Product details
Overview
5KP100-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 100 V standoff voltage (VWM), 111–123 V breakdown range (VBR), 162 V clamping voltage at 30.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect MOSFETs and ICs in automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP100-E3/54 datasheet, 5KP100-E3/54 pinout, 5KP100-E3/54 application, or 5KP100-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected device's absolute maximum rating, unidirectional polarity requirement, P600 thermal dissipation capability, and compliance with AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood use.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar element during transients-conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, limiting downstream voltage to ≤162 V at 30.9 A. Its glass-passivated P600 junction enables low incremental surge resistance and fast response (<1 ns), critical for suppressing ESD and load-dump spikes.
It is rated for 175 °C max junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient; power dissipation is 8.0 W on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker requirements (E3 suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 111–123 V at 5.0 mA - Voltage range where device enters avalanche conduction; defines turn-on threshold tolerance. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 162 V at IPPM = 30.9 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; must be below IC/MOSFET absolute max rating. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 5000 W - Energy-handling capacity for standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; determines survivability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b load dump. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 500 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Non-repetitive forward surge rating; supports crowbar-style overvoltage shutdown without fuse blow delay. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode-banded; blocks forward current until VF ≈ 3.5 V at 100 A; suitable for DC rail protection only. |
| Package | P600 - Axial-leaded, molded epoxy case (9.5 mm length); UL 94 V-0 rated; optimized for PCB mounting with thermal pad or heatsink interface. |
Pinout & Package
P600 package: axial-leaded, cylindrical epoxy body with cathode band marking. Leads are matte tin-plated, 0.340–0.360 inch (8.6–9.1 mm) diameter, 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) body length. Mounting requires adequate copper area for thermal dissipation per Fig. 5 derating curve.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current entry point during forward conduction or clamping | Connected to lower-potential side of protected rail (e.g., GND or return path); must handle 500 A surge without bond wire failure. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit point during reverse avalanche clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); clamps voltage to ≤162 V when transient exceeds 111 V, diverting surge energy to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against severe automotive load-dump events (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5) without cascaded TVS or fusing. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 variant; E3 is commercial grade) | Validates reliability for automotive under-hood applications including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per stress test plan. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.46) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping-critical for safeguarding 130 V-rated MOSFETs or 150 V input regulators. |
| 175 °C max junction temperature | Supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., engine control units) with appropriate PCB copper thermal relief design. |
| RoHS-compliant, halogen-free molding compound | Meets JEDEC JS709A and EU Directive 2011/65/EU; eliminates brominated flame retardants and chlorine-based additives. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Power Supply Output |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs from load-dump transients (up to 120 V, 400 ms) and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional crowbar clamping element placed between battery rail and primary DC/DC converter input. Use Value: Clamps peak voltage to 162 V while absorbing 5000 W, preventing destruction of upstream MOSFETs and enabling fuse coordination per ISO 16750-2. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side TVS connected across output terminals to limit overvoltage during AC line faults or rectifier recovery. Use Value: 30.9 A IPPM and 162 V VC ensure downstream PoE injectors and backplane regulators remain within safe operating area during 10/1000 μs surges. |
| Motor Drive Gate Driver Protection | Automotive Sensor Signal Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding high-side gate drivers in 48 V mild-hybrid inverters from inductive kickback during IGBT/MOSFET turn-off. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode mounted directly at driver output node, referenced to local ground plane. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time and low dynamic impedance limit voltage overshoot to <165 V, preventing gate oxide rupture in SiC drivers. |
Use Scenario: Guarding LIN bus or analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in vehicle cabin modules against ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected TVS on signal line with series resistor, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: 2.0 μA max leakage at 100 V ensures minimal impact on 12-bit ADC accuracy; 162 V clamping protects 130 V op-amp inputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ100A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (surface-mount), 100 V VWM, 160 V VC at 17.3 A | Designed for board-level signal-line protection-not suitable for 5000 W load-dump duty; limited thermal mass. | Select only for space-constrained, low-energy signal paths where P600 axial mounting is impractical. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE100A | Same P600 package, 100 V VWM, but lower PPPM (1500 W), 163 V VC at 9.2 A, no AEC-Q101 option | Rated for general industrial use only; insufficient for automotive load-dump per ISO 7637-2 without parallel staging. | Acceptable for non-automotive 24 V systems with lower surge severity; verify thermal design for repeated 1500 W pulses. |
Compared with SMAJ100A and 1.5KE100A, the 5KP100-E3/54 delivers 3.3× higher peak power handling and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the sole choice for single-device automotive load-dump protection in P600 form factor.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP100-E3/54 under standard test conditions?
The 5KP100-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 30.9 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The 5KP100-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the 5KP100-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
The 5KP100-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction. For AEC-Q101 qualification, the HE3 variant (e.g., 5KP100AHE3/54) must be selected. The 5KP100-E3/54 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, though its design basis and P600 platform support that qualification in the HE3 version.
How does the 5KP100-E3/54 differ from lower-voltage 5KP series devices like 5KP12A?
The 5KP100-E3/54 differs primarily in standoff voltage (100 V vs. 12 V), breakdown range (111–123 V vs. 13.3–14.7 V), and clamping voltage (162 V vs. 19.9 V). All share identical P600 package, 5000 W PPPM rating, and unidirectional polarity-but the 5KP100-E3/54 targets 24–48 V systems, whereas 5KP12A serves 12 V logic rails.
Can the 5KP100-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the 5KP100-E3/54 is strictly unidirectional, with cathode marked by a band. Bidirectional protection requires either a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., 5KP100CA) or back-to-back connection of two unidirectional devices. Using the 5KP100-E3/54 alone in AC or floating applications risks forward conduction and failure.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 5KP100-E3/54 junction?
The 5KP100-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C, with derating beginning above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 100 °C ambient, its peak pulse power capability drops to approximately 50 % of the 5000 W rated value, requiring careful thermal layout design for sustained surge duty.
