Product details
Overview
1N6267AHE3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary 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 working peak reverse 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 power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6267AHE3/51 datasheet, 1N6267AHE3/51 pinout, 1N6267AHE3/51 application, or 1N6267AHE3/51 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), JEDEC 1.5KE package dimensions, and design-meaningful clamping behavior for ESD and lightning surge hardening.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a fast-acting shunt clamp, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its 1500 W peak pulse rating is defined under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions with 0.01% duty cycle, and it sustains 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine).
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (+0.057 %/°C), enabling stable clamping across -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction range. Its 3.5 V maximum forward voltage at 100 A supports low-loss crowbar operation during high-current transients, while RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 6.45 V / 7.14 V at 10 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 5.80 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets safe DC operating margin |
| IPPM | 143 A at 10/1000 µs - quantifies surge current handling capacity without failure |
| VC | ≤10.5 V at IPPM - actual clamped voltage seen by protected IC; ensures downstream devices remain below absolute maximum ratings |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient energy absorption capability per pulse, critical for lightning and inductive switch-off events |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments without derating |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; informs heatsinking needs for repetitive surge scenarios |
Pinout & Package
Package: JEDEC DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE), molded epoxy body with axial leads; cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix), 0.968 g unit weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction or clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., VIN rail); must be routed with low-inductance path to ground reference |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping; marked with color band | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return; determines polarity-sensitive placement on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Enables stable, repeatable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-ground) without degradation |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications requiring zero defect field performance |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.47) | Minimizes stress on downstream components by limiting overshoot during transient suppression |
| Matte tin-plated leads, JESD 201 Class 2 | Prevents tin whisker growth in high-reliability systems, eliminating latent short-circuit risk over 15+ year lifetimes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.8A | DO-214AA package (smaller footprint), 600 W PPPM, VC = 11.2 V at 53.3 A | Lower power handling; suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs with moderate surge exposure | Select SMBJ6.8A when board area is constrained and peak surge energy does not exceed 600 W |
| 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54 | Same 1.5KE package and electrical specs, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), E3-only qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; acceptable for industrial/commercial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Choose 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54 for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring identical clamping performance |
Compared with 1N6267AHE3/51, SMBJ6.8A trades 50% lower surge power for 40% smaller footprint, while 1.5KE6.8A-E3/54 retains identical protection performance but omits AEC-Q101 validation - making 1N6267AHE3/51 the only option when automotive-grade reliability and 1500 W clamping are both required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1N6267AHE3/51?
The 1N6267AHE3/51 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 6.45 V to 7.14 V at 10 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports predictable system-level overvoltage margining in designs using the 1N6267AHE3/51.
Is 1N6267AHE3/51 suitable for bi-directional transient protection?
No, the 1N6267AHE3/51 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC circuits where polarity is fixed and only reverse-polarity transients require suppression. For bi-directional AC or floating signal line protection, Vishay offers the 1N6267CA variant (with CA suffix); the 1N6267AHE3/51 must be used with correct anode-cathode orientation relative to the protected rail.
What does the HE3 suffix indicate on 1N6267AHE3/51?
The HE3 suffix on 1N6267AHE3/51 denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Unlike standard E3 parts, HE3 devices undergo additional automotive-grade stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems using the 1N6267AHE3/51.
How does the clamping voltage of 1N6267AHE3/51 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The 1N6267AHE3/51 clamps transients to ≤10.5 V at its rated 143 A peak pulse current, yielding a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of approximately 1.47. This low ratio - enabled by low incremental surge resistance - ensures minimal overvoltage stress on protected ICs, making the 1N6267AHE3/51 especially effective for safeguarding 5 V and 3.3 V logic interfaces against fast-rising surges.
Can 1N6267AHE3/51 be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
Yes, multiple 1N6267AHE3/51 devices can be paralleled to increase total peak pulse current capacity, provided matched units are selected and layout symmetry (equal trace inductance/resistance) is maintained. However, derating is required: two units do not double IPPM due to dynamic impedance mismatch; typical parallel derating is 15–20%, so two 1N6267AHE3/51 units provide ~240 A rather than 286 A.
