Product details
Overview
BZW04-213-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), and 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, sensor interfaces, and industrial control inputs against inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the BZW04-213-E3/54 datasheet, BZW04-213-E3/54 pinout, BZW04-213-E3/54 application, or BZW04-213-E3/54 equivalent, this device serves as a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified transient suppressor for high-voltage DC bus and telecom line protection where precise clamping voltage and low leakage (<1 μA at VWM) are critical.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, delivering consistent clamping behavior across positive and negative transients without polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR temperature coefficient (0.110 %/°C) and robust surge handling up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards and supports repetitive 10/1000 μs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle. Its 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation and 0.67 μA max reverse leakage at 213 V enable reliable operation in high-impedance sensing circuits and unattended industrial equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 213 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets safe operating margin for 200–220 V DC systems. |
| VBR min/max | 237 V / 263 V at 1 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 344 V - clamping voltage under 344 A transient; limits downstream voltage stress to <344 V during worst-case surge events. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform; defines single-event energy absorption capability. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 μA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance analog or logic monitoring paths. |
| TJ max | 175 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports deployment in enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ210CA | DO-214AA package; 210 V VWM; 350 W PPPM; higher clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45 vs. 1.35 for BZW04-213-E3/54). | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs or high-reliability axial mounting requirements. | Select SMBJ210CA only when board space constraints mandate SMD and thermal management supports lower peak power. |
| P6KE220CA | DO-15 package; 220 V VWM; 600 W PPPM; larger footprint and higher VF (5.0 V) in forward conduction. | Higher surge capacity but slower response due to larger junction area; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Choose P6KE220CA for cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and 600 W headroom is required. |
