Product details
Overview
5KP10-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 17.0 V clamping voltage at 294 A peak pulse current, and 10.0 V stand-off voltage. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP10-E3/54 datasheet, 5KP10-E3/54 pinout, 5KP10-E3/54 application, or 5KP10-E3/54 equivalent, key selection factors include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C max junction temperature, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, and P600 package thermal performance under repetitive transients.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping overvoltage protector, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 11.1–12.3 V breakdown range (tested at 5.0 mA). Its glass-passivated P600 junction enables fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges on DC power rails.
Designed for use on switching power supply outputs, it replaces crowbar circuits by sustaining high peak currents (294 A) long enough to allow upstream fuses or breakers to clear faults-without permanent shorting-enabling system reset and continued operation after transient events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 10.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC bias margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 11.1–12.3 V at 5.0 mA - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; sets precise overvoltage trip threshold. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 17.0 V at 294 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; determines stress on downstream components. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 5000 W - Energy-handling capacity for standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - Wide thermal operating envelope supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| Package | P600 - Molded epoxy case with UL 94 V-0 rating; provides mechanical ruggedness and thermal dissipation for high-power transient absorption. |
Pinout & Package
P600 package: axial-leaded, molded epoxy body with cathode band marking; leads are matte tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test (E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-side reference; completes clamping loop during transient events. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased input / Protected line connection | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., +12 V rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when VIN > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and surge endurance-suitable for engine control and ADAS power rails. |
| 5000 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients without degradation, enabling single-device protection for 24 V industrial systems per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.7) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping-reduces stress on downstream MOSFETs and gate drivers. |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Engages before sensitive electronics experience damaging voltage rise-critical for protecting high-speed logic and analog sensors. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Switching Supply Output |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator transients per ISO 7637-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping device placed between power rail and chassis ground.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-power unidirectional clamp on primary DC feed line. Use Value: 175 °C max junction temperature ensures stable operation in sealed outdoor cabinets; UL 94 V-0 molding prevents flame propagation. | Use Scenario: Protecting analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation against ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (typ. <100 pF) TVS placed at connector interface. Use Value: 17.0 V clamping voltage preserves signal integrity for 0–10 V or 4–20 mA interfaces while diverting >290 A transients. |
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 SMAJ10A | Lower peak power (400 W), smaller SMA package, 17.0 V clamping at 23.5 A. | Targeted at board-level signal-line protection-not suitable for 5000 W bulk power rail clamping. | Select 5KP10-E3/54 for high-energy DC bus protection; choose SMAJ10A only for low-energy signal paths with space constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE10A | Same P600 package, 1500 W peak power, 17.0 V clamping at 88.2 A, non-AEC-Q101. | Lacks automotive qualification and lower energy rating limits use in harsh environments. | Use 1.5KE10A for cost-sensitive industrial supplies where AEC-Q101 and 5000 W capability are not required. |
Compared with SMAJ10A and 1.5KE10A, the 5KP10-E3/54 delivers 3.3× higher peak power than 1.5KE10A and over 12× that of SMAJ10A-making it uniquely suited for primary-side surge suppression in automotive and heavy-industrial 12–24 V systems where fault energy exceeds 100 mJ.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP10-E3/54 under maximum rated surge current?
The 5KP10-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.0 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 294 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured and guaranteed per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Is the 5KP10-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP10-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, robust P600 package, and ability to withstand repetitive high-energy transients make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power rail protection per ISO 7637-2.
What does the "E3/54" suffix indicate in 5KP10-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade matte tin plating meeting JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance, while "/54" specifies the preferred packaging code: 800 pieces per 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel. This ordering format ensures consistent logistics and assembly compatibility.
How does the 5KP10-E3/54 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
The 5KP10-E3/54 is unidirectional only, meaning it conducts in reverse avalanche mode above VBR but blocks forward current like a standard diode. Bidirectional variants (e.g., 5KP10CA) provide symmetrical clamping for AC lines or data buses-whereas 5KP10-E3/54 is optimized for DC power rail protection with tighter VWM/VBR ratios and higher surge ratings.
Can the 5KP10-E3/54 replace a 1.5KE10A in an existing design?
Physically yes-the 5KP10-E3/54 uses the same P600 package-but electrically it offers 3.3× higher peak pulse power (5000 W vs. 1500 W) and higher surge current capability. Replacement requires verifying PCB thermal relief, fuse coordination, and whether the application demands AEC-Q101 qualification-both share identical VWM (10.0 V) and VC (17.0 V), simplifying validation.
