Key Features
- 1500W peak pulse power dissipation capability for robust protection against high-energy transient events
- Tight 36V nominal breakdown with a maximum clamping voltage of 64.3V ensures precise voltage limiting in sensitive circuits
- DO-201AD axial package with UL recognition simplifies through-hole PCB integration in industrial and consumer protection designs
Applications
The 1.5KE36A is designed for transient overvoltage protection in power supply lines, I/O interfaces, and signal lines operating up to 30.8V standoff voltage. It clamps voltage spikes from lightning surges, ESD events, and inductive switching to protect downstream components in industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. Its 1500W pulse power rating and 2500pF typical capacitance make it well suited for robust protection on lower-speed data and power lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What peak pulse power can the 1.5KE36A absorb during a transient event?
The 1.5KE36A can absorb up to 1500W of peak pulse power during a 10/1000µs transient waveform, with breakdown voltage ranging from 34.2V to 37.8V and a maximum clamping voltage of 64.3V at peak current.
How does the 2500 pF capacitance of the 1.5KE36A affect its suitability for high-speed data lines?
With a minimum diode capacitance of 2500pF, the 1.5KE36A is better suited for protecting DC power rails and slow control signals rather than high-frequency data lines above a few MHz, where such capacitance would attenuate signal integrity significantly.
In which industrial applications is the 1.5KE36A commonly deployed for surge protection?
The 1.5KE36A is commonly used in 24V industrial control bus protection, power entry modules, and relay output boards where its 36V nominal breakdown and 1500W pulse rating provide reliable protection against inductive load transients and lightning-induced surges on 20V to 30V systems.
