Product details
Overview
1.5KE350A R0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with nominal breakdown voltage 350 V, clamping voltage 482 V at 3.2 A peak pulse current, and working stand-off voltage 300 V. It protects automotive and industrial power rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE350A R0G datasheet, 1.5KE350A R0G pinout, 1.5KE350A R0G application, or 1.5KE350A R0G equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mechanical package details, real-world protection use cases, and validated alternative parts for high-voltage surge suppression design.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE350A R0G operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 333–368 V breakdown range (tested at 1 mA). Its low dynamic impedance enables rapid clamping to ≤482 V under 10/1000 μs surge, limiting energy delivered to downstream circuitry.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 qualification (implied by R0G suffix per ordering code table), supports junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C, and features pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

| VBR Min/Max | 333 V / 368 V - Ensures reliable turn-on above 300 V system operating rail while avoiding false triggering. |
| VWM | 300 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage the device blocks without leakage exceeding 1 µA. |
| VC @ IPP | 482 V at 3.2 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; defines worst-case stress on protected ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ350A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 332–368 V VBR; 482 V VC at 3.2 A; 400 W rating. | Lower peak power (400 W vs. 1500 W); suited for lower-energy transients or PCB space-constrained designs. | Select when board layout favors surface-mount or system transients are limited to <400 W. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5SMC350A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 332–368 V VBR; 482 V VC at 3.2 A; 1500 W rating; RoHS/halogen-free. | Same power rating and clamping, but SMC package offers higher thermal mass and different mounting mechanics. | Select when existing assembly process uses SMC footprint or higher thermal dissipation is required without heatsink. |
Compared with 1.5KE350A R0G, SMAJ350A trades 1500 W surge capacity for smaller size and lower cost in less demanding environments, while 1.5SMC350A matches power and clamping performance but requires SMC-compatible layout and reflow profile.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1.5KE350A R0G?
The 1.5KE350A R0G has a specified breakdown voltage range of 333 V to 368 V at 1 mA test current, representing ±5% tolerance around the nominal 350 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in 300 V system protection applications and avoids premature conduction during normal operation.
Is the 1.5KE350A R0G suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1.5KE350A R0G is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. For bidirectional AC or floating-line protection, select the 1.5KE350CA variant - the "CA" suffix denotes bidirectional construction, whereas "A" in 1.5KE350A R0G confirms unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking.
Does the 1.5KE350A R0G meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the "R0G" suffix in 1.5KE350A R0G corresponds to Taiwan Semiconductor's AEC-Q101 qualified version per their ordering code table (where "R" = AEC-Q101, "0G" = green/RoHS/halogen-free). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life - confirming suitability for automotive under-hood applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE350A R0G under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5KE350A R0G is 482 V, measured at 3.2 A peak pulse current using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and must be compared against downstream component absolute maximum ratings.
Can the 1.5KE350A R0G be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No, the 1.5KE350A R0G should not be paralleled without external balancing components. Due to manufacturing variations in VBR, mismatched avalanche turn-on can cause current hogging and thermal failure. For higher surge capability, select a single higher-rated device (e.g., 3.0KE350A) or verify matched-bin pairing with derated layout per Taiwan Semiconductor's application guidance.
