Product details
Overview
1.5KE47CARL from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional 47 V transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 64.8 V clamping voltage at 23.2 A surge current, and operating junction temperature up to +175 °C. It protects DC power rails and signal lines in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces against IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (±30 kV contact/air) and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT (4 kV level 4).
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE47CARL datasheet, 1.5KE47CARL pinout, 1.5KE47CARL application, or 1.5KE47CARL equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (64.8 V), peak pulse current (23.2 A), stand-off voltage (47 V), junction temperature rating (+175 °C), and DO-201 mechanical compatibility with high-reliability board-level surge protection layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon junction technology optimized for low leakage (<1 µA at 38.1 V) and stable clamping performance across temperature. Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric protection-forward conduction during positive transients and reverse-biased blocking during normal operation.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV), IEC 61000-4-4 (4 kV), and UL 497B requirements, with thermal design support via JESD22-B102 E3 solderability and MSL level 1 handling-enabling robust reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 47 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before breakdown |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 40.2–49.4 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering within ±10% tolerance band |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 64.8 V at 23.2 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream voltage stress during surge events |
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains short-duration energy surges without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including industrial motor drives |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | ≤1 µA at 38.1 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 0.664 Ω - determines voltage rise per amp of surge current beyond rated IPP |
Pinout & Package
1.5KE47CARL is housed in a DO-201 axial-leaded package (8.5–9.5 mm length, 4.8–5.3 mm diameter, 0.96–1.06 mm lead diameter), with cathode identified by band marking and compatible with wave/reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connects to lower-potential side of protected line; conducts during positive transients |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased blocking terminal | Marked end; connects to higher-potential rail; blocks normal operation, avalanches during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature reliability | Rated for continuous operation up to +175 °C junction temperature-enables use in enclosed power converters |
| Low dynamic resistance | 0.664 Ω-reduces clamping voltage overshoot under fast-rising surges (e.g., lightning-induced) |
| IEC 61000-4-2 compliance | Withstands ±30 kV air and contact discharge-meets industrial immunity standards without external filtering |
| Planar junction construction | Delivers stable VBR and low leakage (<1 µA)-critical for precision analog front-ends and sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A | DO-214AA package; 64.8 V clamping at 23.2 A; same VBR (40.2–49.4 V); lower 600 W rating | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs or high-current axial layouts | Select when PCB space is constrained and reflow assembly is mandatory |
| 1N6287 | Same DO-201 package; 64.8 V clamping; identical VBR and IPP; manufactured by ON Semiconductor | No UL 497B listing; lacks IEC 61000-4-4 level 4 validation | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where UL/IEC certification is not required |
Compared with SMBJ47A and 1N6287, 1.5KE47CARL delivers full 1500 W surge capability in axial form factor with certified IEC/UL compliance-making it optimal for safety-critical, high-energy, through-hole power rail protection where regulatory traceability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1.5KE47CARL at 23.2 A?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) of 1.5KE47CARL is 64.8 V under a 10/1000 µs surge waveform at 23.2 A peak current. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and increases linearly with junction temperature using αT = 10.1 × 10⁻⁴ /°C, reaching ~71.2 V at +175 °C.
Is 1.5KE47CARL RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, 1.5KE47CARL is RoHS-compliant and manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-grade DO-201 package, meeting JEDEC JS709C and IEC 61249-2-21 requirements for bromine- and chlorine-free materials. Lead finish is matte tin plating, and no exemptions apply.
Can 1.5KE47CARL be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No-1.5KE47CARL is unidirectional (denoted by "A" suffix). For bidirectional protection, use 1.5KE47CARL's counterpart 1.5KE47CARL (CA type), which features symmetrical clamping in both polarities and identical VBR/VCL ratings.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for DO-201 mounting?
ST recommends 2.5 mm wide × 8 mm long copper pads per lead, with ≥10 mm² total copper area under each terminal to maintain thermal resistance below 40 °C/W. Via stitching to internal ground planes is advised for high-surge applications to reduce inductance and improve clamping response.
