Product details
Overview
1.5KE110CAHE3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 110 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 105–116 V), 94.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 152 V clamping voltage at 9.9 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 datasheet, 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 pinout, 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 application, or 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 15.4 °C/W), RoHS-compliant HE3 packaging, and real-world clamping behavior under transient stress.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with identical VBR, VWM, and clamping characteristics in forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for protecting MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O pins against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
The device is rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2. With 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 15.4 °C/W junction-to-lead, it supports reliable operation on PCBs with minimal copper area or discrete heatsinking in space-constrained industrial modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on Ethernet pairs, coordinated with secondary GDT or polymer PTC for staged protection. Use Value: Clamps common-mode surges to safe levels (<152 V) without affecting 100BASE-TX signal integrity up to 100 MHz due to low junction capacitance (~100 pF typical). |
Use Scenario: Protecting MCU GPIOs and half-bridge drivers in washing machine motor control boards from commutation spikes during brushless DC motor switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized clamp across motor phase outputs and controller supply rails to suppress dV/dt-induced coupling. Use Value: Extends MCU lifespan by limiting transient-induced resets and prevents false triggering of overcurrent protection circuits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CA | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (surface-mount), higher VC/VBR ratio (1.47) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs but unsuitable for high-energy automotive load dump | Select when board area is critical and surge energy is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (0.5 kV) |
| 1.5KE110AHE3/54 | Uni-directional variant; same VBR/VWM/VC specs but requires correct polarity orientation | Applicable only in DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked | Choose only if circuit topology mandates unidirectional blocking - otherwise 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 offers simpler layout and broader use cases |
Compared with SMBJ110CA and 1.5KE110AHE3/54, the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 provides superior energy handling (1500 W vs. 600 W) and polarity-agnostic installation, making it the preferred choice for high-reliability 12–24 V systems requiring AEC-Q101 validation and proven field performance in automotive and industrial settings.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V at 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures protected circuits experience no more than 152 V during worst-case transient events - critical for safeguarding 100 V-rated downstream components. The 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly listed in Vishay's qualification scope for 1.5KE6.8AHE3_A through 1.5KE220AHE3_A and corresponding CA variants. It meets stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling - making it approved for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 is widely used in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
How does the HE3 suffix differ from the E3 suffix on the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51?
The HE3 suffix on the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 indicates RoHS compliance plus AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. In contrast, the E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance but no AEC-Q101 validation. For automotive or high-reliability industrial designs, the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 is required - the HE3 designation confirms full automotive-grade process control and extended reliability testing beyond commercial-grade E3 parts.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51?
The 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W, measured with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length per JEDEC standards. This low RθJL enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to PCB copper or heatsinking structures - essential for sustaining repeated transient events without thermal runaway. The 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 leverages this property in high-duty-cycle industrial surge protection applications.
Does the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 have polarity markings on its package?
No, the 1.5KE110CAHE3/51 is a bi-directional TVS diode and carries no polarity marking - there is no cathode band or other visual indicator on the DO-201AD molded epoxy body. Both leads are functionally identical, allowing unrestricted orientation during placement. This symmetry simplifies PCB layout and eliminates risk of reverse installation - a key advantage over uni-directional variants like 1.5KE110AHE3/54, which require strict cathode alignment.
