Built within the 1.5KE Series, this component delivers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1.5 kW using a standard 10/1000 µs waveform. Housed in a robust DO-201 axial leaded plastic package with a UL 94V-0 flammability rating, it incorporates a glass-passivated chip technology that ensures reliable operation and fast response times of less than 1.0 picosecond from 0 volts to breakdown voltage minimum. Electrically, the device features a reverse standoff voltage ($V_R$) of 30.8V, a minimum breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) of 34.2V, and a maximum breakdown voltage of 37.8V at a test current of 1 mA. During high-amplitude transient events, it limits potentially destructive spikes to a maximum clamping voltage ($V_C$) of 49.9V. The diode maintains a low reverse leakage current ($I_R$) of 1 µA at the rated standoff voltage and supports an operating and storage junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C. With a typical thermal resistance junction-to-lead ($R_{\theta JL}$) of 15°C/W and junction-to-ambient ($R_{\theta JA}$) of 75°C/W, it handles steady-state power dissipation up to 6.5W on an infinite heat sink at $T_L = 75^\circ\text{C}$. Optimized for through-hole mounting via matte tin-plated axial leads, the 1.5KE36A is well-suited for safeguarding power supply rails, telecommunication infrastructure, industrial automation controls, and consumer electronics input/output (I/O) interfaces. Its high surge capability and clamping precision provide robust defense against lightning-induced surges and inductive load switching according to IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4 standards. ## Specifications | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Svhc | To Be Advised | | No. Of Pins | 2Pins | | Tvs Polarity | Unidirectional | | Product Range | 1.5KE Series | | Qualification | - | | Diode Mounting | Through Hole | | Diode Case Style | DO-201 | | Clamping Voltage Max | 49.9V | | Reverse Standoff Voltage | 30.8V | | Maximum Breakdown Voltage | 37.8V | | Minimum Breakdown Voltage | 34.2V | | Operating Temperature Max | 175°C | | Peak Pulse Power Dissipation | 1.5kW | ## Datasheet 📄 [Download PDF](https://novapart.co/datasheet/farnell:4336400/) **TVS Diodes** Axial Leaded – 1500W > 1.5KE series 1.5KE Series **~~RoHS~~** ~~Pb~~ **~~e3~~ Description** The 1.5KE Series is designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients Uni-directional induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. **Features** Bi-directional • 1500W peak pulse • Low incremental surge capability at 10/1000μs resistance waveform, repetition rate • Typical IR less than 1μA (duty cycles):0.01% when VBR min>12V • Glass passivated chip • High temperature **Agency Approvals** junction in DO-201 to reflow soldering Package guaranteed: 260°C/30sec **Agency Agency File Number** • Fast response time: / 0.375”,(9.5mm) lead E230531 typically less than 1.0ps length, 5 lbs., (2.3kg) from 0 Volts to BV min tension • Excellent clamping • VBR @ TJ= VBR@25°C **Maximum Ratings and Thermal Characteristics** capability x (1+ **α** T x (TJ - 25)) **(TA=25**^**O** **C unless otherwise noted)** • Typical failure mode is ( **α** T:Temperature short from over-specified Coefficient, typical value **Parameter Symbol Value Unit** voltage or current is 0.1%) Peak Pulse Power Dissipation (Fig.2) by • Whisker test is conducted • Plastic package is 10/1000μs Test Waveform (Fig.4) (Note 1) PPPM 1500 W based on JEDEC flammability rated V-0 per -Single Die Parts JESD201A per its table 4a Underwriters Laboratories Peak Pulse Power Dissipation(Fig.2) by 10/1000μs Test Waveform(Fig.4)(Note 1) PPPM 2000 W and 4c • Matte tin lead–free plated -Stacked Die Parts (Note 4) • IEC-61000-4-2 ESD • Halogen free and RoHS Steady State Power Dissipation on Infinite Heat PD 6.5 W 30kV(Air), 30kV (Contact) compliant Sink at TL=75ºC Peak Forward Surge Current, 8.3ms Single Half Sine Wave Unidirectional Only (Note 2) IFSM 200 A • ESD protection of data lines in accordance with • Pb-free E3 means 2nd level interconnect is Maximum Instantaneous Forward Voltage at VF 3.5/5.0 V IEC 61000-4-2 Pb-free and the terminal 100A for Unidirectional Only (Note 3) • EFT protection of data finish material is tin(Sn) Operating Junction and Storage Temperature Range TJ, TSTG -55 to 175 °C lines in accordance with IEC 61000-4-4 (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609A.01) Typical Thermal Resistance Junction to Lead RθJL 15 °C/W Typical Thermal Resistance Junction to Ambient RθJA 75 °C/W **Notes: Applications 1.** Non-repetitive current pulse , per Fig. 4 and derated above TJ (initial) =25^O C per Fig. 3. **2.** Measured on 8.3ms single half sine wave or equivalent square wave, duty cycle=4 per minute maximum. **3.** VF < 3.5V for single die parts and VF< 5.0V for stacked-die parts.
