Product details
Overview
1.5KE130C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with nominal breakdown voltage 130 V, working stand-off voltage 105 V, clamping voltage 187 V at 8.4 A peak pulse current, and junction temperature range −55 °C to +175 °C. It protects automotive power rails and industrial I/O interfaces against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE130C datasheet, 1.5KE130C pinout, 1.5KE130C application, or 1.5KE130C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, mechanical dimensions, clamping behavior under 10/1000 μs surge, thermal derating curves, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for automotive-grade ESD and load-dump protection design.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE130C operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 117–143 V breakdown range (tested at 1.0 mA). Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid clamping response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR) and limits transient energy dissipation across sensitive downstream circuitry.
Designed for single-pulse, non-repetitive surge suppression, it sustains 1500 W peak power at TA = 25 °C, derated linearly above that ambient per Fig.2, and supports steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at lead temperature TL = 75 °C on 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad. It meets ISO 7637-2 immunity requirements without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT = 1.0 mA | 117–143 V - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; critical for margining against system overvoltage thresholds |
| VWM | 105 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must exceed normal system rail voltage to prevent leakage-induced power loss |
| VC @ IPP = 8.4 A | 187 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability; defines survivability under standardized automotive load-dump events |
| IPP (10/1000 μs) | 8.4 A - peak impulse current supported before clamping voltage exceeds 187 V; used to size upstream fusing and trace routing |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| Leakage @ VWM | <1 μA - negligible standby current draw; avoids battery drain in always-on vehicle modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201 axial-leaded through-hole package with cathode band marking; case meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating; pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; forms cathode-to-anode reverse-biased protection path |
| Cathode (banded end) | Protected line input | Connected to supply rail or signal line being protected; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W surge rating (10/1000 μs) | Supports full ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) without failure in 12 V automotive systems |
| Clamping voltage ≤187 V @ 8.4 A | Ensures downstream 150 V-rated components remain within safe operating area during worst-case transients |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option available | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC standard |
| Response time <1.0 ps | Engages before most microsecond-scale transients fully develop, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage |
| RoHS & halogen-free compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IEC 61249-2-21 for environmentally constrained production environments |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery rail and DC-DC input to clamp surges before regulator stage. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤187 V, protecting 200 V-input buck converters and avoiding input-stage MOSFET avalanche failure. | Use Scenario: 4–20 mA current loop transmitters interfacing with PLC analog inputs in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted across loop terminals to absorb EFT bursts (IEC 61000-4-4) and cable-coupled lightning surges. Use Value: Sub-μA leakage preserves loop accuracy; 187 V clamping prevents op-amp input stage saturation during 4 kV EFT events. |
| Lighting System Surge Suppression | Motor Drive Control Signal Protection |
Use Scenario: LED headlamp drivers subjected to inductive kickback from relay switching and EMC test pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS installed at driver IC power pins to shunt fast-rising transients induced by nearby solenoid actuation. Use Value: <1.0 ps response captures sub-nanosecond edge transients; 1500 W rating handles repetitive 100 V/100 ns spikes without degradation. | Use Scenario: Isolated gate drive signals (e.g., PWM to IGBT/MOSFET) routed near high-di/dt motor phases. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across optocoupler or digital isolator output to suppress common-mode coupling into logic-level control lines. Use Value: 105 V working voltage allows placement on 24 V control rails; bidirectional variants not required due to unidirectional signal flow. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package; same 130 V nominal, but lower 600 W PPK; VC = 214 V @ 4.2 A | Not suitable for 1500 W load-dump events; limited to board-level ESD and lower-energy transients | Select only if space-constrained PCB layout prohibits axial DO-201 and surge energy is confirmed ≤600 W |
| 1.5KE130CA | Bidirectional variant; identical VBR, VC, and PPK, but symmetrical clamping in both polarities | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal may occur (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus) | Choose 1.5KE130CA only when protecting bidirectional data lines; unidirectional 1.5KE130C is optimal for DC power rails |
Compared with SMBJ130A, the 1.5KE130C delivers 2.5× higher surge power handling and 27 V lower clamping voltage-critical for protecting 150 V-rated regulators in automotive modules. Against 1.5KE130CA, it offers identical surge performance at lower cost and smaller capacitance, making it preferred for fixed-polarity DC applications.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1.5KE130C?
The 1.5KE130C has a specified breakdown voltage range of 117 V to 143 V at test current IT = 1.0 mA, representing ±10% tolerance around the nominal 130 V rating. This range is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the guaranteed conduction onset window under standardized conditions.
Is the 1.5KE130C RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the 1.5KE130C is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and the pure tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Does the 1.5KE130C have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base 1.5KE130C is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant 1.5KE130CH (with "H" suffix) is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's ordering information. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, specify 1.5KE130CH instead of 1.5KE130C.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE130C under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE130C is 187 V, measured at peak pulse current IPP = 8.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Can the 1.5KE130C be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No-the 1.5KE130C is unidirectional and intended for DC power rail protection only. For bidirectional signal lines such as RS-485 or CAN, use the bidirectional variant 1.5KE130CA, which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities while maintaining identical VBR, VC, and PPK ratings.
