Product details
Overview
1N6287A-E3/54 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 44.7 V to 49.4 V breakdown voltage range at 1 mA test current, 40.2 V maximum standoff voltage, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, 23.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), and clamps transients to ≤64.8 V. It is widely used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6287A-E3/54 datasheet, 1N6287A-E3/54 pinout, 1N6287A-E3/54 application, or 1N6287A-E3/54 equivalent, this part delivers verified 1500 W transient suppression with glass-passivated junction reliability, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, and UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy packaging - critical for ESD and lightning surge hardening in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The 1N6287A-E3/54 operates as a unidirectional avalanche-clamping device, leveraging a silicon planar junction structure with glass passivation for stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping action responds within <1 ns, enabling protection of downstream MOSFETs and ICs against fast-rising inductive switching spikes and EFT events.
Thermally, it supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 15.4 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance. It sustains 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and dissipates up to 6.5 W on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 44.7 V min / 49.4 V max at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for reliable overvoltage detection |
| Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 40.2 V max - ensures no conduction during normal 36–40 V DC rail operation |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤64.8 V at 23.1 A IPPM - limits transient voltage seen by protected load to safe margin below IC absolute max ratings |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 1500 W (10/1000 µs) - handles high-energy surges from motor commutation or load dump without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (ID) | ≤1.0 µA at VWM - prevents excessive quiescent current drain in battery-powered systems |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating loss |
| Package | Case Style 1.5KE - axial-leaded DO-201AD package with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length, UL 94 V-0 compliant |
Pinout & Package
1N6287A-E3/54 uses the standard DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE) axial-leaded package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; polarity must be observed in series connection with DC rails.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground-reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; carries full surge current during clamping |
| Cathode | Protected-line terminal | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 48 V supply input); reverse-biased during normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and low parameter drift across temperature and life cycles |
| 1500 W peak pulse rating | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV, 2 Ω source) without degradation |
| Sub-nanosecond response time | Clamps transients before sensitive logic or analog circuitry can be damaged |
| RoHS-compliant matte tin plating | Meets J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards; passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test |
| UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding | Provides flame-retardant mechanical encapsulation suitable for enclosed industrial enclosures |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 48 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator overshoot. IC Role / Device Role: Primary shunt clamp placed between power rail and chassis ground, upstream of DC-DC converters. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤64.8 V, preserving integrity of 75 V-rated input stages in PMICs and microcontrollers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 4–20 mA current-loop transmitters and RS-485 nodes against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and cable-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role: Bidirectional-capable variant not applicable; this unidirectional part used on powered side of loop with proper polarity orientation. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide rupture in op-amps and transceivers by clamping fast transients before they propagate into analog front-ends. |
| Telecom DC Power Feeds | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Inputs |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection on -48 V telecom rectifier outputs exposed to lightning-induced surges on long feeder lines. IC Role / Device Role: First-stage TVS in multi-tier protection scheme, coordinated with GDTs and MOVs. Use Value: Fast clamping reduces let-through energy to downstream components, extending system MTBF in outdoor cabinets. | Use Scenario: Suppressing inductive kickback from brushed DC motors in washing machines and HVAC blowers. IC Role / Device Role: Mounted across motor terminals or on H-bridge supply rail to absorb flyback energy. Use Value: Eliminates need for snubber RC networks, reducing BOM count while maintaining EN 61000-6-4 radiated emissions compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ48A | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), 48 V nominal VBR, higher VC (77.4 V) | Best suited for space-constrained PCBs with lower surge exposure (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2) | Select when board area is limited and peak surge energy is ≤400 W; verify layout thermal relief for 6.5 W dissipation. |
| 1.5KE47A | Same electrical specs and DO-201AD package; differs only in ordering suffix (E3/54 vs. bulk/other tape-and-reel codes) | No functional difference; identical performance, reliability, and qualification status | Direct form-fit-function replacement; use when alternate packaging or logistics requirements apply. |
Compared with SMAJ48A, 1N6287A-E3/54 provides 275 % higher surge power handling and lower clamping voltage, making it suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments; versus 1.5KE47A, it is electrically and mechanically identical - differing only in reel packaging configuration and traceability marking.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1N6287A-E3/54?
The 1N6287A-E3/54 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 44.7 V minimum to 49.4 V maximum at 1 mA test current, representing ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 47 V rating. This tight VBR spread ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and enables predictable coordination with downstream overvoltage protection thresholds in the 1N6287A-E3/54-based design.
Is the 1N6287A-E3/54 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 1N6287A-E3/54 carries the "E3" suffix indicating full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and meets Vishay's material categorization standards for hazardous substances. It is also halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with no brominated or chlorinated flame retardants in its UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding compound - confirmed in Vishay document 99912.
Can the 1N6287A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1N6287A-E3/54 is strictly a unidirectional TVS diode. Its cathode-band marking and asymmetric IV curve require correct polarity installation. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the 1N6287CA variant (not 1N6287A-E3/54), which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions and lacks polarity marking.
What is the maximum allowable mounting temperature for soldering the 1N6287A-E3/54?
The 1N6287A-E3/54 supports solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and reflow profiles must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020. Lead finish is matte tin, qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability. Exceeding these limits risks delamination or junction damage, compromising the 1N6287A-E3/54's surge endurance.
Does the 1N6287A-E3/54 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, the 1N6287A-E3/54 is commercial-grade only. AEC-Q101 qualified versions carry the "HE3" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE47AHE3_B). The 1N6287A-E3/54 does not undergo the extended stress testing required for automotive under-hood applications, though its 175 °C TJmax and robust construction make it suitable for industrial and telecom use cases where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
