1.5KE6.8CA-E3 from Vishay Intertech, in a DO-27. 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 | A1 | passive | Bi-directional (CA suffix) TVS terminal with no polarity marking; electrical characteristics apply in both directions, with VBR 6.8 V to 220 V and VWM 5.8 V to 185 V across the series. |
| 2 | A2 | passive | Bi-directional (CA suffix) TVS terminal with no polarity marking; electrical characteristics apply in both directions, with 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) and TJ max. 175 °C. |
