Product details
Overview
1V5KE75A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-201 package, with breakdown voltage 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA, reverse stand-off voltage 64.1 V, clamping voltage 104 V at 14.6 A peak pulse current, and junction temperature range −55 °C to +175 °C. It protects power rails and I/O lines in industrial power supplies and motor drives against ESD and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1V5KE75A datasheet, 1V5KE75A pinout, 1V5KE75A application, or 1V5KE75A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64.1 V VRWM for 75 V nominal bus protection, 104 V VC clamping under 14.6 A surge, DO-201 mechanical compatibility, unidirectional polarity marking, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automotive and industrial deployments.
Technical Context
The 1V5KE75A operates as a silicon avalanche diode that enters controlled breakdown above its reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM = 64.1 V), limiting transient overvoltage to ≤104 V at 14.6 A (10/1000 µs waveform). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at VRWM) and low incremental surge resistance for repeatable clamping performance.
Designed for single-pulse surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 (Level 4), it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 1 ms, with thermal derating to 5 W steady-state at 75 °C lead temperature. Polarity is marked by cathode band; bidirectional variants use "C" suffix (e.g., 1V5KE75CA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 71.3 V / 78.8 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range for design margining |
| VC @ IPPM | 104 V at 14.6 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit stress |

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Motor Drive I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 75 V DC bus in programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between bus and ground to clamp positive transients only.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection device on signal line, referenced to local ground. Use Value: Sub-µA leakage avoids false triggering; 104 V clamping prevents latch-up in 3.3 V logic interface ICs downstream. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on output terminals before connector. Use Value: 1500 W rating handles multi-kV surge energy; DO-201 mounting enables direct PCB placement near output terminals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | DO-214AA package (SMB), 75 V VRWM, 100 V VC @ 15.3 A, 600 W rating | Lower power rating; suited for space-constrained PCBs where 1500 W is not required | Select SMBJ75A when board area is limited and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 |
| 1N6292A | Same manufacturer, identical specs and DO-201 package; obsolete JEDEC part number for 1V5KE75A | No functional difference; legacy marking used in older designs | 1N6292A is a direct form-fit-function replacement with identical electrical and mechanical behavior |
Compared with SMBJ75A and 1N6292A, the 1V5KE75A provides higher surge robustness (1500 W vs. 600 W) in the same DO-201 footprint as 1N6292A, making it optimal for high-reliability industrial systems requiring full Level 4 immunity and long-lifecycle sourcing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1V5KE75A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The 1V5KE75A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 104 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 14.6 A. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The 1V5KE75A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1V5KE75A unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The 1V5KE75A is a unidirectional TVS diode, designed to clamp only positive transients relative to ground. Polarity is identified by a cathode band marked on the DO-201 package body - the banded end connects to the protected line, and the unbanded end connects to ground. Bidirectional versions carry the "C" suffix (e.g., 1V5KE75CA).
What is the reverse leakage current of the 1V5KE75A at its rated VRWM?
At its reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 64.1 V and TA = 25 °C, the 1V5KE75A exhibits reverse leakage current (IR) of less than 1 µA. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance circuits and minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications using the 1V5KE75A.
Can the 1V5KE75A be used in place of the JEDEC-standard 1N6292A?
Yes - the 1V5KE75A is the current production replacement for the legacy JEDEC part 1N6292A. Both share identical electrical specifications (VBR, VRWM, VC, PPPM), DO-201 packaging, and unidirectional functionality. The 1V5KE75A is fully compatible with existing 1N6292A footprints and schematics, with no redesign required.
What is the junction temperature limit and thermal derating behavior of the 1V5KE75A?
The 1V5KE75A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175 °C and operates from −55 °C to +175 °C. Its steady-state power dissipation derates linearly from 5 W at 75 °C lead temperature to zero at 175 °C, per the published derating curve. This allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed motor drives or outdoor LED fixtures using the 1V5KE75A.
