Product details
Overview
1N6267A-E3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 6.45 V to 7.14 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 5.80 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), 1000 µA maximum reverse leakage at VWM, 143 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps transients to 10.5 V at IPPM. It is used in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor interfaces to protect MOSFETs and microcontrollers from inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6267A-E3/51 datasheet, 1N6267A-E3/51 pinout, 1N6267A-E3/51 application, or 1N6267A-E3/51 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC 1.5KE package details, clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal derating behavior, and direct alternatives with documented VBR/VC/IPPM alignment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low incremental clamping resistance. Its unidirectional polarity uses a cathode band marking, and it complies with JEDEC case style 1.5KE mechanical dimensions and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
The 1N6267A-E3/51 sustains 1500 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform at TA = 25 °C, with thermal resistance of 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead). It supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp in Class I/II AC input stage, coordinated with MOV and fuse. Use Value: Delivers 1500 W pulse power handling with 75 °C/W RθJA, allowing PCB-mount integration without discrete heatsink. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.8A | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (3.5 mm × 4.6 mm), VC = 11.2 V @ 53.3 A | Better suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs; insufficient for 1500 W automotive load dump | Select only if surge energy is ≤0.75 J and layout area is limited; verify IPPM derating at elevated TA |
| 1.5KE6.8A | Identical electrical specs and 1.5KE package; differs only in part numbering convention (JEDEC vs. manufacturer prefix) | No functional or mechanical difference; same footprint, thermal profile, and test compliance | Drop-in replacement with identical sourcing and qualification history; preferred for legacy BOM continuity |
Compared with 1N6267A-E3/51, SMBJ6.8A trades peak power for compactness and lower cost in light-duty applications, while 1.5KE6.8A offers identical performance with JEDEC-standardized nomenclature-making it ideal for design reuse and cross-supplier procurement without requalification.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1N6267A-E3/51?
The 1N6267A-E3/51 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 6.45 V to 7.14 V at 10 mA test current, representing ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This tight distribution ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and supports reliable coordination with downstream overvoltage protection thresholds in the 1N6267A-E3/51's target applications.
Is the 1N6267A-E3/51 suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1N6267A-E3/51 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and absence of "CA" in its designation. It conducts only in reverse bias above VBR; for bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the 1N6267CA variant. Using the 1N6267A-E3/51 in AC-coupled or floating signal paths would leave positive-going transients unprotected.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1N6267A-E3/51 under rated surge conditions?
The 1N6267A-E3/51 clamps to a maximum of 10.5 V when subjected to its rated 143 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events, ensuring compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V logic interfaces downstream of the 1N6267A-E3/51.
Does the 1N6267A-E3/51 meet automotive qualification standards?
The base 1N6267A-E3/51 is commercial-grade; however, Vishay offers the AEC-Q101-qualified 1N6267AHE3_B variant with identical electrical specs and 1.5KE packaging. The 1N6267A-E3/51 itself is not AEC-Q101 certified, so for automotive safety-critical modules, designers must specify the HE3 suffix version or validate equivalency per their internal qualification process.
How does thermal derating affect the 1N6267A-E3/51's surge capability above 25 °C?
The 1N6267A-E3/51's peak pulse power (PPPM) is derated linearly above 25 °C ambient, dropping to ~75% at 75 °C and ~50% at 125 °C per Vishay's Fig. 2. This means its effective IPPM at 100 °C ambient falls to approximately 100 A, requiring system-level thermal management or surge margin adjustment when deployed in high-temperature enclosures or near heat sources.
