1.5KE250A-T Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode from Diodes Incorporated

The 1.5KE250A-T is a high-quality transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed and manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, a leading company in the semiconductor market. This robust TVS diode is engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and surges, ensuring the reliability and longevity of the device it is safeguarding.

With its standoff voltage of 214V and a minimum breakdown voltage of 237V, the 1.5KE250A-T is particularly suitable for applications that require a high level of protection against transient overvoltage events. It has a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500W (1.5KE) at 10/1000μs waveform, which is capable of handling significant surges without compromising the diode's integrity or performance.

The 1.5KE250A-T comes in a DO-201 package, a molded plastic over glass passivated junction, which is not only durable but also offers excellent thermal and electrical characteristics. Its axial lead design makes it easy to install in a wide range of through-hole PCB mounting scenarios. Additionally, the device is characterized by its fast response time, typically in the picoseconds range, providing quick and effective protection against very rapid voltage transients.

One of the key features of the 1.5KE250A-T is its bidirectional clamping capability, which allows it to protect circuits from surges appearing in both directions along the power lines. This makes it an ideal choice for AC applications or situations where the polarity of the transient could reverse. Furthermore, the device is RoHS compliant, ensuring that it meets current environmental standards and regulations for hazardous substances.

Applications for the 1.5KE250A-T TVS diode are diverse and include the protection of I/O interfaces, VCC bus, and other vulnerable circuits used in consumer electronic devices, telecommunications systems, industrial equipment, and more. By integrating the 1.5KE250A-T into their designs, engineers can significantly enhance the surge protection capabilities of their products, thereby reducing the risk of damage due to electrical transients and improving overall product reliability.

Whether you are designing power supplies, working on communication infrastructure, or developing sensitive instrumentation, the 1.5KE250A-T from Diodes Incorporated offers a reliable and efficient solution for protecting your electronic circuits from voltage transients.
