Product details
Overview
1N6282AHE3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 30 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 28.5–31.5 V at 1.0 mA), 25.6 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), 41.4 V clamping voltage at 36.2 A peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6282AHE3/51 datasheet, 1N6282AHE3/51 pinout, 1N6282AHE3/51 application, or 1N6282AHE3/51 equivalent, this device is selected for robust transient suppression in automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC-DC converter input protection where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio, and high surge current tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 25.6 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR, diverting surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
The device uses a DO-201AD package with axial leads, supports uni-directional polarity (cathode marked by band), and is rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature. Thermal resistance is 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling effective heat dissipation during repetitive transients when mounted on PCB copper pours.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 28.5 V / 31.5 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise voltage threshold for reliable clamping onset without false triggering |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous working voltage; ensures zero DC leakage in 24 V nominal systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 41.4 V at 36.2 A - clamping voltage limits stress on protected MOSFETs or microcontrollers during 10/1000 µs surges |
| PPPM | 1500 W - handles lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) without degradation |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands high-energy inductive switch-off events in motor drivers and solenoid controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ33A-E3/52 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (surface-mount), VBR = 36.7–40.6 V, VC = 53.3 V @ 11.3 A | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; lower clamping performance limits use to sub-2 kV surge environments | Select when board area is constrained and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (2 kV) |
| 1.5KE33AHE3/54 | Same DO-201AD package, identical AEC-Q101 qualification, but VBR = 31.4–34.7 V, VC = 45.7 V @ 32.8 A | Higher clamping voltage increases stress on protected devices; suitable only where higher VWM (28.2 V) is acceptable | Choose only if system operating voltage exceeds 25.6 V and design tolerates 45.7 V clamping |
Compared with 1N6282AHE3/51, SMBJ33A-E3/52 trades surge capacity for footprint reduction, while 1.5KE33AHE3/54 maintains package compatibility but raises clamping voltage by 4.3 V-reducing safety margin for 24 V systems.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1N6282AHE3/51?
The 1N6282AHE3/51 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at a test current of 1.0 mA. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable design margins in 24 V systems where VWM = 25.6 V provides 2.4 V headroom below minimum VBR.
Is the 1N6282AHE3/51 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1N6282AHE3/51 is a uni-directional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the 1N6282CAHE3/54 variant. Using the 1N6282AHE3/51 in AC or floating-line applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients and potential failure.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1N6282AHE3/51 under surge conditions?
The 1N6282AHE3/51 clamps to a maximum of 41.4 V at its rated peak pulse current of 36.2 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, and represents the highest voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Does the 1N6282AHE3/51 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the 1N6282AHE3/51 carries the HE3 suffix, confirming full AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay Document Number 88301. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT), making it approved for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive applications.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N6282AHE3/51 affect its surge handling capability?
The 1N6282AHE3/51 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W. This low value allows rapid heat transfer from the silicon junction to PCB copper or heatsinking leads, sustaining repetitive surge events without thermal runaway-especially critical in automotive modules with limited airflow and ambient temperatures up to 125 °C.
