Product details
Overview
5KP36HE3/54 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), 36 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 58.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 86.1 A peak pulse current. It serves as primary overvoltage protection on DC power rails in automotive ECUs and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP36HE3/54 datasheet, 5KP36HE3/54 pinout, 5KP36HE3/54 application, or 5KP36HE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal derating behavior, clamping performance under surge, and RoHS-compliant packaging details - all critical for automotive-grade board-level ESD and lightning surge design validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates in avalanche breakdown mode to clamp transients above its 40.0–44.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 5.0 mA), with <0.1% duty cycle capability and fast response time (<1 ns). Its P600 glass-passivated junction enables stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and supports 600 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM).
The device exhibits low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35), ensuring predictable energy absorption during 10/1000 μs surges. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode-band marking simplify PCB layout and orientation verification in series-connected protection schemes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36AHE3/52 | Lower peak power (600 W), smaller SMB package, same VWM (36 V), higher VC (58.1 V → 60.0 V), AEC-Q101 qualified. | Targeted at space-constrained PCBs where 5000 W surge is not required; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is ≤1 kV; verify thermal dissipation in confined layouts. |
| 1.5KE36A-E3/54 | Same P600 package, lower peak power (1500 W), identical VWM/VBR, higher VC (64.5 V), commercial-grade (not AEC-Q101). | Cost-sensitive industrial applications without automotive qualification requirements; lacks high-temp reliability validation. | Choose for non-automotive 24 V systems where 1.5 kW surge capacity suffices and lifecycle assurance is not mandated. |
Compared with SMBJ36AHE3/52 and 1.5KE36A-E3/54, the 5KP36HE3/54 uniquely delivers automotive-grade 5000 W clamping in P600 form factor - enabling single-device compliance with ISO 16750-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 while maintaining thermal robustness up to 175 °C.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP36HE3/54 under maximum surge conditions?
The 5KP36HE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 58.1 V when subjected to its rated 86.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured and guaranteed per JEDEC standards, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The 5KP36HE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 5KP36HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP36HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its P600 package, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and robust surge handling make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power inputs. The HE3 suffix confirms compliance with automotive material and whisker resistance requirements (JESD 201 Class 2).
How does the 5KP36HE3/54 differ from the standard 5KP36A-E3/54?
The 5KP36HE3/54 differs from 5KP36A-E3/54 in qualification and plating: the "H" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, and "E3" with "HE3" suffix indicates JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Both share identical electrical specs (VWM = 36 V, VC = 58.1 V), but only the 5KP36HE3/54 is approved for automotive production without additional qualification.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation of the 5KP36HE3/54?
The 5KP36HE3/54 has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 8.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C. This value drops linearly above 25 °C ambient per the derating curve in Figure 5 of the datasheet; at 125 °C ambient, usable PD falls to approximately 4.0 W.
Can the 5KP36HE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 5KP36HE3/54 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet features section. It conducts in reverse bias above VBR and blocks forward current up to 3.5 V at 100 A. For bidirectional protection, two 5KP36HE3/54 devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., 5KP36CA) should be selected instead.
