Product details
Overview
1.5KE10AG from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics. It features a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 8.55 V, breakdown voltage (VBR) of 9.5–10.5 V at 1 mA test current, clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V at 103 A peak pulse current, and sub-1 ns response time. It is used in power supply input stages to protect downstream CMOS/MOS ICs from ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE10AG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, axial lead package details, UL 497B certification status, clamping performance under 1 ms transients, and real-world substitution guidance for industrial power interface design.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE10AG operates as a Zener-based avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 9.5 V minimum breakdown threshold. Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable clamping at 14.5 V up to 103 A, with thermal resistance (RJL) of 20 °C/W enabling reliable power dissipation at lead temperatures ≤75 °C.
Designed for non-repetitive surge suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 waveform equivalents, it meets Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) and UL 497B requirements for isolated loop circuit protection. Its Surmetic axial leaded plastic case (Case 41A) supports manual or wave soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Surface-mount SMB package; 600 W PPK; VRWM = 10 V; VC = 17 V @ 33.3 A | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for 1500 W surge standards | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 |
| 1N6271AG | Same JEDEC device code and identical electrical specs; alternate marking for 1.5KE10AG | No functional or application difference; direct manufacturer-equivalent part number | Use interchangeably where procurement or stocking preference favors JEDEC nomenclature |
Compared with SMBJ10A and 1N6271AG, the 1.5KE10AG offers superior surge energy handling (1500 W vs. 600 W), higher peak current capacity (103 A vs. 33.3 A), and axial-leaded mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments-making it preferred for industrial power entry and automotive aftermarket designs requiring proven reliability under repetitive stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE10AG under surge conditions?
The 1.5KE10AG clamps to a maximum of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 103 A (per 1 ms waveform). This value is measured per Figure 5 in the ON Semiconductor datasheet and reflects worst-case voltage seen by protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The 1.5KE10AG maintains this clamping performance across its specified temperature range and is validated for UL 497B compliance.
Is the 1.5KE10AG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1.5KE10AG is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "G" suffix in its part number per ON Semiconductor's packaging standard. Its Surmetic axial leaded plastic package (Case 41A) uses lead-free terminations and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for through-hole assembly. The 1.5KE10AG is documented in the official ON Semiconductor Pb-Free Packaging Brochure.
Does the 1.5KE10AG have UL recognition, and for which standard?
Yes, the 1.5KE10AG carries UL recognition under standard UL 497B (File #E210057, category QVGQ2) for protector-class isolated loop circuit protection. This certification covers dielectric withstand, endurance conditioning, and strike voltage breakdown testing. UL 497B recognition applies to the full 1.5KE6.8A–1.5KE250A series, including the 1.5KE10AG, and is explicitly stated in the October 2011 datasheet revision.
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of the 1.5KE10AG, and why does it matter?
The 1.5KE10AG has a VRWM of 8.55 V-the maximum continuous reverse voltage it can block without entering conduction. This parameter ensures the 1.5KE10AG remains non-conductive during normal 12 V system operation while still triggering reliably during overvoltage events. Selecting a VRWM ≥ operating voltage prevents false triggering, and the 1.5KE10AG's 8.55 V rating makes it ideal for 9–12 V DC rails where margin above nominal voltage is required.
How does the 1.5KE10AG compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
The 1.5KE10AG is unidirectional and optimized for DC line protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., +12 V inputs), offering lower clamping voltage (14.5 V) than equivalent bidirectional parts. Bidirectional variants like 1.5KE10CA would clamp symmetrically but exhibit higher VC (~23 V) due to dual-junction architecture. For single-polarity applications, the 1.5KE10AG delivers tighter voltage control and better energy efficiency-key advantages confirmed in ON Semiconductor's comparative application notes.
