Product details
Overview
1.5KE110CHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 105 V to 116 V breakdown voltage range at 1 mA test current, 94.0 V maximum stand-off voltage, 152 V clamping voltage at 9.9 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives, automotive body control modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 datasheet, 1.5KE110CHE3/73 pinout, 1.5KE110CHE3/73 application, or 1.5KE110CHE3/73 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC 1.5KE package details, clamping performance under surge conditions, thermal derating behavior, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for automotive-grade design-in.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a silicon avalanche clamp, responding within <1 ns to transient overvoltages induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance, while the unidirectional polarity enables cathode-grounded placement on DC supply lines.
Rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, it supports reliable operation in high-temperature environments when mounted on PCBs with adequate copper pour. The 1.5KE case style provides mechanical robustness and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance via molded epoxy encapsulation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package, 110 V VBR range matches closely | Used where board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W (e.g., USB-C PD input) | Select when footprint reduction outweighs need for 1500 W surge margin |
| 1.5KE110AHE3_B | Same 1.5KE package and electrical specs; HE3_B denotes AEC-Q101 qualification with revision B | Identical function but with enhanced automotive traceability and whisker testing (JESD 201 Class 2) | Choose for new automotive designs requiring full AEC-Q101 documentation and lot-level qualification |
Compared with 1.5KE110CHE3/73, SMBJ110A-E3/52 trades surge capacity for compactness, while 1.5KE110AHE3_B offers identical protection with stricter automotive process controls - enabling direct substitution only when qualification level aligns with OEM requirements.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1.5KE110CHE3/73?
The 1.5KE110CHE3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 105 V minimum to 116 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This ±5.2% tolerance ensures consistent clamping initiation across production lots and operating temperatures, critical for predictable protection in 48 V and 60 V nominal systems where overvoltage margins are tightly defined.
Is the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 carries the "E3" suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance and lead-free matte tin plating per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It also meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, making it suitable for commercial and industrial applications with stringent environmental compliance requirements.
Does the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 meet AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
The 1.5KE110CHE3/73 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only variants with "HE3" followed by a revision letter (e.g., 1.5KE110AHE3_B) carry that qualification. The "CHE3/73" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant commercial grade with UL 497B recognition - appropriate for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems but not for engine bay or ADAS applications requiring AEC-Q101.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 under surge conditions?
The 1.5KE110CHE3/73 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V at 9.9 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the worst-case voltage imposed on the protected circuit during standardized surge testing and is used to verify margin against downstream IC absolute maximum ratings.
Can the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the 1.5KE110CHE3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. Bidirectional versions require the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE110CA). Using this part in reverse-biased AC applications would result in forward conduction and failure; always confirm polarity alignment with circuit topology before layout.
