1.5KE68CA

The 1.5KE68CA is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. TVS diodes are semiconductor devices designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage transients and surges.

Key Features:

• Transient Voltage Suppression: The 1.5KE68CA is designed to suppress transient voltage spikes and protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage events.

• Bi-Directional Protection: It provides bidirectional protection, meaning it can clamp both positive and negative voltage transients.

• High Surge Capability: This TVS diode offers high surge capability, allowing it to withstand and dissipate large transient currents effectively.

• Low Clamping Voltage: It features a low clamping voltage, ensuring that the protected circuitry is not subjected to excessive voltage levels during transient events.

• Fast Response Time: The 1.5KE68CA has a fast response time, quickly diverting transient currents away from sensitive components to prevent damage.

• Robust Construction: Littelfuse TVS diodes are known for their robust construction and reliability, ensuring consistent performance under varying environmental conditions.

• RoHS Compliance: The 1.5KE68CA complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, meeting environmental standards by restricting the use of hazardous materials.

Applications:

• Power Supply Protection: Used in power supplies and voltage regulators to protect against voltage surges and spikes caused by lightning, ESD events, or switching transients.

• Electronic Circuit Protection: Integrated into electronic circuits such as data lines, signal lines, and communication ports to safeguard sensitive components like ICs, transistors, and microcontrollers.

• Telecommunication Equipment: Deployed in telecommunication equipment such as modems, routers, and network switches to protect against voltage transients induced by lightning strikes or power line disturbances.

• Industrial Equipment: Utilized in industrial equipment and machinery to provide surge protection for control systems, motor drives, PLCs, and sensors.

• Automotive Electronics: Integrated into automotive electronics for protection against voltage surges generated by load dumping, alternator regulation, or jump-start events.

• Consumer Electronics: Used in consumer electronics devices like TVs, computers, and home appliances to protect sensitive circuitry from voltage spikes and surges.

• Medical Devices: Employed in medical equipment such as patient monitoring systems, diagnostic devices, and imaging equipment to ensure reliable operation and patient safety.
