Product details
Overview
5KP58AHE3_A/C 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), 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 53.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 94 V clamping voltage (VC) - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against lightning and inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP58AHE3_A/C datasheet, 5KP58AHE3_A/C pinout, 5KP58AHE3_A/C application, or 5KP58AHE3_A/C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, P600 mechanical dimensions, clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surges, and direct alternatives for overvoltage protection design-in.
Technical Context
The 5KP58AHE3_A/C operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated P600 junction, optimized for non-repetitive transient suppression in DC power rails and signal paths. Its 94 V clamping voltage at 53.4 A ensures robust overvoltage limiting during 10/1000 μs surges, while its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and -55 °C to +175 °C operating range support under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments.
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms reliability for automotive electronics; the device exhibits low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective replacement of crowbar circuits in switching power supply outputs. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 class 2 whisker requirements (HE3 suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe working margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR @ IT = 5 mA | 64.4–71.2 V - Measured breakdown range confirming reliable avalanche initiation at rated test current. |
| VC @ IPPM = 53.4 A | 94 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream components. |
| PPPM | 5000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables survival of high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| IFSM | 500 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge current rating; supports fuse/breaker coordination without catastrophic failure. |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in engine control units and industrial motor drives with minimal thermal derating. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode marked by color band; suitable for DC rail protection where reverse conduction is not required. |
Pinout & Package
Package: P600 molded epoxy case with glass-passivated junction, UL 94 V-0 rated, 9.5 mm body length, 0.375" lead spacing, matte tin-plated leads. Cathode identified by axial color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return in unidirectional TVS configuration; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection / Surge sink | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 48 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR, shunting surge to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and HTRB per JEDEC standards. |
| 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against severe transients such as load dump (ISO 16750-2) and EFT bursts without cascaded stages. |
| 94 V clamping at 53.4 A | Provides predictable overvoltage ceiling for 60 V nominal systems, ensuring downstream MOSFETs and controllers remain within safe SOA limits. |
| P600 package with JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance | Supports automated assembly and long-term field reliability in vibration-prone automotive modules and industrial controls. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving protection fidelity for sensitive analog and communication interfaces. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Control |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS absorbing energy between output capacitor and downstream PoE injectors or interface ICs. Use Value: 58 V VWM provides 20 % margin above nominal 48 V system, while 94 V VC ensures compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 immunity. | Use Scenario: CAN or LIN bus line protection in body control modules exposed to ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional TVS placed inline with signal traces to limit voltage excursions without distorting data integrity. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response and 94 V clamping prevent false triggering of transceivers while maintaining signal rise/fall times per ISO 11898-2. |
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-E3/52 (Vishay) | Lower peak power (600 W), smaller SMB package, same VWM/VC but lower IPPM (10.3 A) | Suitable only for board-level ESD or low-energy transients; insufficient for load dump or lightning. | Select when space-constrained and surge energy is limited to IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 levels. |
| 1.5KE56A (ON Semiconductor) | Same P600 package, 56 V VWM, 62.2–68.7 V VBR, 93.6 V VC at 53.5 A, 5000 W rating, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; requires additional reliability validation for vehicle programs. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with SMBJ58A-E3/52 and 1.5KE56A, the 5KP58AHE3_A/C uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 5000 W surge capacity, and P600 thermal robustness - making it the only option among the three validated for under-hood automotive power rail protection without derating or parallel staging.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP58AHE3_A/C under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 5KP58AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 94 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 53.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuitry. The 5KP58AHE3_A/C maintains this clamping performance across its specified temperature range and is validated in Vishay's 88308 datasheet.
Is the 5KP58AHE3_A/C qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP58AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 16-Mar-2023 (document 88308). The HE3 suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, covering stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. This makes the 5KP58AHE3_A/C suitable for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What does the "_A/C" suffix mean in 5KP58AHE3_A/C?
The "_A/C" suffix in 5KP58AHE3_A/C indicates the preferred packaging code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature: "C" denotes 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel packaging with a base quantity of 800 units. The "A" refers to the revision level of the device variant, consistent with Vishay's internal revision tracking for the HE3-qualified P600 TVS family. This matches the ordering example shown in the 88308 datasheet.
How does the 5KP58AHE3_A/C differ from the standard 5KP58A-E3?
The 5KP58AHE3_A/C differs from the 5KP58A-E3 in qualification and plating: the HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance, whereas the E3 suffix only indicates RoHS compliance and JESD 201 class 1A. Both share identical electrical specs (VWM = 58 V, VC = 94 V), but only the 5KP58AHE3_A/C is approved for automotive production without additional qualification effort.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the 5KP58AHE3_A/C above 25 °C ambient?
The 5KP58AHE3_A/C follows Vishay's standard derating curve (Fig. 2 in document 88308): peak pulse power decreases linearly from 100 % at 25 °C to ~50 % at 125 °C junction temperature. At TJ = 175 °C, pulse power is fully derated to zero. For continuous power dissipation, the 8.0 W rating applies only with infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C; actual PCB layout must account for thermal resistance to maintain safe TJ.
