It features a 77.9 V to 86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 70.1 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 113 V clamping voltage at peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range - used in automotive power supply input stages and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE82AHE3_B/C datasheet, 1.5KE82AHE3_B/C pinout, 1.5KE82AHE3_B/C application, or 1.5KE82AHE3_B/C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, JEDEC 1.5KE package dimensions, and direct alternative part comparisons for robust ESD and surge design validation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode employs a glass passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is characterized under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions with 0.01% duty cycle, and it maintains stable performance up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The device complies with JESD22-B102 solderability standards and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing (HE3 suffix). It is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead) - enabling reliable operation without heatsinking in moderate-duty applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | Lower peak pulse power (600 W), smaller SMB package (vs. DO-201AB), 80 V VBR min (76 V), 125 V VC | Used where board space is constrained and surge energy is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 (2 kV) | Select when footprint reduction outweighs need for 1500 W capability; verify thermal margin with RθJA = 110 °C/W |
| 1.5KE82CA | Bidirectional variant (no polarity marking), same VBR/VC, identical 1500 W rating and AEC-Q101 qualification | Required for AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD bus) where symmetric clamping is mandatory | Choose only if bidirectional protection is needed; not a drop-in replacement due to polarity and marking differences |
Compared with 1.5KE82AHE3_B/C, SMBJ80A trades surge capacity and thermal robustness for compact size, while 1.5KE82CA provides symmetrical clamping but requires layout revision to accommodate non-polarized mounting - neither is pin-compatible, and both demand revalidation of clamping margin and PCB trace inductance effects.
