Product details
Overview
1.5KE8.2CAHR0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial systems. It features a nominal breakdown voltage of 8.2V, clamping voltage of 12.5V at 200A peak impulse current, working stand-off voltage of 6.63V, and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b immunity requirements.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G datasheet, 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G pinout, 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G application, or 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G equivalent, this part delivers verified bidirectional clamping performance, AEC-Q101 qualification, low dynamic impedance, sub-5ns response time, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance - critical for ESD and inductive switching protection in power supply rails and signal lines.
Technical Context
The 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G is a junction-based silicon avalanche diode optimized for unidirectional or bidirectional transient suppression. Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical clamping in AC-coupled or floating circuits without polarity sensitivity, with breakdown voltage specified at 7.38V (min) to 9.02V (max) under 10mA test current.
It operates across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and sustains 1500W peak pulse power per 10/1000μs waveform. The device exhibits <1μA blocking leakage at 6.63V and a temperature coefficient of VBR at 0.065%/°C - enabling stable clamping behavior over wide thermal conditions in engine control units and lighting drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT=10mA | 7.38–9.02V: Ensures reliable avalanche conduction onset within tight tolerance for predictable clamping threshold |
| VWM | 6.63V: Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1000μA - defines safe DC rail margin |
| VC @ IPP=200A | 12.5V: Clamped voltage during full-rated 1500W surge - limits downstream IC stress to safe levels |
| PPK | 1500W: Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000μs waveform - supports automotive load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients |
| Response Time | <5.0ns (bidirectional): Enables effective suppression of fast EFT bursts and ESD events before system damage occurs |
| Junction Temp Range | -55°C to +175°C: Supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial motor drive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes: Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and mechanical shock per AEC standard |

Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges up to ±1500W. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤12.5V during 200A transients, preventing latch-up or burnout in microcontrollers and CAN transceivers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding gate driver inputs and feedback sensing lines in variable-frequency drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS on isolated analog inputs and PWM signal paths exposed to MOSFET switching noise. Use Value: Sub-5ns response prevents false triggering or ADC corruption caused by nanosecond-scale EFT bursts. |
| LED Lighting Driver Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED drivers from inductive kickback during dimming FET switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS across output terminals to absorb reverse EMF from magnetic components. Use Value: Clamps flyback spikes to 12.5V while maintaining <1μA leakage at 6.63V - avoids standby current drain and thermal drift. |
Use Scenario: Securing LIN bus lines and sensor inputs (e.g., ambient temperature, door position) against ESD and cable discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS on bidirectional data lines to suppress ±8kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2. Use Value: Meets AEC-Q101 and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3b, ensuring uninterrupted communication during vehicle assembly and service operations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ8.0CA | Lower peak power (400W), SMA package (surface-mount), VC = 12.5V @ 32.4A | Not suitable for 1500W load dump; limited to board-level ESD and lower-energy transients | Select when space-constrained PCB layout requires SMT and surge energy is ≤400W |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE8.2C | Same DO-201 package and electrical specs, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and ISO 7637-2 validation | Acceptable for commercial/industrial use; not approved for automotive OEM production | Choose only for non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 and ISO compliance are not required |
Compared with SMAJ8.0CA and 1.5KE8.2C, the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G uniquely combines 1500W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and ISO 7637-2 compliance in a through-hole DO-201 package - making it the only option qualified for front-end automotive power rail protection without derating or parallel staging.

FAQ
What does the 'H' suffix in 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G indicate?
The 'H' in 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G denotes AEC-Q101 qualification - confirming that the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G has passed rigorous automotive reliability testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock. This makes the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G suitable for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems where standard industrial TVS diodes would not be approved.
Is 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G unidirectional or bidirectional?
The 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G is a bidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by the 'CA' suffix and its symmetric breakdown specification (7.38–9.02V in both polarities). Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., 1.5KE8.2A), the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G provides identical clamping performance regardless of voltage polarity - ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential buses, or floating DC rails where polarity cannot be guaranteed.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G under surge conditions?
The 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.5V at 200A peak impulse current (IPP), measured per 10/1000μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, and ensures protected circuitry remains below critical overvoltage thresholds - a key design parameter for safeguarding 5V and 3.3V logic interfaces downstream of the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G.
Does 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G meet ISO 7637-2 requirements?
Yes, the 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G is explicitly validated to meet ISO 7637-2 for Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a/2b (battery interruption), and Pulse 3a/3b (switching noise). This compliance is documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's official 1.5KE series datasheet (Version O2104) and forms the basis for its use in automotive power distribution modules and body control units requiring certified EMC robustness.
What packaging options are available for 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G?
The 1.5KE8.2CAHR0G is supplied in DO-201 axial-leaded package, available in 1,250-piece tape-and-reel format (standard) and 500-piece ammo box (for prototyping or low-volume builds). The 'R0G' suffix confirms green (halogen-free) compound and RoHS compliance. No SMD variant exists for this specific AEC-Q101 qualified part - surface-mount alternatives require different part numbers and qualification status.
