The 1.5KE36CA is a part of the 1.5KE series of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes made by Littelfuse. This part features a 36V Breakdown Voltage (BV) and solid 1500W peak pulse power dissipation. It has a fast response time, protecting sensitive ICs against voltage spikes between 32V and 42V. Typical applications for the 1.5KE36CA include power supplies, motor control circuits, mobile antennas, data equipment, and other such high-voltage lines. Other features of the part include a 5.8V hold voltage, a 5A surge current maximum, and a 0.549V thermal resistance junction-to-ambient.
