Product details
Overview
1N6267A-E3/54 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 standoff voltage (VWM), 1000 µA maximum reverse leakage at VWM, 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and clamps transients to ≤10.5 V at 143 A peak pulse current - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6267A-E3/54 datasheet, 1N6267A-E3/54 pinout, 1N6267A-E3/54 application, or 1N6267A-E3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC 1.5KE package details, clamping behavior under surge conditions, thermal derating curves, and direct-fit alternatives for ESD/lightning transient suppression in 5–12 V systems.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when transient voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches into low-impedance conduction, diverting surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low incremental surge resistance.
It complies with 10/1000 µs waveform testing per REA standards, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature - enabling use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments without derating penalties below 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 6.45 V / 7.14 V at 10 mA - defines precise clamping initiation threshold for 6.8 V nominal rating |
| VWM | 5.80 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1000 µA |
| IPPM | 143 A - peak surge current it safely clamps at 10.5 V, corresponding to 1500 W (10/1000 µs) |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤10.5 V - clamped voltage during full-rated surge, limiting stress on protected 5 V logic or LDO inputs |
| TJ max | +175 °C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs) without thermal shutdown risk |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, defining power dissipation limits on standard PCBs |
| Package | JEDEC DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE) - axial-leaded, epoxy-molded, UL 94 V-0 rated body |
Pinout & Package
Package: JEDEC DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE), axial-leaded, molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode identified by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or lowest potential rail; establishes reference for unidirectional clamping |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 5 V supply); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures ±5% VBR tolerance and long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Handles lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) on 50 Ω source impedance |
| Clamping ratio VC/VBR ≈ 1.47 | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot relative to breakdown, reducing stress on downstream 5 V tolerant ICs |
| Response time < 1 ns | Engages before most microsecond-scale transients propagate, protecting fast-switching MOSFET gates and ADC inputs |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variants available | HE3 suffix versions meet automotive reliability requirements (e.g., 1N6267AHE3_B), though 1N6267A-E3/54 is commercial grade |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Card |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 5 V microcontroller I/O pins from load-dump spikes (up to 35 V, 100 ms) and inductive kickback from relay coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt clamp placed between MCU pin and ground, conducting only during positive transients above 6.8 V. Use Value: Limits pin voltage to ≤10.5 V during 143 A surge, preventing gate oxide rupture in 5 V logic and enabling compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
Use Scenario: Shields 24 V digital input circuitry from field-wiring induced surges (e.g., accidental 48 V misconnection or EFT bursts). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end TVS on optocoupler input side, clamping transients before they reach series current-limiting resistor and LED. Use Value: Withstands repetitive 1500 W pulses at 0.01% duty cycle, maintaining signal integrity across 10-year industrial deployment without degradation. |
| Telecom Power Supply Output Rail | Consumer Appliance Motor Driver Board |
Use Scenario: Guards +5 V output of isolated DC/DC converter against backfeed surges from hot-plugged peripherals or cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS connected between output rail and chassis ground, activated only during overvoltage faults. Use Value: Low 5.80 V VWM avoids false triggering during normal 5 V ±5% regulation, while 10.5 V VC prevents latch-up in downstream PMICs. |
Use Scenario: Suppresses commutation spikes from brushed DC motor brushes, which induce >100 V transients on 12 V logic supply traces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rail-to-ground clamp on microcontroller's 12 V VDD pin, absorbing energy before it couples into analog sensor paths. Use Value: 175 °C TJ max allows mounting adjacent to motor driver ICs without thermal derating, sustaining protection performance at board temperatures up to 125 °C. |
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 | DO-214AA package (SMB), 600 W rating, lower IPPM (65 A), tighter VBR tolerance (5% vs. same), higher VC (11.5 V) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; lower power handling requires parallel devices for 1500 W needs | Select SMBJ6.8A when board area is limited and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify layout thermal relief for repeated surges |
| 1.5KE6.8A | Same electrical specs, identical DO-201AD package, E3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade - functionally identical part number variant | No functional difference; 1.5KE6.8A is the base family designation, while 1N6267A is the JEDEC registered device number | 1.5KE6.8A is a direct form-fit-function replacement; both share identical datasheet (88301), pinout, and qualification status |
Compared with 1N6267A-E3/54, SMBJ6.8A trades peak power capacity for compactness and may require thermal derating in high-duty-cycle scenarios, whereas 1.5KE6.8A offers identical protection performance with full cross-reference traceability in Vishay's documentation and distributor inventory systems.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the 1N6267A-E3/54?
The 1N6267A-E3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 6.45 V to 7.14 V at 10 mA test current, per the Vishay datasheet 88301. This 6.8 V nominal rating ensures precise clamping onset for 5 V system protection, with tight ±5% tolerance maintained across temperature and lifetime.
Is the 1N6267A-E3/54 bidirectional or unidirectional?
The 1N6267A-E3/54 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor. Its polarity is marked by a cathode band; it conducts only during positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). Bidirectional variants in the same family use "CA" suffixes (e.g., 1.5KE6.8CA), not applicable to 1N6267A-E3/54.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1N6267A-E3/54 at its rated surge current?
At its rated peak pulse current of 143 A (10/1000 µs waveform), the 1N6267A-E3/54 clamps to a maximum of 10.5 V. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Does the 1N6267A-E3/54 meet automotive qualification standards?
The 1N6267A-E3/54 itself is a commercial-grade part (E3 suffix). However, the identical-specification variant 1N6267AHE3_B is AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications requiring qualification, engineers should specify the HE3_B version - the 1N6267A-E3/54 is intended for industrial and telecom use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What package type does the 1N6267A-E3/54 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 1N6267A-E3/54 uses the JEDEC DO-201AD package (Case Style 1.5KE): axial-leaded, epoxy-molded body meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002; the cathode is marked by a color band, and the device supports solder dip at 275 °C for 10 s per JESD 22-B106.
