using a standard 10/1000 µs waveform. It features a reverse standoff voltage ($V_{WM}$) of 25.6 V, a minimum breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) of 28.5 V (maximum 31.5 V at a test current $I_T$ of 1.0 mA), and a maximum clamping voltage ($V_C$) of 41.4 V at a peak pulse clamping current ($I_{PP}$) of 38 A. 

Designed for high-reliability applications, the diode offers a fast response time of under 5.0 ns for bidirectional operation from 0 volts to $V_{BR}$, low dynamic impedance, and a maximum reverse leakage current ($I_R$) of just 1 µA at the rated standoff voltage. The silicon avalanche junction operates across a wide junction and storage temperature range from -55°C to +175°C, with a steady-state power dissipation ($P_D$) of 5 W when mounted on a 0.6" x 0.6" (16 mm x 16 mm) copper pad area. The pure tin-plated leads facilitate reliable through-hole solderability in accordance with JESD22-B102 standards.

This 1500W TVS diode is well-suited for power conversion systems, industrial automation equipment, and telecommunication infrastructure requiring robust surge suppression. Its bidirectional symmetry provides identical electrical protection characteristics in both polarities, making it ideal for alternating current (AC) line protection, symmetrical signal line clamping, and DC power rail transient diversion where overvoltage spikes threaten downstream semiconductor components.

## Notes: 

1. VBR measure after IT applied for 300 μs, IT=square wave pulse or equivalent. 

2. Surge current waveform per figure. 3 and derate per figure. 2. 

3. For bipolar types having VWM of 10 volts and under, the IR limit is doubled. 

4. All terms and symbols are consistent with ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
