Product details
Overview
1.5KE75AG from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients. It features a 75 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 71.3–78.8 V @ IT = 1 A), 103 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 14.6 A peak pulse current (IPP), and <1 ns response time - deployed in power supplies, industrial controls, and medical equipment input stages.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE75AG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include working peak reverse voltage (VRWM = 64.1 V), clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuits, and axial leaded Surmetic CASE 41A packaging suitable for through-hole surge protection placement near connectors or AC/DC inputs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a Zener-based avalanche clamp: under normal bias it exhibits <5 µA leakage above 10 V, but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR, limiting downstream voltage to ≤103 V at 14.6 A. Its thermal resistance (RJL = 20 °C/W) and 5.0 W steady-state dissipation (at TL = 75 °C) support reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts with 3/8″ lead length.
The 1.5KE75AG complies with Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), meets UL 497B for isolated loop circuit protection, and uses Pb-free Surmetic plastic encapsulation with corrosion-resistant, solderable leads rated for 260 °C (10 s). Polarity is marked by cathode band; mounting position is unrestricted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system DC bus or signal rail rating. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 A | 71.3–78.8 V - Breakdown voltage tolerance defines design margin for overvoltage trip threshold. |
| VC @ IPP = 14.6 A | 103 V - Clamped voltage during 1 ms 1500 W surge; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| IPP | 14.6 A - Peak pulse current capability at VC; used with series impedance to calculate survivable surge energy. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Enables suppression of fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD, relay bounce) before damage occurs. |
| Leakage @ VRWM | <5 µA - Negligible standby power loss and signal distortion in high-impedance monitoring circuits. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B - Certified for use in isolated loop telecom and industrial interface protection without additional agency review. |
Pinout & Package
1.5KE75AG uses an axial-leaded, bi-directional-capable (unidirectional variant) Surmetic plastic package (CASE 41A), with cathode identified by a colored band. Leads are tin-plated copper, 0.038–0.042″ diameter, rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s, 1/16″ from case).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point for reverse-biased clamping | Connected to ground or low-potential reference; completes current path during transient conduction. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point (marked with band) | Connected to protected line (e.g., DC input, signal trace); blocks normal operation, conducts during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Sustains single 1 ms surges up to 14.6 A without degradation - sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) testing. |
| UL 497B certification | Validated for telecom/data line isolation barriers - eliminates need for separate safety approval in certified end equipment. |
| ESD Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) | Withstands human-body-model discharges common in handling and field environments without parameter shift. |
| Pb-free Surmetic package | RoHS-compliant thermoset plastic with void-free molding - ensures long-term moisture resistance and solder joint reliability. |
| Clamping ratio ≤1.45 | VC/VBR = 103/71.3 ≈ 1.44 - tight ratio minimizes overvoltage margin required for downstream component selection. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |

The 1.5KE75AG has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 14.6 A (1 ms exponential waveform per Figure 5). This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does the 1.5KE75AG meet UL safety standards for isolated circuit protection?
Yes, the 1.5KE75AG is UL Recognized under UL 497B (File #E210057) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification covers dielectric withstand, strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, and discharge testing - confirming suitability for telecom interfaces, industrial fieldbus ports, and medical signal isolation barriers without requiring additional safety agency evaluation.
What is the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) specification for the 1.5KE75AG?
The 1.5KE75AG has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 64.1 V. This is the maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device can block in normal operation without entering conduction. Designers select this rating to be ≥10–15% above the system's nominal operating voltage to ensure reliable blocking while maintaining adequate surge margin.
How does the 1.5KE75AG differ from the 1.5KE75A variant?
The 1.5KE75AG and 1.5KE75A share identical electrical specifications and CASE 41A axial package dimensions, but the "G" suffix denotes a Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) lead finish, whereas the 1.5KE75A uses SnPb solder plating. The 1.5KE75AG is required for new designs targeting EU RoHS, China RoHS, or medical certifications; the 1.5KE75A remains viable only for legacy repair or exempt applications.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RJL) for the 1.5KE75AG?
The 1.5KE75AG has a thermal resistance of RJL = 20 °C/W, measured from junction to lead at 3/8″ lead length. This parameter enables calculation of junction temperature rise during repetitive surge events or elevated ambient conditions - essential for validating long-term reliability in enclosed power supplies or industrial enclosures where lead temperature may exceed 75 °C.
