Product details
Overview
1.5KE9V1A-T from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 axial package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 7.78 V reverse standoff voltage, 8.65 V minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 13.4 V maximum clamping voltage at 112 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55°C to +175°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE9V1A-T datasheet, 1.5KE9V1A-T pinout, 1.5KE9V1A-T application, or 1.5KE9V1A-T equivalent, this part delivers verified clamping performance for automotive body electronics, industrial power supplies, and telecom interface protection where fast response (<1 ns), low leakage (<50 µA @ 7.78 V), and high surge robustness are required.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve stable breakdown characteristics and low capacitance. Its 1.0 mA test current ensures precise VBR validation under standard conditions, while the 13.4 V clamping voltage at 112 A defines its protective threshold during 1.0 ms 8/20 µs surge events.
The device exhibits a voltage temperature coefficient of +0.068 %/°C, enabling predictable VBR drift over temperature. Its DO-201 package supports axial lead mounting with 9.5 mm lead length, rated for 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75°C and 200 A non-repetitive forward surge capability.
Key Specifications

| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 112 A - Maximum surge current handled at VC = 13.4 V under 1.0 ms pulse |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 50 µA max @ 7.78 V - Ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +175°C - Validated operation across automotive under-hood and industrial ambient extremes |

|
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceivers and isolation barrier inputs from lightning-induced surges on outdoor copper pairs. IC Role / Device Role: First-stage protection before gas discharge tube (GDT) and series impedance. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response initiates clamping before GDT fires, reducing let-through energy by >60% versus GDT-only designs. |
Use Scenario: Securing AC/DC converter input against utility grid transients and neutral-ground potential shifts. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary surge suppressor after MOV, handling residual fast-rising edges. Use Value: Low 50 µA leakage preserves meter battery life during extended mains-off periods in AMI deployments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ9.0A | 600 W rating, SMA package, 14.4 V clamping at 41.7 A | Lower surge capacity; suited for space-constrained PCBs with moderate threat levels | Select when board area is limited and peak surge current remains below 42 A |
| 1.5SMC9.0A | Surface-mount SMC package, same 1500 W rating, 14.4 V clamping at 104 A | No axial leads; requires reflow-compatible layout and lacks through-hole mechanical retention | Choose for automated assembly and higher-density layouts where axial mounting is impractical |
Compared with SMBJ9.0A and 1.5SMC9.0A, the 1.5KE9V1A-T provides superior surge current handling (112 A vs. 41.7 A / 104 A) and axial mechanical stability, making it preferred for high-reliability industrial and automotive harness-connected nodes.

FAQ
Is 1.5KE9V1A-T RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes. The 1.5KE9V1A-T meets EU RoHS directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU, with lead-free finish and halogen/antimony content below 900 ppm bromine, 900 ppm chlorine, and 1000 ppm antimony-certified as a "Green" device per Diodes' specifications.
What is the difference between 1.5KE9V1A-T and 1.5KE9V1CA-T?
The "A" suffix denotes unidirectional operation with cathode band marking; "CA" indicates bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking. The 1.5KE9V1A-T clamps only in reverse bias, while the CA version protects both polarities-critical for AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
Can 1.5KE9V1A-T replace 1N6267A in existing designs?
No. The 1N6267A has a 9.1 V standoff and 14.4 V clamping at 104 A, differing in VRWM, VC, and IPP. Substitution requires verification of clamping margin, thermal derating, and PCB footprint compatibility-DO-201 dimensions match, but electrical behavior is not identical.
Does this TVS diode require a heatsink for 5.0 W steady-state dissipation?
No. The 5.0 W rating applies only at TL = 75°C with 9.5 mm lead length; in typical PCB-mounted configurations, thermal resistance to ambient exceeds limits for continuous 5 W operation. It is rated for transient dissipation-not steady-state-so heatsinking is unnecessary for normal use.
