Product details
Overview
1.5KE82HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary 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 standoff voltage (VWM), 113 V clamping voltage at 13.3 A peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), 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 1.5KE82HE3/54 datasheet, 1.5KE82HE3/54 pinout, 1.5KE82HE3/54 application, or 1.5KE82HE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 15.4 °C/W), JEDEC 1.5KE package dimensions, and real-world design context for surge immunity validation in high-reliability systems.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is characterized by a 113 V maximum VC at IPPM = 13.3 A under 10/1000 µs waveform, with VF = 3.5 V at 100 A forward surge - confirming suitability for DC power line protection where low forward voltage drop during fault conduction is critical.
The device meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test requirements (HE3 suffix), supports solder dip up to 275 °C for 10 s, and is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle operation. Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15.4 °C/W, enabling direct lead-to-heatsink thermal path design without PCB copper pour dependency.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package, VBR = 83.3–92.1 V, VC = 121 V @ 4.9 A | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suited for space-constrained consumer-grade designs | Select when board area is critical and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify thermal path for repeated events |
| 1.5KE82A-E3/54 | Same electrical specs but E3 suffix only (JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test, commercial grade) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not approved for automotive safety-critical modules | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with 1.5KE82HE3/54, SMBJ75A offers compact size at reduced surge capacity and qualification level, while 1.5KE82A-E3/54 matches performance but omits automotive reliability validation - making 1.5KE82HE3/54 the sole option when AEC-Q101 compliance and 1500 W clamping are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1.5KE82HE3/54?
The 1.5KE82HE3/54 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 77.9 V to 86.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 82 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures predictable turn-on behavior in overvoltage protection circuits without excessive margin overhead. The value is measured per JEDEC standard and confirmed in Vishay's 88301 datasheet revision 09-Aug-2022.
Is 1.5KE82HE3/54 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, 1.5KE82HE3/54 carries the HE3 suffix, which denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay documentation. It is validated for automotive applications including powertrain and body electronics, meeting stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. The HE3 marking also confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - essential for long-life deployment in vehicles.
What is the clamping voltage of 1.5KE82HE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1.5KE82HE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.3 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. Data is extracted directly from Table 1 of Vishay document 88301.
How does the thermal resistance of 1.5KE82HE3/54 affect PCB layout?
The 1.5KE82HE3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W, meaning effective heat dissipation relies on direct conduction from the leads to a thermally conductive surface - such as a metal chassis or thick copper pour. Unlike devices with low RθJA, it does not depend on PCB copper area alone; optimal layout uses short, wide traces to external heatsinks or mounting hardware. This is documented in the Thermal Characteristics section of the 88301 datasheet.
Can 1.5KE82HE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, 1.5KE82HE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking and specified VBR/VWM values for reverse polarity only. Bidirectional variants in the same family use the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE82CA). Using 1.5KE82HE3/54 in AC or floating applications would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles, causing failure. Always match polarity to circuit topology.
