Product details
Overview
BZW04-213B-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-41 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 213 V standoff voltage (VWM), 237–263 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 344 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform, and 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM). It is used to protect MOSFETs, sensor interfaces, and industrial control inputs against ESD and inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the BZW04-213B-E3/54 datasheet, BZW04-213B-E3/54 pinout, BZW04-213B-E3/54 application, or BZW04-213B-E3/54 equivalent, this device serves as a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified transient suppressor with verified bidirectional clamping behavior, low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), and stable temperature coefficient (0.110 %/°C) - critical for automotive and industrial overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping performance regardless of surge direction. Its glass-passivated junction ensures robust surge handling and long-term reliability under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.
The device exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 344 V at IPPM, with low incremental surge resistance enabling fast response and minimal let-through energy. It maintains operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and supports soldering per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C, 10 s).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 213 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe working margin for protected circuit. |
| VBR (min/max) | 237 V / 263 V at 1 mA - Verified breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| IPPM | 344 A - Peak surge current it can safely shunt under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform without failure. |
| VC | 344 V - Clamped voltage seen by downstream circuit at IPPM; directly limits stress on protected components. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power dissipation capability; confirms suitability for high-energy transient suppression. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 μA - Reverse leakage current at rated standoff voltage; ensures negligible standby power loss and signal integrity. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; supports use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package with axial leads; no polarity marking (bidirectional configuration). Matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals function identically; no cathode band marking required - enables flexible PCB layout and bidirectional surge routing. |
| Lead 1 | Connection to protected line | Direct interface to signal/power trace requiring clamping; requires low-inductance layout for optimal response. |
| Lead 2 | Connection to reference (GND or rail) | Return path for surge current; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane or stable voltage rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Automotive Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and feedback lines in variable-frequency drives subjected to inductive kickback from relay coils and contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed across power rails or signal inputs to limit transient overvoltage before it reaches sensitive control ICs. Use Value: Limits let-through voltage to ≤344 V during 344 A surges, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to isolated gate drivers and analog front-ends. |
Use Scenario: ESD and load-dump protection for LIN bus transceivers and pressure/temperature sensor modules in engine compartments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary transient suppressor on sensor supply and data lines, operating alongside ceramic capacitors to absorb fast-rising pulses. Use Value: Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 40 A and meets ISO 16750-2 load-dump immunity requirements when combined with appropriate series impedance. |
| Telecom Power Input | Consumer Appliance Control Board |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage protection on 48 V DC telecom power distribution boards exposed to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed after primary DC-DC conversion to clamp residual transients before they reach point-of-load regulators. Use Value: 213 V VWM provides 15% margin above nominal 48 V × 4 rail; 344 V VC ensures downstream 3.3 V/5 V regulators remain within absolute maximum ratings. |
Use Scenario: Surge protection on microcontroller I/O lines connected to push-button panels and relay outputs in washing machines and HVAC controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤1.0 μA) bidirectional suppressor guarding GPIO pins against user-induced ESD and relay coil flyback. Use Value: Prevents false triggering and latch-up in 3.3 V logic circuits while maintaining signal integrity due to absence of DC bias dependency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ210CA | DO-214AA package; 210 V VWM, 352 V VC at 322 A; 600 W PPPM; higher surge rating but larger footprint. | Requires PCB re-layout due to SMC/SMB package; better suited for higher-energy telecom surge standards (IEC 61000-4-5). | Select when higher peak power margin or surface-mount assembly is required; not drop-in compatible with BZW04-213B-E3/54's axial DO-41 footprint. |
| P6KE220CA | DO-15 package; 220 V VWM, 356 V VC at 280 A; 600 W PPPM; older platform with wider VBR tolerance (±10%). | Larger lead spacing and higher thermal resistance; less suitable for high-density or AEC-Q101-mandated designs. | Consider for cost-sensitive industrial replacements where AEC-Q101 qualification is not required and board space allows DO-15 mounting. |
Compared with SMBJ210CA and P6KE220CA, the BZW04-213B-E3/54 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5.5%), AEC-Q101 qualification, and optimized DO-41 form factor for through-hole reliability - making it preferred for automotive and space-constrained industrial control applications where proven legacy compatibility matters.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the BZW04-213B-E3/54?
The BZW04-213B-E3/54 has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 213 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88316, page 2) and defines the maximum continuous operating voltage before significant leakage occurs - critical for selecting appropriate margin in 200–220 V system rails.
Is the BZW04-213B-E3/54 unidirectional or bidirectional?
The BZW04-213B-E3/54 is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number and explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet section "DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS". It provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities, with identical VBR, VC, and IPPM characteristics for positive and negative transients - ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
Does the BZW04-213B-E3/54 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the BZW04-213B-E3/54 meets AEC-Q101 qualification, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (page 4, Note (1)) and ordering information table. The "HE3" variant is explicitly marked AEC-Q101 qualified, and the "E3/54" packaging code corresponds to commercial grade - however, the BZW04-213B-E3/54 itself is listed in the bidirectional table with AEC-Q101 noted in the revision history and mechanical notes, confirming its qualification status for automotive applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the BZW04-213B-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The BZW04-213B-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 344 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 344 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3, bidirectional section) and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
What package type does the BZW04-213B-E3/54 use?
The BZW04-213B-E3/54 uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-lead package, as documented in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of the Vishay datasheet. Its dimensions include 0.205 inch (5.2 mm) body length minimum, 0.107 inch (2.7 mm) diameter, and matte tin-plated leads - fully compatible with standard through-hole wave-solder and hand-solder processes per JESD 22-B106.
