Product details
Overview
5KP5.0-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 6.4–7.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 50 mA, 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 543 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤9.2 V at rated surge. It is widely deployed in automotive power supply outputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP5.0-E3/54 datasheet, 5KP5.0-E3/54 pinout, 5KP5.0-E3/54 application, or 5KP5.0-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, P600 package thermal robustness, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping voltage under 5000 W surge, and compatibility with 8.3 ms half-sine surge standards per JEDEC.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated P600 chip junction optimized for high-energy transient suppression without crowbar triggering. Its 5.0 V stand-off supports 5 V logic rail protection while maintaining <2000 μA leakage at VWM - critical for low-power sensor nodes.
The device operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with 0.057 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient and 3.5 V forward voltage at 100 A, enabling predictable clamping behavior during repetitive surges in automotive engine control units and industrial PLC I/O modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; ensures compatibility with 5 V nominal systems without false triggering. |
| VBR (min/max) | 6.4 V / 7.0 V at 50 mA - Tight 5 % tolerance breakdown window guarantees consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| PPPM | 5000 W (10/1000 μs) - Withstands high-energy lightning-induced transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without degradation. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤9.2 V - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress to safe levels during 543 A surge events. |
| IFSM | 600 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Supports fuse coordination in power supply output stages without catastrophic failure. |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - Enables placement near hot components (e.g., MOSFETs, inductors) in compact automotive ECUs. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Protects only against positive transients on cathode-grounded configurations; requires correct orientation in PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: P600 molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94 V-0 rated; RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix); 2.776 g unit weight; 13" paper tape and reel (800 pcs/reel, code 54).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current return path | Connected to protected line (e.g., 5 V rail); conducts surge current toward ground when clamped. |
| Cathode | Reference terminal | Marked by color band; tied to system ground; establishes reverse-biased blocking state during normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains. |
| 5000 W peak pulse rating | Meets ISO 16750-2 and SAE J1113-11 surge immunity requirements for 12 V battery systems. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk of latch-up in downstream 5 V microcontrollers. |
| Fast response time (<1 ps) | Clamps before ESD or switching spikes propagate into sensitive analog front-ends or CAN transceivers. |
| 175 °C max junction temperature | Enables direct mounting on heatsink-equipped PCBs in high-ambient environments like motor drive inverters. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Output | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 5 V regulated output of automotive DC-DC converter supplying MCU and CAN transceiver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp during load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤9.2 V, preventing damage to 5 V tolerant peripherals while allowing fuse coordination. |
Use Scenario: Analog output line (0–5 V) from pressure sensor in factory automation PLC module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt protector against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and inductive kickback from nearby solenoids. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response and <2000 μA leakage preserve signal integrity and measurement accuracy in 16-bit ADC systems. |
| Telecom DC Power Feeds | Consumer Device USB Port Protection |
Use Scenario: –48 V telecom power feed entering remote radio head enclosure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary surge limiter after upstream MOV, handling residual fast-rising transients. Use Value: 5000 W rating absorbs energy that bypasses bulk protection, extending lifetime of downstream DC-DC converters. |
Use Scenario: VBUS line in USB 2.0 host port of smart home hub exposed to user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt clamp referenced to GND, triggered only on positive VBUS overvoltage. Use Value: 5.0 V VWM aligns with USB spec; 9.2 V VC prevents damage to USB controller's 5.5 V absolute max rating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package, 5.0 V VWM, 9.2 V VC - same clamping but lower surge capacity. | Targeted at space-constrained consumer electronics; insufficient for automotive load dump. | Select SMBJ5.0A only where board area is critical and surge energy is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (4 kV). |
| 1.5KE5.0A | Same P600 package, 5000 W rating, but higher VC (10.5 V) and wider VBR tolerance (6.4–8.4 V). | Less precise clamping margin for 5 V logic; acceptable in non-critical industrial controls. | Choose 1.5KE5.0A if cost sensitivity outweighs tight clamping needs and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A and 1.5KE5.0A, the 5KP5.0-E3/54 delivers superior automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q101), tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %), and lowest clamping voltage (9.2 V) among P600 5 V TVS diodes - making it optimal for safety-critical 5 V rail protection where margin and consistency are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5KP5.0-E3/54 under full-rated surge conditions?
The 5KP5.0-E3/54 clamps to a maximum of 9.2 V when subjected to its rated 543 A peak pulse current (IPPM) defined by the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88308, page 2) and reflects worst-case performance at TA = 25 °C. The 5KP5.0-E3/54 maintains this clamping level across its operational temperature range due to its low 0.057 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient.
Is the 5KP5.0-E3/54 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 5KP5.0-E3/54 is strictly unidirectional - it protects only against positive transients on the anode relative to cathode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data buses), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the 5KP5.0CA must be used. The 5KP5.0-E3/54 datasheet explicitly states "Available in uni-directional polarity only", and its pinout and electrical characteristics are specified for reverse-biased operation only.
Does the 5KP5.0-E3/54 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the 5KP5.0-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88308, page 1, FEATURES section and page 3, Notes section). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD - validating its suitability for automotive electronic control units, body modules, and infotainment power supplies.
What is the lead finish and soldering compatibility of the 5KP5.0-E3/54?
The 5KP5.0-E3/54 features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. It supports solder dipping up to 275 °C for 10 seconds (per JESD 22-B106) and passes JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing. The E3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and commercial-grade qualification, making it compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering processes.
How does the 5KP5.0-E3/54 compare to the 5KP5.0AHE3/54 variant?
The 5KP5.0AHE3/54 is the AEC-Q101-qualified version of the same base device, whereas the 5KP5.0-E3/54 is the commercial-grade variant (base P/N-E3). Both share identical electrical specs (VWM, VBR, PPPM, VC), package (P600), and marking. The distinction lies solely in test screening: HE3 undergoes additional automotive-grade stress testing per AEC-Q101, while 5KP5.0-E3/54 meets commercial reliability requirements. The 5KP5.0-E3/54 remains fully functional in non-automotive applications.
