Product details
Overview
1.5KE62A-T from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 axial package, with 53.0V reverse standoff voltage, 58.9–65.1V breakdown range at 1mA, and 85.0V max clamping voltage at 17.7A peak pulse current. It protects DC power rails and signal lines in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE62A-T datasheet, 1.5KE62A-T pinout, 1.5KE62A-T application, or 1.5KE62A-T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 waveform, thermal derating above +25°C, and RoHS-compliant lead finish for reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below 53.0V VRWM, then avalanches sharply at 58.9–65.1V to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<5μA @ 53.0V).
Designed for 1.0ms non-repetitive 8/20μs surge events, it delivers 1500W peak pulse power with <1ns response time and 0.104%/°C voltage temperature coefficient-critical for maintaining clamping integrity across -55°C to +175°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500W at 1.0ms pulse - sustains single high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 53.0V - maximum continuous DC voltage before significant leakage; sets minimum system operating margin |
| Breakdown Voltage Range | 58.9–65.1V @ 1mA - defines guaranteed avalanche onset window for design safety margining |
| Max Clamping Voltage | 85.0V @ 17.7A - limits voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge event |
| Peak Pulse Current | 17.7A @ 8/20μs - quantifies surge current-handling capacity under standard test waveform |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +175°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Leakage Current | ≤5.0μA @ 53.0V - ensures minimal standby power loss and no false triggering on nominal rail |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201 axial leaded package with transfer-molded epoxy body (UL 94V-0), 1.12g mass, and tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance reference; completes clamping loop during transient |
| Cathode | Protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 48V rail); avalanche occurs cathode-to-anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die construction | Ensures stable breakdown voltage and low leakage over lifetime and temperature cycling |
| 1500W peak pulse rating | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV line-to-line, 2kV line-to-ground) without degradation |
| RoHS-compliant, halogen-free finish | Enables lead-free reflow assembly and satisfies automotive ELV and WEEE compliance requirements |
| Fast response time & tight VBR tolerance | Sub-nanosecond turn-on and ±5% breakdown spread enable predictable, repeatable protection behavior |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48V auxiliary power rail in programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane exposed to load dump and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach DC-DC converter input. Use Value: 85.0V clamping voltage provides ≥15V margin below typical 100V-rated input capacitors, preventing premature failure during repeated 100V/10ms load dump events. |
Use Scenario: LIN bus line in BCM subjected to ESD (±8kV contact) and battery reversal during jump-start conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to LIN line, anode to ground; clamps fast ESD pulses while blocking reverse battery voltage. Use Value: 53.0V VRWM exceeds LIN's 18V max operating voltage, and 17.7A IPP handles IEC 61000-4-2 ESD current injection without latch-up. |
| Telecom DC Feeder Line Protection | Renewable Energy Inverter DC Link |
Use Scenario: -48V telecom power feed line entering remote radio head enclosure, vulnerable to induced lightning surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS installed at entry point, cathode to -48V rail, anode to earth ground, providing first-stage surge diversion. Use Value: 1500W rating enables absorption of 10/700μs telecom surge waveforms up to 2kV without degradation, preserving downstream fuse and filter integrity. |
Use Scenario: 600V DC link in solar string inverter exposed to grid-switching transients and partial shading-induced voltage spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in parallel array with higher-voltage TVS to manage localized overvoltage on gate driver supply rails. Use Value: -55°C to +175°C rating allows mounting directly on heatsink near power stage, maintaining clamping performance under sustained thermal stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64A | 64V standoff, 1000W rating, SMB surface-mount package | Lacks axial lead mechanical robustness; lower power handling limits use to lower-energy surges | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy ≤1000W; requires reflow-compatible layout |
| 1.5KE62CA | Bidirectional variant; same 53.0V VRWM but symmetrical clamping (±85.0V) | Required for AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines (e.g., RS-485); not suitable for DC rail protection | Choose only for differential or AC applications where polarity reversal must be suppressed |
Compared with SMBJ64A, 1.5KE62A-T offers 50% higher surge power margin and axial leads for through-hole mechanical stability; versus 1.5KE62CA, it provides superior DC rail protection due to unidirectional blocking of reverse voltage while maintaining identical clamping performance.

FAQ
What is the difference between 1.5KE62A-T and 1.5KE62A-B?
The suffix "-T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (1,000 units per 13-inch reel), optimized for automated SMT placement despite its axial leads; "-B" indicates bulk packaging (1,000 units in tray or bag), intended for manual or semi-automated assembly. Both share identical electrical specifications, DO-201 mechanical form, and RoHS compliance.
Can 1.5KE62A-T be used in place of a Zener diode for voltage regulation?
No. While it shares a PN junction structure, the 1.5KE62A-T is optimized for transient suppression-not steady-state regulation. Its 5.0W steady-state dissipation is insufficient for continuous Zener operation, and its wide VBR tolerance (±10%) and high dynamic impedance make it unsuitable for precision voltage reference applications.
Is 1.5KE62A-T qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No. The datasheet explicitly states that AEC-Q101 qualification requires special change control and IATF 16949 manufacturing-this part is not pre-qualified. For automotive-grade designs, engineers must engage Diodes' automotive team to initiate qualification or select the AEC-Q101-certified P6SMBJ64A or SMAJ64A alternatives.
How does temperature affect the clamping voltage of 1.5KE62A-T?
Clamping voltage increases with junction temperature at +0.104%/°C. At +125°C, VC rises ~10.6V above its 25°C value (85.0V), reaching ~95.6V. Designers must verify protected IC's absolute maximum rating accommodates this shift under worst-case thermal conditions.
