Product details
Overview
5KP130AHE3_A/C from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power rails and signal lines. It features 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA, 209 V clamping voltage at 23.9 A peak pulse current, and 5000 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP130AHE3_A/C datasheet, 5KP130AHE3_A/C pinout, 5KP130AHE3_A/C application, or 5KP130AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, unidirectional polarity, and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar element during overvoltage events, leveraging a glass-passivated P600 chip junction for robust surge handling. Its 5000 W peak pulse power rating is defined per JEDEC-standard 10/1000 μs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and it exhibits low incremental surge resistance for tight clamping control.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature, supports 500 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains stable VBR temperature coefficient of 0.112 %/°C - critical for predictable clamping across automotive thermal profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 130 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 144–159 V at 5 mA - precise voltage at which avalanche conduction initiates; ensures reliable turn-on during transients |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 209 V at IPPM = 23.9 A - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated surge; determines stress on downstream components |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 5000 W - energy-handling capacity under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; enables protection against lightning and inductive switching surges |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode marked by color band; suitable for DC-biased rails where reverse conduction must be blocked |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD; required for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: P600 molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94 V-0 rated; RoHS compliant; AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix); lead finish solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-potential rail; carries surge current to reference during clamping |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Marked by color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V supply); defines unidirectional conduction path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-ground) without cascaded staging |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive powertrain and chassis systems requiring zero-failure field performance over 15-year service life |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing stress on 150 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers |
| P600 glass-passivated junction | Provides stable leakage (<2 μA at VWM) and repeatable breakdown after repeated surge events, unlike epoxy-only packages |
| 175 °C max junction temperature | Supports direct mounting on heatsinks in high-ambient environments (e.g., EV battery management modules) without thermal shutdown |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Power Supply Output |

| Sensor Signal Line Protection | Motor Drive DC Bus Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units from coupled noise and ESD in harsh under-hood environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤2 μA at 130 V) unidirectional TVS placed at connector interface; blocks reverse transients while preserving signal integrity. Use Value: Maintains sub-1 nA bias current error in precision ratiometric sensors, avoiding measurement drift caused by TVS leakage at elevated temperatures. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing commutation spikes on 300–400 V DC bus of HVAC inverters and servo drives during IGBT switching transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-energy TVS mounted directly across bus rails; absorbs repetitive 5000 W pulses without degradation due to glass-passivated junction. Use Value: Extends IGBT lifetime by limiting dv/dt-induced gate stress and preventing shoot-through failures during high-frequency PWM operation. |
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 SMAJ130A | Same VWM (130 V), lower PPPM (400 W), DO-214AC package, 175 °C TJ max | Rated for lower-energy transients (IEC 61000-4-2 ESD only); not suitable for ISO 7637-2 load dump | Select when space-constrained PCB layout requires SMD footprint and surge requirements are limited to <1 kW |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE130A | Same VWM (130 V), same PPPM (5000 W), P600 package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher VF (4.5 V) | Lacks automotive qualification; higher forward voltage increases conduction loss during sustained overvoltage | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and thermal margin allows higher VF |
Compared with SMAJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the 5KP130AHE3_A/C delivers automotive-grade reliability, superior clamping consistency under thermal stress, and verified performance in high-duty-cycle surge environments - making it the preferred choice for safety-critical power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP130AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The 5KP130AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 23.9 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during full-rated surge events. The 5KP130AHE3_A/C maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the 5KP130AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP130AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains. Its P600 package, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and validated performance under ISO 7637-2 load dump and pulse testing make it appropriate for under-hood and chassis-mounted systems. The 5KP130AHE3_A/C meets automotive reliability and thermal requirements without derating compromises.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in 5KP130AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "A/C" specifies the preferred package code (C = 13-inch paper tape and reel, 800 units per reel). This ordering code identifies the exact variant shipped - the 5KP130AHE3_A/C - ensuring traceability to Vishay's qualified manufacturing lot and packaging configuration.
How does the 5KP130AHE3_A/C differ from standard 1.5KE-series TVS diodes?
The 5KP130AHE3_A/C offers identical VWM (130 V) and PPPM (5000 W) ratings as the 1.5KE130A but adds AEC-Q101 qualification, tighter VBR tolerance (144–159 V vs. wider 1.5KE spread), and lower clamping ratio (209 V / ~151.5 V avg ≈ 1.39 vs. ~1.45). Its glass-passivated P600 junction also provides superior long-term surge endurance versus epoxy-only alternatives. The 5KP130AHE3_A/C is therefore preferred where automotive compliance and repeatable clamping are mandatory.
Can the 5KP130AHE3_A/C be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 5KP130AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, with cathode identified by a color band. It conducts only during positive transients relative to its anode and blocks reverse voltage up to 130 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential signals), two 5KP130AHE3_A/C devices must be connected in series opposition - but this configuration is not recommended without validation, as the 5KP130AHE3_A/C datasheet specifies no bidirectional capability or symmetrical parameters.
