Product details
Overview
1.5KE82CHE3/54 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 77.9 V to 86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 70.1 V maximum working voltage (VWM), 113 V clamping voltage at 13.3 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 motor drive DC bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 datasheet, 1.5KE82CHE3/54 pinout, 1.5KE82CHE3/54 application, or 1.5KE82CHE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC 1.5KE package details, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 15.4 °C/W), and real-world clamping behavior under transient surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity enables cathode-grounded placement on positive supply rails, with clamping action triggered when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, diverting surge current away from downstream ICs.
The device complies with JEDEC standard 1.5KE case style, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), and maintains stable clamping performance up to 175 °C junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive environments where thermal derating must be precisely modeled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V - defines precise voltage threshold at which clamping initiates under 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during full 13.3 A 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient power handling capability without failure under standardized waveform |
| IPPM | 13.3 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely conducts per event |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - enables operation in high-temperature locations such as engine control units and power inverters |
| RθJL | 15.4 °C/W - low junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable heat dissipation into PCB copper |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (3.5 mm × 3.5 mm), VC = 123 V @ 4.9 A | Better suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs; insufficient for automotive load dump compliance | Select when board area is limited and surge energy is below 100 mJ |
| 1.5KE82A-E3/54 | Same electrical specs but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), identical 1.5KE package and pinout | Approved for industrial/commercial use only; not qualified for automotive production | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring identical clamping performance |
Compared with 1.5KE82CHE3/54, SMBJ80A offers reduced footprint at the expense of 60% lower surge power handling and higher clamping voltage, while 1.5KE82A-E3/54 matches all key parameters but lacks AEC-Q101 validation - making it suitable only for non-automotive applications where qualification is not required.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 under maximum rated surge current?
The 1.5KE82CHE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.3 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and ensures downstream components see no more than 113 V during worst-case transient events, directly supporting design margin calculations for 100 V-rated capacitors and controllers.
Is the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 AEC-Q101 qualified and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's documentation for the HE3 suffix variants. This certification validates its reliability under automotive-grade stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock - enabling direct use in production automotive ECUs, ADAS modules, and body control units without additional qualification effort.
How does the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 differ from the standard 1.5KE82A-E3/54 variant?
The 1.5KE82CHE3/54 differs from 1.5KE82A-E3/54 solely in qualification level: the "H" in HE3 denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, while the base 1.5KE82A-E3/54 is commercial-grade. All electrical parameters - VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM, and package - are identical. The 1.5KE82CHE3/54 is intended for automotive applications requiring certified reliability.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for the 1.5KE82CHE3/54?
The 1.5KE82CHE3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W. This low value means efficient heat transfer from the die to the leads, so PCB layout should maximize copper area connected to both anode and cathode pads - especially the cathode pad - to act as a heatsink. Avoid narrow traces; use ≥2 oz copper and thermal vias under pads for sustained surge duty cycles.
Can the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1.5KE82CHE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "CA" in its part number. Bidirectional versions (e.g., 1.5KE82CAHE3/54) exist in the same family but have different internal construction and symmetric clamping in both polarities. Using 1.5KE82CHE3/54 in bidirectional circuits will result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially causing failure.
