Product details
Overview
1.5KE130AHE3_B/C from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 124 V to 137 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 111 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 179 V clamping voltage at 8.4 A peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform, and operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C datasheet, 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C pinout, 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C application, or 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C equivalent, this part delivers verified AEC-Q101 qualification, glass-passivated junction reliability, low incremental surge resistance, and fast sub-nanosecond response time - critical for protecting MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and CAN transceivers against lightning-induced surges and inductive switching transients.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a silicon planar junction structure with glass passivation to achieve stable breakdown characteristics and high surge robustness. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 10/1000 µs waveform test condition, with thermal resistance of 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead) enabling effective heat dissipation during repetitive transient events.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.107 %/°C and a maximum reverse leakage of 1.0 µA at VWM, supporting stable operation under elevated ambient temperatures. It is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), confirming suitability for high-energy transient suppression in DC power distribution networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A-E3/52 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (3.5 mm x 3.5 mm), higher VC (219 V @ 2.7 A) | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-energy transients in space-constrained PCBs | Select when board area is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify clamping margin with downstream 200 V devices |
| 1.5KE130A-E3/54 | Same electrical specs but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), RoHS-compliant E3 suffix only, no HE3 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification testing; not approved for under-hood or safety-critical modules | Acceptable for industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; identical pinout and layout |
Compared with 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C, SMBJ130A-E3/52 trades peak power and ruggedness for compact size, while 1.5KE130A-E3/54 retains full electrical compatibility but omits automotive reliability validation - making the HE3_B/C variant the sole choice for production automotive designs requiring certified surge immunity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C under peak surge conditions?
The 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.4 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value ensures that downstream components rated for 200 V maximum stress remain within safe operating limits during transient events. The 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +175 °C).
Is the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C carries the HE3 suffix, indicating full AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88301, Revision 09-Aug-2022). It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling (TCT), and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (UHAST), making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical automotive modules. The 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C is explicitly listed in the AEC-Q101 qualified subset covering 1.5KE6.8AHE3_B through 1.5KE220AHE3_B.
What does the "B/C" suffix mean in 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C?
The "B/C" suffix in 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C denotes the packaging and revision code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature: "B" indicates the revision level of the HE3 qualification, and "C" specifies the preferred package code - in this case, 13-inch paper tape and reel with 1400 units per reel. This matches the delivery mode and base quantity defined in Vishay's official ordering information table for the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C part number.
How does the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C differ from the standard 1.5KE130A?
The 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C differs from the base 1.5KE130A in three key ways: (1) it includes the HE3 suffix confirming AEC-Q101 qualification, (2) it uses matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and (3) it is supplied in tape-and-reel format (C-code) with B-level revision control. Electrically, both share identical VBR, VWM, VC, and PPPM specifications - the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C is a qualified, enhanced-reliability version of the same core device.
Can the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C is a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA"). Bidirectional variants in the 1.5KE family - such as 1.5KE130CA - are required for AC-coupled or symmetrical surge protection. Using the 1.5KE130AHE3_B/C in a bidirectional application would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially damaging the device or failing to protect the circuit. Always match the polarity suffix ("A" vs. "CA") to the system's voltage polarity requirements.
