Product details
Overview
5KP58A-E3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection. It features 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA, 94 V clamping voltage (VC) at 53.4 A peak pulse current, and 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects power supply outputs and MOSFETs in automotive and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP58A-E3/51 datasheet, 5KP58A-E3/51 pinout, 5KP58A-E3/51 application, or 5KP58A-E3/51 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 5000 W surge rating, 94 V clamping performance at 53.4 A, AEC-Q101 qualification, and P600 through-hole package compatibility with high-current PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 5KP58A-E3/51 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated P600 junction, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages. Its unidirectional configuration enables integration into DC power rails where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation.
It delivers 5000 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. The device sustains 600 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits low incremental surge resistance for stable clamping behavior across repeated transients.
Key Specifications

| VBR min/max | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at 5 mA - Ensures reliable avalanche initiation within tight tolerance band |
| VC @ IPPM | 94 V at 53.4 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 5000 W surge |
| PPPM | 5000 W (10/1000 μs) - Withstands high-energy lightning or inductive-switching transients |
| IFSM | 600 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Survives single-event overcurrent without bond-wire failure |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Blocks reverse current; cathode marked by color band |
Pinout & Package
5KP58A-E3/51 uses the P600 axial-leaded package: molded epoxy body, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated compound, and cathode indicated by a color band. Leads are solderable per J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102, with 275 °C max solder dip (10 s).

Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | Industrial DC Motor Drive Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients per ISO 7637-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges up to ±100 V. Use Value: 94 V clamping ensures microcontrollers and CAN transceivers remain below absolute maximum ratings during 5000 W events. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding H-bridge gate drivers and current sense amplifiers from inductive kickback during motor commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted across DC bus input terminals to absorb energy from flyback diodes and parasitic inductance. Use Value: 600 A IFSM rating allows survival of repetitive 8.3 ms surges without degradation, supporting high-duty-cycle motor control. |
| Telecom AC-DC Adapter Outputs | Server PSU Overvoltage Crowbar Replacement |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side surge suppression on 48 V telecom rectifier outputs exposed to lightning-induced surges on distribution lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamp referenced to output common, activated only during positive overvoltage excursions. Use Value: Tight 64.4–71.2 V VBR range aligns precisely with 48 V system tolerances, minimizing false triggering while ensuring fast response. | Use Scenario: Replacing SCR-based crowbar circuits in redundant server PSUs to avoid latch-up and enable automatic recovery after overvoltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed across main output rail to conduct only during overvoltage, allowing fuse/breaker coordination without latching. Use Value: Non-latching behavior and 175 °C TJ max support hot-swap and fault-clearing operations without manual reset. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A | Lower peak power (600 W), SMC package, same VWM/VBR/VC specs | Not suitable for 5000 W surge environments; limited to board-level signal line protection | Select when space-constrained PCB layout requires surface-mount and surge energy is ≤600 W |
| 1.5KE56A | Same P600 package, lower PPPM (1500 W), 56 V VWM, 62.2–68.8 V VBR | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not validated for automotive under-hood use | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where 1500 W surge immunity suffices and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ58A and 1.5KE56A, the 5KP58A-E3/51 provides 3.3× higher surge power handling than 1.5KE56A and over 8× more than SMBJ58A, while maintaining AEC-Q101 compliance-making it uniquely suited for high-reliability, high-energy automotive and industrial power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP58A-E3/51 under full-rated surge current?
The 5KP58A-E3/51 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 94 V at 53.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 5000 W transient event and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 5KP58A-E3/51 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance.
Is the 5KP58A-E3/51 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP58A-E3/51 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications. Its P600 package supports high thermal mass mounting, and its unidirectional polarity aligns with common 12 V/24 V rail protection topologies. The 5KP58A-E3/51 meets requirements for ISO 7637-2 load dump and transient immunity testing in automotive ECUs.
What does the "E3/51" suffix indicate in 5KP58A-E3/51?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while "/51" specifies the preferred packaging code: 500-piece bulk pack in ammo pack format. This differs from tape-and-reel variants like /54 (800-piece 13″ reel). The 5KP58A-E3/51 is not AEC-Q101 qualified-only HE3-suffixed versions carry that qualification-so design-in requires verification of end-equipment reliability requirements.
How does the 5KP58A-E3/51 differ from the 1.5KE56A in practical design use?
The 5KP58A-E3/51 delivers 5000 W peak pulse power versus 1500 W for the 1.5KE56A, supports higher surge currents (53.4 A vs. 17.4 A), and is AEC-Q101 qualified-whereas the 1.5KE56A is not. Both use P600 packages, but the 5KP58A-E3/51's tighter VBR tolerance (64.4–71.2 V) and lower clamping ratio improve margin in precision 58 V systems. The 5KP58A-E3/51 is preferred for automotive and high-reliability industrial use; the 1.5KE56A suits cost-driven, lower-energy applications.
Can the 5KP58A-E3/51 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 5KP58A-E3/51 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It conducts only during positive overvoltage events on the cathode side relative to anode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data lines with ± transients), two 5KP58A-E3/51 devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as 5KP58CA should be selected instead. Using a single 5KP58A-E3/51 in reverse-biased mode risks permanent damage due to lack of reverse avalanche capability.
