Product details

Overview

5KP85HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 137 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 36.5 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.

For engineers reviewing the 5KP85HE3/54 datasheet, 5KP85HE3/54 pinout, 5KP85HE3/54 application, or 5KP85HE3/54 equivalent, this part is selected for robust overvoltage protection in switching power supply outputs, motor drive circuits, and automotive ECUs where fast response (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and repeatable clamping performance under repetitive transients are critical.

Technical Context

The 5KP85HE3/54 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated P600 junction, optimized for unidirectional clamping of positive-going transients relative to ground. Its breakdown voltage (VBR) is 94.4–104 V at 5 mA test current, and it maintains stable clamping up to 175 °C junction temperature.

It delivers 5000 W peak pulse power per JEDEC-standard 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle, with 8.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C. The device exhibits 0.110 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring predictable voltage drift across operating range.

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
Anode Current entry terminal during forward conduction Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); conducts only during overvoltage events exceeding VBR.
Cathode Current exit terminal; marked by color band Connected to ground reference; establishes unidirectional clamping path from line-to-ground.

Key Features

Feature Design Value

137 V clamping voltage at 36.5 A Limits downstream IC stress to safe levels during 5000 W transients-critical for MOSFET gate drivers and MCU power inputs.
AEC-Q101 qualification Validates reliability for automotive powertrain and body control modules without additional qualification effort.
Low incremental surge resistance Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., inductive switch-off), improving protection margin.
UL 94 V-0 molding compound Ensures flame-retardant enclosure integrity during sustained overloads or fault conditions.

Applications

Automotive Power Supply Protection Industrial Motor Drive DC Bus

Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator transients per ISO 7637-2.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery rail and ground to clamp transients above 85 V.

Use Value: Withstands 5000 W pulses while limiting clamped voltage to 137 V-preserving CAN transceivers and microcontrollers rated ≤160 V.

Use Scenario: Safeguarding IGBT gate driver supplies and DC link capacitors in variable-frequency drives.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-to-ground clamping element absorbing energy from inductive kickback during IGBT turn-off.

Use Value: Fast <1 ns response and low dynamic impedance ensure clamping occurs before downstream components experience destructive overvoltage.

Switching Power Supply Output Telecom DC Feeder Protection

Use Scenario: Replacing crowbar circuits on 48 V telecom rectifier outputs to prevent fuse blow during surges.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode protector that conducts only during overvoltage, enabling system reset after event.

Use Value: 8.0 W steady-state dissipation allows thermal recovery between transients; eliminates need for sacrificial fusing.

Use Scenario: Protecting PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras) connected to outdoor copper lines susceptible to lightning-induced surges.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level surge suppression on DC input side before DC-DC conversion stage.

Use Value: 5000 W rating meets GR-1089-CORE Level 3 surge requirements; RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix ensures compliance in global deployments.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
SMBJ85AHE3/52 Lower peak power (600 W), SMC package, same VWM (85 V), higher VC (139 V at 4.3 A) Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but not for high-energy industrial surges requiring 5000 W handling. Select when board area is limited and surge energy is ≤600 W (e.g., secondary-side protection).
1.5KE85CA Bidirectional variant, same VWM/VC, lower PPPM (1500 W), DO-201 package Applicable where AC-coupled or bidirectional transients exist (e.g., data lines), but insufficient for automotive load dump. Choose only for low-energy bidirectional protection; not a drop-in replacement for 5KP85HE3/54's unidirectional 5000 W capability.

Compared with SMBJ85AHE3/52 and 1.5KE85CA, the 5KP85HE3/54 provides 3.3× and 3.3× higher peak pulse power respectively, making it uniquely suited for primary-side automotive and industrial power rail protection where energy absorption-not just voltage clamping-is the dominant design requirement.

FAQ

What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP85HE3/54 under maximum surge conditions?

The 5KP85HE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at its rated peak pulse current of 36.5 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full 5000 W transient event. The 5KP85HE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.

Is the 5KP85HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes-the 5KP85HE3/54 carries AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming compliance with stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, high-temperature operating life, and temperature cycling. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and P600 package's robust thermal performance make it appropriate for under-hood and powertrain applications. The 5KP85HE3/54 is explicitly referenced in Vishay's automotive-grade TVS documentation.

What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in 5KP85HE3/54?

The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It distinguishes the automotive-grade version from the commercial "E3" variant (e.g., 5KP85A-E3/54), which lacks AEC-Q101 validation. Both share identical electrical specs, but only the 5KP85HE3/54 is approved for automotive use per Vishay's ordering matrix.

How does the 5KP85HE3/54 differ from the 5KP85A-E3/54?

The 5KP85HE3/54 and 5KP85A-E3/54 share identical electrical parameters (VWM, VBR, VC, PPPM) and P600 packaging, but differ in qualification: the "HE3" suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, while "E3" indicates commercial-grade RoHS compliance only. The 5KP85HE3/54 is intended for automotive and mission-critical industrial use.

Can the 5KP85HE3/54 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?

No-the 5KP85HE3/54 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a cathode band. It clamps positive transients relative to ground and conducts no significant current under reverse bias beyond leakage. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential signals), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as 5KP85CA must be used instead of the 5KP85HE3/54.
