Product details
Overview
1N6289A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 53.2–58.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 47.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.0 V clamping voltage (VC) 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. It is used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6289A-E3/73 datasheet, 1N6289A-E3/73 pinout, 1N6289A-E3/73 application, or 1N6289A-E3/73 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC 1.5KE package details, clamping behavior under surge conditions, and validated alternatives for ESD/lightning transient suppression in 24 V and 48 V systems.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping action limits transient voltages before sensitive downstream components-such as MOSFET gate drivers or microcontroller I/O-experience overstress.
The device complies with JEDEC standard 1.5KE case outline, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits a +0.103 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. It is rated for 6.5 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C lead temperature.

Use Value: 77.0 V clamping ensures logic-level signals remain within safe VIH/VIL margins despite 1 kV EFT events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A | DO-214AA package; 58.0–64.4 V VBR; 53.3 V VWM; 93.6 V VC @ 16.0 A; lower PPPM (600 W) | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but requires higher layout creepage for same voltage rating | Select when board area is limited and 600 W surge rating suffices for IEC 61000-4-4 EFT compliance. |
| 1.5KE56A-E3/54 | Same 1.5KE package and identical VBR/VWM/VC specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (54 vs. 73) | No functional difference; identical electrical and thermal performance | Choose based on preferred reel size and procurement logistics-not electrical design impact. |
Compared with 1N6289A-E3/73, SMBJ58A trades package compactness and lower surge rating for reduced footprint, while 1.5KE56A-E3/54 offers identical protection performance in alternate packaging-enabling drop-in substitution where reel format aligns with SMT line requirements.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the 1N6289A-E3/73?
The 1N6289A-E3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 53.2 V to 58.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing ±5% tolerance around the nominal 56 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset in 48 V system designs and avoids premature conduction during normal operation.
Is the 1N6289A-E3/73 RoHS compliant and qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the 1N6289A-E3/73 carries the "E3" suffix indicating RoHS compliance and commercial-grade qualification. While it is not AEC-Q101 qualified (which requires "HE3" suffix), its 175 °C max junction temperature and robust construction make it widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as body control modules and infotainment power supplies.
How does the clamping voltage of the 1N6289A-E3/73 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The 1N6289A-E3/73 clamps at 77.0 V when subjected to its rated 19.5 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), which is approximately 36% above its minimum breakdown voltage of 53.2 V. This differential reflects the device's incremental surge resistance and defines the maximum voltage stress imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Can the 1N6289A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 1N6289A-E3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection at comparable voltage ratings, Vishay offers the 1N6289CA variant (or 1.5KE56CA), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and lacks polarity marking.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the 1N6289A-E3/73?
The 1N6289A-E3/73 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W under standard mounting conditions. When mounted on a PCB with minimal copper, this value governs steady-state temperature rise; for high-reliability designs, thermal relief pads or heatsinking should be considered if power dissipation approaches 6.5 W.
