Frequently Asked Questions
What are the breakdown voltage and clamping voltage specifications of the 1.5KE250A?
The 1.5KE250A has a nominal breakdown voltage of 250V with a guaranteed range of 237V minimum to 263V maximum at 1mA test current. The maximum clamping voltage is 442V at peak pulse current, defining the worst-case voltage presented to the protected circuit during a transient event.
What peak power can the 1.5KE250A handle and for how long?
The 1.5KE250A is rated for 1500W peak pulse power dissipation based on a 10/1000 microsecond waveform as defined in IEC standards. This high power rating allows it to absorb substantial transient energy from lightning surges and inductive load switching without damage.
Is the 1.5KE250A unidirectional or bidirectional and what does that mean?
The 1.5KE250A is unidirectional, meaning it clamps voltage transients in one polarity only (like a zener diode). It is suitable for DC circuits and unipolar transient protection. For AC line protection or bipolar transient suppression, a bidirectional variant (1.5KE250CA) would be required instead.
What package does the 1.5KE250A use and is it UL recognized?
The 1.5KE250A is housed in an axial DO-201 package with isolated case connection for through-hole PCB mounting. It carries UL recognition, confirming it meets safety standards required for use in UL-listed equipment and industrial power systems.
What applications is the 1.5KE250A designed for?
The 1.5KE250A is designed for transient protection in 220VAC power lines, industrial motor control circuits, power conversion equipment, telecom power supplies, and high-voltage DC systems. Its 1500W rating and 250V standoff voltage make it appropriate for protecting circuits operating near or above 200V DC or 120/220VAC mains.
