Product details
Overview
1N6289HE3/73 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 standoff voltage (VWM), 77.0 V clamping voltage at 19.5 A peak pulse current, 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates from –55 °C to +175 °C - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6289HE3/73 datasheet, 1N6289HE3/73 pinout, 1N6289HE3/73 application, or 1N6289HE3/73 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), JEDEC 1.5KE package dimensions, and real-world clamping behavior under lightning-surge transients per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
This device uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity enables cathode-referenced clamping on positive-going surges while blocking reverse leakage ≤1.0 µA at 47.8 V.
The 1N6289HE3/73 complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive use and supports soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Its 1.5KE case (DO-201AD) provides UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 53.2 V / 58.8 V - ensures reliable conduction onset above normal 48 V rail operating range, preventing false triggering |
| VWM | 47.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA, compatible with 48 V nominal systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 77.0 V - clamped voltage during 19.5 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress to safe levels |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak surge power handling capability for lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| IPPM | 19.5 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current supported without degradation |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - extended junction temperature rating enabling under-hood automotive placement |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, defining derating requirements on PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
1N6289HE3/73 is housed in a DO-201AD (JEDEC 1.5KE) molded epoxy package with axial leads. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; anode is unmarked. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry point during forward conduction; grounded reference in unidirectional clamp configuration | Connects to system ground or low-side return path to enable clamping of positive transients on the cathode side |
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink during reverse-biased clamping; connects to protected line | Placed directly on the 48 V rail or signal line to divert surge energy to ground when VIN exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics per stress test requirements |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave surges up to 4 kV open-circuit / 2 kA short-circuit |
| Ultra-fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps before sensitive downstream MOSFETs or microcontrollers experience overvoltage damage |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Prevents flame propagation in enclosed automotive or industrial enclosures during fault conditions |
Applications

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-E3/52 (Vishay) | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (DO-214AA), same VBR range (55.1–60.7 V) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial-grade board space-constrained designs | Select when footprint reduction outweighs automotive qualification and 1500 W surge margin. |
| 1.5KE56AHE3/73 (Vishay) | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging tape/reel code (/73 vs /54) | No functional difference - same die, same 1.5KE case, same thermal performance | Choose for identical performance with alternate logistics coding; not a functional substitute but a form-fit-function match. |
Compared with SMBJ58A-E3/52, the 1N6289HE3/73 delivers 2.5× higher surge power and automotive qualification; compared with 1.5KE56AHE3/73, it shares full electrical and mechanical equivalence but reflects Vishay's updated HE3 suffix revision for enhanced whisker resistance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1N6289HE3/73?
The 1N6289HE3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 53.2 V to 58.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 56 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports predictable overvoltage protection design margins in 48 V systems where the 1N6289HE3/73 is commonly applied.
Is 1N6289HE3/73 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the 1N6289HE3/73 carries AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay documentation (Document Number 88301, Revision 09-Aug-2022). The HE3 suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification for the 1.5KE6.8AHE3_B through 1.5KE220AHE3_B series, which includes the 1N6289HE3/73 as the commercial part number mapping to 1.5KE56AHE3_B. This makes the 1N6289HE3/73 suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics.
What is the clamping voltage of 1N6289HE3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1N6289HE3/73 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 77.0 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 19.5 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events and is critical for verifying compatibility with downstream components' absolute maximum ratings in designs using the 1N6289HE3/73.
Does 1N6289HE3/73 have bidirectional capability?
No, the 1N6289HE3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode. Its polarity is defined by a cathode band, and it conducts only when the cathode is driven positive relative to the anode. Bidirectional variants in the same family use the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5KE56CA); the "A" suffix in 1N6289HE3/73 confirms unidirectional construction, making it appropriate for single-polarity rail protection such as 48 V DC inputs where reverse voltage is not expected.
What package type does 1N6289HE3/73 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 1N6289HE3/73 uses the JEDEC-standard 1.5KE package (DO-201AD), featuring a molded epoxy body with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, glass-passivated silicon junction, and matte tin-plated axial leads. Lead finish meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and soldering is qualified per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Its 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length and axial form factor support through-hole mounting in high-reliability power applications where the 1N6289HE3/73 is deployed.
