Product details
Overview
1.5KE110HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 105 V to 116 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 94.0 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤152 V at rated surge. It is used in automotive power supply rails, industrial I/O interfaces, and DC-DC converter input protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE110HE3/54 datasheet, 1.5KE110HE3/54 pinout, 1.5KE110HE3/54 application, or 1.5KE110HE3/54 equivalent, this device delivers verified AEC-Q101 qualification, glass-passivated junction reliability, 175 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads - critical for high-reliability transient suppression in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with a single P-N junction structure, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (105–116 V). Its response time is <1 ns, enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients before sensitive downstream circuitry is damaged.
It is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform, with thermal resistance of 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient). The device supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits low incremental surge resistance for stable clamping performance across surge events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V - ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 94.0 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage compatible with 90 V nominal DC bus systems |
| IPPM | 9.9 A - peak surge current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, defining clamping energy handling |
| VC (max) | 152 V - maximum clamped voltage at IPPM, directly limiting stress on protected ICs or MOSFETs |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power rating confirming suitability for severe transient environments (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) |
| TJ (max) | +175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
1.5KE110HE3/54 uses the industry-standard Case Style 1.5KE axial-leaded package (DO-201AD), with cathode indicated by a color band. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102; package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connected to protected line; conducts during overvoltage to shunt surge energy to ground |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | Lower peak pulse power (600 W), smaller SMB package (surface-mount), lower IPPM (32.4 A), same VBR range (105–116 V) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs but unsuitable for high-energy automotive load dump where 1500 W is required | Select 1.5KE110HE3/54 when >1 kW surge handling and axial-leaded mechanical robustness are mandatory |
| 1.5KE110A-E3/54 | Same electrical specs and package, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101 qualified); identical VBR, VC, PPPM, and thermal ratings | Approved for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Choose 1.5KE110HE3/54 for automotive OEM or Tier-1 programs requiring AEC-Q101 documentation and traceability |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1.5KE110A-E3/54, the 1.5KE110HE3/54 uniquely combines 1500 W surge capacity, AEC-Q101 qualification, and axial-leaded mechanical stability - making it the only option among the three for high-reliability automotive power rail protection where both energy handling and qualification are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5KE110HE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5KE110HE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V when subjected to its rated 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees that protected downstream components experience no more than 152 V during worst-case surge events, provided layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
Is the 1.5KE110HE3/54 suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1.5KE110HE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number suffix "A" and datasheet specifications. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the 1.5KE110CA variant. Using the 1.5KE110HE3/54 in bidirectional applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially causing failure or inadequate protection.
Does the HE3 suffix on 1.5KE110HE3/54 indicate RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes - the HE3 suffix explicitly denotes both RoHS compliance (per EU Directive 2011/65/EU) and full AEC-Q101 qualification, as documented in Vishay's 88301 datasheet revision 09-Aug-2022. This distinguishes it from the E3 suffix (RoHS only, commercial grade) and confirms validation for automotive under-hood applications including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing.
What is the standoff voltage rating for the 1.5KE110HE3/54, and how does it relate to system design?
The 1.5KE110HE3/54 has a maximum standoff voltage (VWM) of 94.0 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level. In system design, VWM must exceed the maximum normal operating voltage of the protected line - for example, it is appropriate for 72–80 V DC bus systems but not for 100 V nominal supplies where margin is insufficient.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1.5KE110HE3/54 impact its power dissipation capability?
The 1.5KE110HE3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsinking leads. At ambient temperatures up to 75 °C, this allows sustained 6.5 W power dissipation (PD) without exceeding the 175 °C maximum junction temperature - critical for reliability in enclosed industrial enclosures.
