STMicroelectronics 1.5KE100CA - TVS Diode

The 1.5KE100CA is a high-quality Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed by STMicroelectronics, a global leader in semiconductor solutions. This robust diode is specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductance, lightning, and other transient voltage events.

Key Features

• Bi-directional Protection: The 1.5KE100CA is a bi-directional TVS diode, which means it can provide protection in both positive and negative voltage scenarios, making it ideal for AC applications or where the polarity is reversible.
• High Surge Capability: With a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 Watts at 10/1000µs waveform, this diode is capable of handling significant surge events without degradation to its protective capabilities.
• Breakdown Voltage: The minimum breakdown voltage is 95 volts, while the maximum is 106 volts, providing a precise protection window for your circuits.
• Clamping Voltage: The maximum clamping voltage is 152 volts, ensuring that any transient above this level is effectively clamped and suppressed, protecting the components downstream.
• Low Leakage Current: The 1.5KE100CA has a low leakage current, which ensures minimal impact on the normal operation of the circuit when the diode is in its standby state.
• ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certified: Manufactured in certified facilities, this product meets the highest quality and environmental management standards.
