The 1.5KE16A is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by SMC DIODES. Supreme Components International is an authorised distributor of SMC DIODES components. This diode is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The 1.5KE16A features a reverse standoff voltage of 16V and a breakdown voltage of 24.3V. It is packaged in a DO-201, which is easy to mount on PCBs. This TVS diode is commonly used in power supplies, telecommunication equipment, and industrial control systems to enhance reliability and prevent damage from overvoltage conditions. Its fast response time and high surge current capability make it a reliable choice for circuit protection.
