Product details
Overview
1.5KE110 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with nominal breakdown voltage 110V, minimum VBR = 99V at IT = 1.0mA, maximum clamping voltage VC = 158V at IPP = 9.9A, and working stand-off voltage VWM = 89.2V - designed for automotive load-dump and inductive switching surge protection in power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE110 datasheet, 1.5KE110 pinout, 1.5KE110 application, or 1.5KE110 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-201 terminal polarity mapping, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance status, AEC-Q101 qualification availability, and real-world clamping performance data for high-energy transients.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE110 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 99–121V breakdown range; it clamps transient energy to ≤158V at 9.9A peak impulse current under 10/1000μs waveform, with dynamic impedance low enough to limit voltage overshoot during fast-rising surges.
Its junction temperature rating spans –55°C to +175°C, enabling use in under-hood automotive environments; thermal derating follows Fig.2 in the datasheet, and it supports steady-state power dissipation of 5W at TL = 75°C on 16mm × 16mm copper pad - confirming suitability for high-reliability DC bus protection without active cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min / max | 99V / 121V at IT = 1.0mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 89.2V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1μA, ensuring no false conduction in normal operation |
| VC @ IPP | 158V at IPP = 9.9A (10/1000μs) - clamping voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| PPK | 1500W - peak pulse power handling capacity, validated per JEDEC standard for non-repetitive transients |
| TJ max | +175°C - maximum junction temperature, supporting placement near heat sources in automotive ECUs and industrial drives |
| Package | DO-201 - axial-leaded, UL 94V-0 molded case with pure tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 solderability |
| Response time | <1.0ps - sub-picosecond turn-on enables protection of fast-edge digital interfaces and microcontroller I/O |
Pinout & Package
DO-201 package: axial leaded, cylindrical epoxy body with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Ground reference node | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; conducts during forward surge (IFSM = 200A) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Protected line input | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 12V/24V rail); blocks VWM, avalanches above VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| ISO 7637-2 compliance | Validated against Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (line capacitance discharge) |
| Low dynamic impedance | Enables tight clamping window (VC – VBR ≈ 59V) even at 9.9A, minimizing stress on downstream MOSFETs or regulators |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21; UL 94V-0 flammability rating ensures safety in enclosed enclosures and battery systems |
| Fast response | <1.0ps turn-on from 0V to VBR - protects high-speed CAN, LIN, and sensor signal lines from EFT-induced latch-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | 600W rating, SMC package, VC = 177V @ 5.3A - lower peak power, higher clamping voltage, surface-mount only | Best for space-constrained PCBs where 1500W surge is not required; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance | Select SMBJ110A only if layout prohibits axial DO-201 and surge energy is limited to ≤600W |
| 1.5KE110A | Same electrical specs but AEC-Q101 qualified; identical VBR, VC, and PPK; marked with "A" suffix and "H" in ordering code for automotive grade | Required for automotive OEM designs needing PPAP documentation and extended reliability validation | Choose 1.5KE110A for any automotive application; 1.5KE110 remains valid for industrial/commercial use |
Compared with SMBJ110A, the 1.5KE110 delivers 2.5× higher surge power and tighter clamping, while the 1.5KE110A offers identical protection with certified automotive qualification - making the base 1.5KE110 optimal for cost-sensitive industrial designs requiring full 1500W capability in through-hole format.

FAQ
What is the key difference between 1.5KE110 and 1.5KE110A?
The 1.5KE110A is the AEC-Q101 qualified version of the 1.5KE110, with identical electrical specifications - including VBR = 105–116V, VC = 152V @ 10.3A, and PPK = 1500W - but validated for automotive reliability requirements such as temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing, and ESD immunity. The 1.5KE110 remains fully functional for industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
Does the 1.5KE110 meet ISO 7637-2 for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5KE110 meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b test requirements as documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's official datasheet. It is explicitly rated for inductive switching transients and electrical fast transients, though for full load-dump (Pulse 5a) compliance, the AEC-Q101-qualified 1.5KE110A variant is recommended due to additional validation scope.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE110 under surge conditions?
The 1.5KE110 has a maximum clamping voltage VC of 158V at peak impulse current IPP = 9.9A using the standardized 10/1000μs double-exponential waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a worst-case 1500W transient event.
Can the 1.5KE110 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the 1.5KE110 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC rail protection with defined anode/cathode polarity. For bidirectional protection, select the bipolar 1.5KE110CA variant (not 1.5KE110), which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions and is designated with "C" or "CA" suffix per the ordering table.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the 1.5KE110 above 25°C ambient?
The 1.5KE110 follows the pulse derating curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet: peak power capability decreases linearly above 25°C ambient, reaching ~75% of 1500W at 75°C and ~50% at 125°C. For continuous operation, its steady-state power dissipation is rated at 5W when mounted on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad at TL = 75°C - critical for thermal design in enclosed housings.
