Product details
Overview
1N6287HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the 1.5KE family, designed for primary overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at 1.0 mA), 40.2 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.8 V clamping voltage (VC) at 23.1 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6287HE3/54 datasheet, 1N6287HE3/54 pinout, 1N6287HE3/54 application, or 1N6287HE3/54 equivalent, this part delivers verified AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy packaging - critical for high-reliability board-level surge protection design and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when transient voltage exceeds its 40.2 V stand-off threshold, it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to clamp the line at ≤64.8 V while diverting up to 23.1 A of 10/1000 µs surge current. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low incremental surge resistance.
Thermally, it supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with 15.4 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient rating - enabling direct PCB mounting without heatsink for short-duration transients in power rail and I/O line protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 44.7 V / 49.4 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation window for repeatable clamping behavior |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 48 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, up to 60 V/100 ms). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground, clamping within 1 ns to limit voltage seen by downstream DC/DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Maintains system uptime by preventing latch-up or gate oxide rupture in 40 V-rated MOSFETs and LDOs during 120 V/50 ms transients. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog inputs of pressure/temperature sensors in PLC modules from ESD and field-wiring induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (≈100 pF) unidirectional TVS installed at connector entry point, grounding fast transients before they reach op-amp front-end. Use Value: Preserves 12-bit ADC accuracy by limiting transient-induced offset shift to <0.5 LSB during ±8 kV contact ESD (IEC 61000-4-2). |
| Telecom AC-DC Adapter Input Stage | Motor Drive Gate Driver Supply Clamp |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression on 24 V output of telecom wall adapters exposed to lightning-induced surges on PoE cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS (VWM = 40.2 V) placed across output capacitor to absorb 1500 W surges without false triggering during normal 24 V regulation. Use Value: Eliminates need for redundant crowbar circuits while meeting UL 60950-1 secondary circuit surge withstand requirements. | Use Scenario: Clamping supply rails feeding isolated gate drivers in 3-phase inverters subject to shoot-through-induced voltage spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS connected between driver VDD and GND, clamping 64.8 V to protect 30 V-rated level-shifters and bootstrap FETs. Use Value: Prevents gate driver latch-up during 100 ns dv/dt events (>50 V/ns) from parasitic inductance in high-current switching nodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45A | DO-214AA package (SMB), 45 V VWM, 70 V VC @ 17.1 A, 600 W PPPM | Lower power rating and surface-mount format - suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs, not high-energy industrial surges | Select SMBJ45A only if board area is constrained and surge energy remains below 200 mJ; verify thermal derating at 75 °C ambient. |
| 1.5KE47A-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs and DO-201AD package, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker rating | Lacks automotive qualification - acceptable for industrial controls but excluded from Tier-1 automotive BOMs | Choose 1.5KE47A-E3/54 for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with SMBJ45A and 1.5KE47A-E3/54, the 1N6287HE3/54 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and full 1500 W surge capability in an axial-leaded package - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive modules requiring both mechanical robustness and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for 1N6287HE3/54?
The 1N6287HE3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 44.7 V to 49.4 V at a test current of 1.0 mA, measured per JEDEC standards. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes from –55 °C to +175 °C, directly supporting compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements in safety-critical designs.
Is 1N6287HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1N6287HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay documentation (Document 88301, Note 2), covering stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD. Its HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and RoHS compliance - meeting Tier-1 automotive requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power rail protection where long-term reliability under thermal cycling is mandatory.
How does the clamping voltage of 1N6287HE3/54 compare to its stand-off voltage?
The 1N6287HE3/54 has a maximum stand-off voltage (VWM) of 40.2 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at 23.1 A peak pulse current. This 24.6 V differential provides a 61% overvoltage margin above VWM, ensuring safe operation during normal conditions while delivering effective protection against transients exceeding 40.2 V - critical for preserving 45 V-rated components in 48 V systems.
What package type does 1N6287HE3/54 use, and what are its key mechanical properties?
The 1N6287HE3/54 uses the DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE) axial package: 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length, 0.210" (5.3 mm) body diameter, molded UL 94 V-0 epoxy body, and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its glass-passivated junction and 15.4 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance support reliable through-hole mounting in high-vibration environments without thermal derating penalties.
Can 1N6287HE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1N6287HE3/54 is strictly unidirectional - indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants in the same voltage grade use the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE47CA). Using 1N6287HE3/54 in bidirectional applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing catastrophic failure. Always match polarity to circuit topology: cathode to protected line, anode to ground for unidirectional clamping.
