Product details
Overview
1.5KE82CA-T from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 70.1 V, breakdown voltage range 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA, clamping voltage of 113 V at 13.3 A peak pulse current, and operates from –55 °C to +175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE82CA-T datasheet, 1.5KE82CA-T pinout, 1.5KE82CA-T application, or 1.5KE82CA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), unidirectional vs. bidirectional polarity, DO-201 axial lead mechanical compatibility, RoHS/Green compliance, and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability for automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS diode uses glass-passivated silicon junctions to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and stable clamping under 8/20 µs surge waveforms. Its symmetrical avalanche structure enables equal clamping in both polarities, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal is possible.
The device is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (1 ms, non-repetitive), with steady-state power dissipation of 5.0 W at 75 °C lead temperature. Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage is +0.105 %/°C, supporting predictable voltage drift across industrial operating ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W (1 ms, 10/1000 µs waveform): defines maximum single-event surge energy absorption capability |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 70.1 V: maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Breakdown Voltage | 77.9–86.1 V @ 1 mA: guaranteed avalanche initiation range under standardized test current |
| Clamping Voltage | 113 V @ 13.3 A: maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during specified 8/20 µs surge |
| Peak Pulse Current | 13.3 A: maximum surge current supported while maintaining clamping voltage ≤113 V |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +175 °C: full-rated junction temperature range for under-hood or high-ambient industrial use |
| Leakage Current | ≤5.0 µA @ 70.1 V: ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201 axial-leaded through-hole package with transfer-molded epoxy body (UL 94V-0), 1.12 g weight, and tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | Lower peak power (600 W), smaller SMB package, lower clamping voltage (125 V @ 4.8 A) | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; insufficient for 1500 W IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 testing | Select when board area is critical and surge threat level is ≤Level 3 (2 kV line-earth) |
| 1.5SMC82CA | Same electrical specs, SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package, higher thermal resistance | Requires rework for through-hole legacy designs; better suited for automated SMT assembly | Choose for new SMT-based industrial power supplies where DO-201 footprint is not required |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5SMC82CA, the 1.5KE82CA-T delivers higher surge robustness in axial-leaded form factor, maintains legacy through-hole compatibility, and supports full automotive-grade thermal and reliability validation - making it optimal for retrofit, high-energy, or mechanically constrained designs.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in 1.5KE82CA-T?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional TVS diode configuration, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative voltage transients. Unlike unidirectional "A" variants, it has no cathode band marking and functions identically regardless of polarity - essential for protecting AC signals, differential pairs, or floating nodes where voltage reversal occurs.
Is 1.5KE82CA-T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - while not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101, this part is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. Its –55 °C to +175 °C operating range, glass-passivated die, and 1500 W surge rating align with under-hood and powertrain subsystem requirements. Customers requiring formal AEC-Q101 certification should contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives.
How does clamping voltage relate to system-level surge protection?
Clamping voltage (113 V at 13.3 A) is the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a defined surge event. To ensure downstream component survival, this value must remain below the absolute maximum ratings of all devices downstream - e.g., a 100 V-rated MOSFET requires additional staging or a lower-VC TVS. The 1.5KE82CA-T's 113 V clamping is validated per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions.
Can 1.5KE82CA-T replace 1.5KE82A-T in an existing design?
No - the "A" suffix indicates unidirectional operation with a cathode band, while "CA" is bidirectional with no polarity marking. Substituting without verifying circuit topology may cause improper clamping or failure to suppress negative transients. Layout review and functional validation are mandatory before replacement, especially in DC-biased or single-polarity systems.
