Product details
Overview
1.5KE47A B0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with 47V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V @ 1 mA), 40.2 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), and 64.8 V clamping voltage (VC @ 24 A). It delivers fast response (<1.0 ps), low dynamic impedance, and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive load-dump and EFT protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE47A B0G datasheet, 1.5KE47A B0G pinout, 1.5KE47A B0G application, or 1.5KE47A B0G equivalent, this part supports high-reliability overvoltage protection in automotive power electronics, industrial control I/O interfaces, and DC power rail surge suppression where precise 47V clamping and AEC-Q101-grade robustness are required.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE47A B0G operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (44.7–49.4 V). Its clamping action limits transient energy to ≤64.8 V at 24 A peak impulse current (IPP), enabling protection of downstream 48V-rated components. Thermal derating follows JEDEC standard curves, with TJMAX = 175°C and steady-state PD = 5 W on 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad.
It complies with ISO 7637-2 for automotive transients and exhibits <1 μA leakage at 40.2 V (VWM). The device uses pure tin-plated leads per J-STD-002, passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, and features UL 94V-0 molding compound - confirming suitability for under-hood and industrial environments requiring long-term reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 44.7–49.4 V - defines precise avalanche onset threshold for reliable 47V system-level protection |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage without significant leakage |
| VC @ IPP = 24 A | 64.8 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting stress on protected ICs |
| PPK | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IPP | 24 A - maximum non-repetitive peak impulse current it can safely divert |
| TJMAX | 175°C - junction temperature limit supporting operation in high-ambient automotive/industrial enclosures |
| Package | DO-201 - axial-leaded, through-hole package with cathode band marking and 0.090 g mass |
Pinout & Package
1.5KE47A B0G uses the DO-201 package: axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with cathode band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; anode and cathode terminals are functionally asymmetric for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-biased operation | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during clamping |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48V supply); conducts avalanche current to anode when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500W surge rating (10/1000μs) | Enables single-device protection against severe load dump and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients in 48V automotive systems |
| Clamping voltage ≤64.8 V @ 24 A | Ensures protected 48V logic or power ICs remain below absolute maximum ratings during surge events |
| Leakage current <1 μA @ 40.2 V | Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in always-on circuits |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option available | Validates reliability for automotive under-hood applications including engine control and body electronics |

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 SMAJ47A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 47V VBR (44.7–49.4 V), but lower PPK = 400W and higher VC = 77.0 V @ 5.2 A | Not suitable for 1500W load dump; limited to low-energy ESD/EFT in space-constrained PCBs | Select only if board layout requires surface-mount and surge energy is ≤400W |
| ON Semiconductor 1N6287A | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPK) and DO-201 package; same JEDEC 1.5KE47A base part number | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in automotive and industrial designs | Valid second-source alternative with identical performance and qualification status |
Compared with 1.5KE47A B0G, SMAJ47A offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 73% surge capacity and clamping headroom, while 1N6287A provides exact parametric and mechanical equivalence - making it a seamless second-source replacement without design or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5KE47A B0G under a 10/1000μs surge?
The 1.5KE47A B0G clamps to a maximum of 64.8 V when subjected to a 24 A peak impulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 48V-rated components in automotive and industrial systems.
Is the 1.5KE47A B0G unidirectional or bidirectional?
The 1.5KE47A B0G is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "CA" suffix and confirmed by its cathode-band marking and specification of forward voltage (VF = 3.5 V @ 50 A). It protects against reverse-polarity transients only and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line.
Does the 1.5KE47A B0G meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
The base 1.5KE47A B0G part is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Taiwan Semiconductor offers AEC-Q101-qualified versions in the same family denoted by an "H" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE47AH). The B0G suffix indicates green compound and standard industrial qualification - suitable for non-automotive applications requiring high surge robustness.
What is the maximum working voltage (VWM) for the 1.5KE47A B0G?
The maximum working stand-off voltage (VWM) for the 1.5KE47A B0G is 40.2 V DC. This is the highest continuous reverse voltage the device can withstand without exceeding 1 μA leakage current, making it ideal for protecting 48V nominal systems where normal operating voltage remains below this threshold.
What package type does the 1.5KE47A B0G use?
The 1.5KE47A B0G uses the DO-201 axial-leaded package: a molded epoxy case with pure tin-plated leads, cathode band polarity marking, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and 0.090 g typical weight. It is designed for through-hole mounting and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards.
