Product details
Overview
1V5KE110A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with breakdown voltage 106–116 V at 1 mA test current, reverse stand-off voltage 94.0 V, clamping voltage 152 V at 9.9 A peak pulse current, and junction temperature range −55°C to +175°C. It protects power rails and I/O lines in industrial motor drives, AC/DC power supplies, and telecom interface circuits against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1V5KE110A datasheet, 1V5KE110A pinout, 1V5KE110A application, or 1V5KE110A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 94.0 V reverse stand-off rating, 152 V clamping performance at 9.9 A, DO-201 mechanical compatibility, unidirectional polarity marking, and 175°C maximum junction temperature for high-reliability thermal environments.
Technical Context
The 1V5KE110A operates as a silicon avalanche diode, triggered when transient voltage exceeds its reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM = 94.0 V), entering low-impedance clamping mode within nanoseconds. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<5 µA at VRWM).
Designed for single-pulse 10/1000 µs waveform compliance, it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 1 ms with incremental surge resistance optimized for minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients. It is not rated for repetitive surge duty without derating per Fig.2 and Fig.5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | Same VRWM (94 V) and VC (152 V), but SMB package (surface-mount), 1000 W PPPM | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; lower power rating limits use in high-energy surge zones | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤1000 W |
| 1N6296A | Identical electrical specs and DO-201 package; same manufacturer, legacy JEDEC part number | No functional difference; used interchangeably in legacy designs and BOMs | Preferred for drop-in replacement where original design references JEDEC nomenclature |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1N6296A, the 1V5KE110A offers full 1500 W surge capability in through-hole DO-201, making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power stages where mechanical robustness and thermal mass matter - unlike SMBJ110A's SMT limitation or 1N6296A's identical spec but older marking convention.

FAQ
What is the reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of the 1V5KE110A?
The 1V5KE110A has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 94.0 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance blocking mode up to this DC or RMS voltage level. This value ensures compatibility with 48 V and 110 V DC systems where transient clamping must not interfere with normal operation. The 1V5KE110A maintains leakage below 5 µA at this voltage, preserving system efficiency.
Does the 1V5KE110A have bidirectional capability?
No, the 1V5KE110A is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" suffix in its full designation. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events - forward conduction follows standard diode behavior. For bidirectional protection, the equivalent part is 1V5KE110CA, which features symmetrical clamping in both polarities and uses the same DO-201 package.
What is the clamping voltage of the 1V5KE110A at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1V5KE110A clamps to 152 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 9.9 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage is measured across the device terminals during surge conduction and defines the maximum overvoltage imposed on the protected circuit - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 1V5KE110A RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the 1V5KE110A meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and its pure tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 for solderability. These certifications confirm suitability for environmentally regulated industrial and telecom equipment.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1V5KE110A?
The 1V5KE110A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +175°C, allowing reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies, motor drive cabinets, and outdoor telecom enclosures. This rating supports extended lifetime under sustained ambient temperatures up to 125°C when mounted with appropriate thermal relief per JEDEC guidelines.
