Product details
Overview
1N6267HE3/73 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, and clamps transients to 10.5 V at 143 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform. It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power and operates from –55 °C to +175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6267HE3/73 datasheet, 1N6267HE3/73 pinout, 1N6267HE3/73 application, or 1N6267HE3/73 equivalent, this part serves as a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified TVS for automotive and industrial surge protection where fast clamping (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.55), and high surge robustness (200 A IFSM) are required.
Technical Context
This device uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for transient suppression with minimal parasitic capacitance and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity enables cathode-referenced placement on positive-rail protection paths, and its 10/1000 µs waveform rating reflects standardized lightning-surge immunity testing per REA P.E. 60.
The 1N6267HE3/73 exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.057 %/°C and thermal resistance of 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation without external heatsinking up to 6.5 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C.
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 design margining |
| VWM | 5.80 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins |
| IPPM | 143 A at 10/1000 µs - peak surge current it safely clamps without failure |
| VC | 10.5 V at IPPM - actual clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient energy absorption capability per single event |
| TJ max | +175 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| Package | Case Style 1.5KE - axial-leaded DO-201AD package with matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
1N6267HE3/73 is housed in a DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE) axial-leaded package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; the anode is the unmarked end. Leads are matte tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in unidirectional rail protection |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked end | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); absorbs positive transients when VLINE > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage across temperature and lifetime |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications requiring reliability certification |
| Clamping time <1 ns | Protects sensitive ICs (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers) before damage occurs |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a) |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|

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-E3/52 | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 6.45–7.14 V VBR; 1000 W PPPM; higher RθJA (90 °C/W) | Lower peak power rating; better suited for PCB space-constrained designs with moderate surge exposure | Select when board area is limited and 1000 W surge capacity suffices; requires thermal pad for >1 W continuous dissipation |
| 1.5KE6.8AHE3_B | Same electrical specs and DO-201AD package; differs only in packaging format (tape-and-reel vs. bulk/73) | No functional difference; identical performance and qualification (AEC-Q101, RoHS) | Choose for automated SMT assembly with 13" tape; 1N6267HE3/73 is preferred for manual or low-volume prototyping with bulk delivery |
Compared with SMBJ6.8A-E3/52, the 1N6267HE3/73 provides 50 % higher surge power handling and lower thermal resistance to lead, making it preferable for high-reliability automotive and industrial systems; versus 1.5KE6.8AHE3_B, it offers identical protection performance but in a different packaging configuration optimized for flexible procurement.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1N6267HE3/73?
The 1N6267HE3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage 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 VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable margining in 5 V or 12 V system protection designs. The 1N6267HE3/73 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1N6267HE3/73 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1N6267HE3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and absence of "CA" in its designation. It conducts only in reverse breakdown (cathode-to-anode) and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers variants such as 1N6267CA or 1.5KE6.8CA, which suppress both positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix mean in 1N6267HE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "73" indicates bulk packaging in ammo-pack format (as opposed to tape-and-reel "B" or "C"). This makes the 1N6267HE3/73 appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, and low-volume production where reel-based feeding is unnecessary.
How does the clamping voltage of the 1N6267HE3/73 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The 1N6267HE3/73 clamps to 10.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 143 A, yielding a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of approximately 1.55 using the typical VBR of 6.8 V. This low ratio confirms effective transient suppression, ensuring protected circuits experience minimal overvoltage even under worst-case 1500 W surges. The 1N6267HE3/73 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast response.
Can the 1N6267HE3/73 replace older 1N6267A parts in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N6267HE3/73 is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for legacy 1N6267A parts, retaining identical electrical specifications, DO-201AD package dimensions, and pinout. The HE3/73 version adds AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS compliance, and enhanced whisker resistance-making it suitable for drop-in upgrades in automotive and industrial applications without layout or schematic changes.
