Product details
Overview
1N6299AHE3_B/C 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 1500 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), 143–158 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 128 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 207 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 7.2 A peak pulse current, 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 1N6299AHE3_B/C datasheet, 1N6299AHE3_B/C pinout, 1N6299AHE3_B/C application, or 1N6299AHE3_B/C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 15.4 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and JEDEC 1.5KE package mechanical data - all critical for ESD/lightning transient design validation and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of fast-rising transients from inductive switching or lightning-induced surges. Its low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) ensure minimal overshoot during 1500 W pulse events.
The device complies with AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and supports soldering per J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102, with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance (HE3 suffix). Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15.4 °C/W, confirming suitability for lead-mounted PCB layouts without heatsinking under moderate duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 143 V / 158 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise voltage threshold where clamping initiates; critical for coordination with downstream IC overvoltage limits |
| VWM | 128 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; ensures no leakage conduction during normal 120 VAC-derived DC bus operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 207 V at 7.2 A - clamped voltage during full 1500 W transient; determines peak stress on protected circuitry |
| PPPM | 1500 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - peak surge energy handling capacity; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |

Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 16750-2) and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp positive-going surges before they reach LDOs or microcontrollers. Use Value: Clamps 12 V rail to ≤207 V during 1500 W pulses, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to 3.3 V/5 V logic supplies downstream. |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA current loop interfaces in PLC analog input modules subjected to field wiring ESD and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS connected across signal and return lines to shunt transients before reaching precision op-amps or ADC front-ends. Use Value: Sub-nanosecond response ensures clamping occurs before sensitive analog components experience destructive overvoltage. |
| Telecom AC/DC Adapter Input Stage | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side DC output of offline SMPS powering VoIP phones or base stations, subject to conducted surges from shared building wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS installed across DC output terminals to suppress common-mode transients coupled from mains input via transformer parasitics. Use Value: 128 V VWM allows safe operation with 12 V nominal outputs while clamping surges above 143 V within spec. |
Use Scenario: 24 V DC bus feeding BLDC motor drivers in smart home appliances, exposed to commutation spikes and ESD from user interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed at motor driver power input to protect gate drivers and half-bridge FETs from inductive flyback energy. Use Value: 207 V clamping voltage provides margin above 24 V bus + 100 V flyback peaks, avoiding unintended conduction during normal operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ150A-E3/52 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (surface-mount), VBR = 167–185 V, VC = 243 V @ 2.5 A | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited surge current handling; suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs, not under-hood automotive | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify layout thermal relief for SMB footprint. |
| 1.5KE150AHE3_B | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same DO-201AD package; differs only in packaging code (B vs B/C) and reel configuration | No functional or application difference; both rated for identical automotive and industrial use cases | Direct form-fit-function replacement; B/C denotes tape-and-reel variant with 1400-unit quantity - confirm reel compatibility with pick-and-place equipment. |
Compared with SMBJ150A-E3/52, 1N6299AHE3_B/C delivers 2.5× higher surge power handling and automotive qualification, while 1.5KE150AHE3_B offers identical protection performance in an interchangeable packaging format - making 1N6299AHE3_B/C optimal for high-energy, mission-critical transient suppression where reliability and legacy through-hole compatibility are required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for 1N6299AHE3_B/C?
The 1N6299AHE3_B/C has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 143 V to 158 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±5 % tolerance about the nominal 150 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset and simplifies coordination with system-level overvoltage thresholds in automotive and industrial designs.
Is 1N6299AHE3_B/C qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, 1N6299AHE3_B/C carries the HE3 suffix, indicating it is AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay documentation. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT), validating its use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and infotainment systems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 1N6299AHE3_B/C and at what current does it occur?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 1N6299AHE3_B/C is 207 V, measured at the peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does 1N6299AHE3_B/C have RoHS compliance and lead-free plating?
Yes, the "HE3" suffix in 1N6299AHE3_B/C confirms RoHS compliance and matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The device also satisfies JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, making it suitable for high-reliability applications where long-term interconnect integrity is essential.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N6299AHE3_B/C affect PCB layout decisions?
With a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15.4 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 75 °C/W, 1N6299AHE3_B/C relies on adequate copper pour and lead length (≥9.5 mm) for heat dissipation. Layouts should avoid narrow traces on anode/cathode leads and provide ≥250 mil² copper area per lead to maintain TJ < 175 °C during repetitive surge events.
