Product Overview
1.5KE36CA from Littelfuse is a 1500W bidirectional TVS diode. 36V breakdown. 58.1V max clamping at 20.8A. DO-201AD axial package. Protects against ESD and transients.
Working Principle
TVS diode clamps transient voltages above breakdown. When voltage exceeds VBR, the diode avalanches and shunts excess current. CA suffix = bidirectional (protects both polarities). 1500W peak pulse power.
