Product details
Overview
1N6289A-E3/51 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 53.2–58.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 47.8 V maximum working voltage (VWM), 77.0 V clamping voltage at 19.5 A peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6289A-E3/51 datasheet, 1N6289A-E3/51 pinout, 1N6289A-E3/51 application, or 1N6289A-E3/51 equivalent, this part delivers verified transient suppression for 48 V systems with low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33), fast sub-nanosecond response, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for J-STD-002 soldering.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve stable avalanche breakdown and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is characterized by a 77.0 V maximum VC at 19.5 A IPPM under 10/1000 µs waveform, with a temperature coefficient of VBR at +0.103 %/°C - enabling predictable voltage margining across automotive thermal profiles.
The device supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits 3.5 V max forward voltage at 100 A, confirming robust handling of inductive turn-off transients. Thermal resistance is specified as RθJL = 15.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting direct PCB copper pour heatsinking without external thermal vias in moderate-power applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A | DO-214AA package (SMB), 58.0–64.4 V VBR, 53.3 V VWM, 93.6 V VC @ 16.0 A, 600 W PPPM | Lower peak power and higher clamping voltage; suited for space-constrained PCBs where 1500 W is not required | Select SMBJ58A when board area is critical and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), not full lightning-level 61000-4-5 |
| 1.5KE56AHE3_A | Same 1.5KE package and electrical specs, but AEC-Q101 qualified and marked with HE3_A suffix for automotive grade | Required for ASIL-B functional safety paths and under-hood deployment where qualification traceability is mandated | Choose 1.5KE56AHE3_A for automotive production programs needing PPAP documentation and AEC-Q101 conformance evidence |
Compared with 1N6289A-E3/51, SMBJ58A offers smaller footprint but reduced surge capacity and higher clamping ratio, while 1.5KE56AHE3_A provides identical protection performance plus automotive qualification - making it the drop-in replacement for safety-critical vehicle systems.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1N6289A-E3/51?
The 1N6289A-E3/51 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 53.2 V to 58.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 56 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and simplifies voltage margining in 48 V system designs.
Is 1N6289A-E3/51 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, 1N6289A-E3/51 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC or polarity-defined circuits. For bidirectional AC or data-line protection, Vishay offers the 1N6289CA variant (not 1N6289A-E3/51), which features symmetrical clamping in both directions and no polarity marking.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1N6289A-E3/51 under surge conditions?
The 1N6289A-E3/51 clamps to a maximum of 77.0 V when subjected to its rated 19.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Does 1N6289A-E3/51 meet automotive qualification standards?
The 1N6289A-E3/51 is commercial-grade and RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix), but it is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications requiring qualification, the functionally identical 1.5KE56AHE3_A - with HE3_A suffix - is the designated AEC-Q101 variant of the same device family.
What package type does 1N6289A-E3/51 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
1N6289A-E3/51 uses the DO-201AD (Case Style 1.5KE) axial package: molded UL 94 V-0 epoxy body, 0.375" lead length, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and glass-passivated chip junction. The cathode is marked with a color band, and the device supports solder dip at 275 °C for 10 s.
