Product details
Overview
1.5KE82A-T from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 70.1V reverse standoff voltage, 77.9V minimum breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, 113V maximum clamping voltage at 13.3A peak pulse current, and operates across –55°C to +175°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE82A-T datasheet, 1.5KE82A-T pinout, 1.5KE82A-T application, or 1.5KE82A-T equivalent, this device serves as a robust, RoHS-compliant, lead-free surge protector for automotive power supplies, industrial control I/O, telecom line cards, and AC/DC adapter input stages where fast response (<1 ns), low leakage (<5 µA @ 70.1V), and stable temperature coefficient (0.105%/°C) are critical.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses glass-passivated silicon junction technology to achieve precise breakdown characteristics and excellent clamping performance under 8/20 µs surge waveforms. Its DO-201 axial-leaded package supports high thermal dissipation during transient events, with 5.0W steady-state power rating at 75°C lead temperature.
The device exhibits a tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±5% on VRWM), fast response time (<1.0 ns), and low dynamic impedance-enabling effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5). Its 0.105%/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable clamping behavior across wide ambient ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W - Sustains single 1.0 ms non-repetitive transients without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 77.9 V min @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation threshold for reliable triggering |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 113 V max @ 13.3 A - Limits downstream circuit voltage during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 13.3 A @ 10/1000 µs waveform - Quantifies surge-handling capacity per standard test profile |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +175°C - Enables use in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor power systems |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 5.0 µA max @ 70.1 V - Ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |

| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps transients before sensitive downstream ICs experience damaging overvoltage |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | Industrial PLC Digital I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12V battery rail in engine control units exposed to load dump (ISO 16750-2) and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device placed directly at connector entry point to shunt surge energy to chassis ground. Use Value: Clamps 113 V at 13.3 A, limiting rail excursion below 120 V and protecting 100 V-rated DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: 24V digital input module in factory automation system subject to inductive switching noise and field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor on each isolated input channel before optocoupler or Schmitt trigger. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response prevents false triggering; 5 µA leakage avoids loading high-impedance sensor inputs. |
| Telecom Line Card Surge Suppression | AC/DC Adapter Input Stage |
Use Scenario: T1/E1 interface board receiving signals over long copper runs vulnerable to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), providing low-clamp refinement. Use Value: 113 V clamping complements GDT's ~300 V strike voltage, achieving coordinated two-stage protection meeting GR-1089-CORE requirements. |
Use Scenario: Input rectifier stage of offline SMPS where MOVs degrade over time and require semiconductor backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting parallel clamp across bulk capacitor to absorb residual surges escaping upstream MOV. Use Value: Stable 0.105%/°C VBR ensures consistent clamping across operating temperature range, unlike thermally drifting MOVs. |

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 (Bourns) | 600W rating, SMB package, 80V standoff, 129V clamping @ 9.3A | Lower power handling; surface-mount only; less suitable for high-current load dump | Select when board space is constrained and surge levels are ≤ Level 3 IEC 61000-4-5 |
| P6KE82A (ON Semiconductor) | 600W rating, DO-15 package, identical 70.1V VRWM and 113V VC, but 5.0W Pd vs. 5.0W | Same axial form factor but lower peak power; limited to lower-energy transients | Select only if legacy design compatibility with P6KE footprint is mandatory and 1500W headroom is not required |
Compared with SMBJ80A and P6KE82A, the 1.5KE82A-T delivers 2.5× higher peak pulse power in the same axial DO-201 package, enabling robust protection against automotive load dump and industrial lightning surges where lower-power alternatives would fail catastrophically.
FAQ
Is 1.5KE82A-T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements when manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Its –55°C to +175°C operating range, stable 0.105%/°C VBR, and 1500W surge capability make it appropriate for under-hood power rail protection, though formal PPAP documentation must be obtained directly from Diodes Incorporated for qualified automotive programs.
What is the difference between 1.5KE82A-T and 1.5KE82CA-T?
The "A" suffix denotes unidirectional operation (cathode-anode polarity), while "CA" indicates bidirectional symmetry (no polarity marking). The 1.5KE82A-T clamps only above VRWM in the reverse direction and conducts forward like a standard diode; the CA version clamps symmetrically in both directions, making it suitable for AC line or differential signal protection.
Can 1.5KE82A-T replace a metal-oxide varistor (MOV)?
It can serve as a fast-response complement to an MOV in hybrid protection schemes but not as a direct replacement for high-energy AC line surges. MOVs handle higher total joules but respond slower (>25 ns) and degrade with repeated events; the 1.5KE82A-T provides precise, non-degrading clamping for fast transients but has lower total energy absorption capacity.
What is the meaning of the "-T" suffix in 1.5KE82A-T?
The "-T" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging: 1,000 pieces per 13-inch reel. This format supports automated SMT placement when used with axial-to-SMT adapters or manual/semi-automated through-hole assembly lines equipped with reel-fed feeders.
