Product details

Overview

5KP58-E3/54 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), 60.0–66.3 V breakdown voltage (V_BR), and 87.1 V maximum clamping voltage (V_C) at 53.4 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power supplies and industrial switching converters.

For engineers reviewing the 5KP58-E3/54 datasheet, 5KP58-E3/54 pinout, 5KP58-E3/54 application, or 5KP58-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 54.0 V stand-off voltage (V_WM), low incremental surge resistance, and P600 package thermal performance under repetitive transients.

Technical Context

This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping overvoltage protection device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 60.0–66.3 V breakdown range. Its glass-passivated P600 junction enables fast response (<1 ns) and stable clamping during 10/1000 μs surges up to 5000 W, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2.

It is rated for 500 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), features 2.0 μA max reverse leakage at 54.0 V, and maintains operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. The matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing.

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), smaller SMB package, 58 V V_WM, same unidirectional polarity	Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to board-level ESD or low-energy transients	Select when space-constrained and surge energy ≤600 W; verify thermal margin on PCB
1.5KE56A	Same P600 package, 56 V V_WM, but only 1500 W P_PPM; no AEC-Q101 qualification	Lacks automotive qualification; lower clamping ratio (V_C/V_BR = 1.27) but insufficient for 5 kV surge immunity	Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where AEC-Q101 and 5 kW rating are not required

Compared with SMBJ58A and 1.5KE56A, the 5KP58-E3/54 delivers 3.3× higher surge power handling and automotive-grade reliability, making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood 48 V systems requiring ISO 7637-2 compliance.

FAQ

What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP58-E3/54 under full-rated surge conditions?

The 5KP58-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (V_C) of 87.1 V at 53.4 A peak pulse current (I_PPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and ensures downstream components see no more than 87.1 V during worst-case surge events. The 5KP58-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its specified temperature range.

Is the 5KP58-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, the 5KP58-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its –55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range, robust P600 package, and ability to withstand load-dump transients make it appropriate for ECUs, ADAS modules, and 48 V power distribution systems. The 5KP58-E3/54 meets requirements for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a testing.

What does the "E3/54" suffix mean in 5KP58-E3/54?

The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance; "54" denotes the preferred package code for 13-inch paper tape and reel packaging containing 800 units. This ordering code specifies both environmental compliance and logistics format-critical for automated assembly and automotive traceability. The 5KP58-E3/54 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; for that variant, the part number is 5KP58HE3/54.

How does the 5KP58-E3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?

The 5KP58-E3/54 is unidirectional and protects only against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). Bidirectional variants (e.g., 5KP58CA) protect both polarities but exhibit higher leakage and reduced V_BR symmetry. For 54 V DC systems where only positive surges occur-such as automotive battery rails-the 5KP58-E3/54 offers tighter V_BR tolerance and lower leakage (2.0 μA), improving system efficiency and noise immunity.

Can the 5KP58-E3/54 be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?

No-parallel connection of 5KP58-E3/54 devices is not recommended due to mismatch in V_BR (60.0–66.3 V) and dynamic impedance, causing uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher surge ratings, select a single higher-power device (e.g., 15KP58A) or implement external current-sharing resistors with derated total power. The 5KP58-E3/54 must be applied as a single-unit solution per protected node.
