VBR bi-directional 6.8 V to 440 V transients induced by inductive load switching and
PPPM 1500 W lighting on ICs, MOSFET, signal lines of sensor units
PD 6.5 W for consumer, computer, industrial, automotive and
IFSM (uni-directional only) 200 A
telecommunication.
TJ max. 175 °C
MECHANICAL DATA
Case: Molded epoxy body over passivated junction
Epoxy meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating
DEVICES FOR BI-DIRECTION APPLICATIONS Terminals: Matte tin plated leads, solderable per
J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D
For bi-directional types, use C or CA suffix E3 suffix for commercial grade, HE3 suffix for high
(e.g. 1.5KE440CA). reliability grade (AEC Q101 qualified)
Electrical characteristics apply in both directions. Polarity: For uni-directional types the color band
denotes cathode end, no marking on bi-directional
types
