1.5KE27A-B

Littelfuse · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · DO-201

1.5KE27A-B from Littelfuse, in a DO-201. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Cathode passive The cathode is the terminal marked by the color band on the DO-201 body, which applies to uni-directional products only. Its reverse stand-off voltage is VR 23.10 V min and its breakdown voltage is 25.70 V typ at 1 mA for the 1.5KE27A.
2 Anode passive The anode is the terminal opposite the cathode band on the uni-directional 1.5KE27A. The device clamps at 37.5 V maximum at 40.5 A peak pulse current, with a 1500 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs.
