Product details
Overview
BZW04P10BHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection on signal and power lines. It features a 10.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 16.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 24.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform - ideal for safeguarding automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O circuits against ESD and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the BZW04P10BHE3/54 datasheet, BZW04P10BHE3/54 pinout, BZW04P10BHE3/54 application, or BZW04P10BHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-204AL (DO-41) package compatibility, bi-directional clamping symmetry, and verified performance under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surge conditions per JESD22-B106 solderability standards.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates identically in both polarities, with symmetrical breakdown (11.4–13.2 V at 1.0 mA IT) and clamping behavior. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response to transients without degradation under repeated stress.
Thermally rated for TJ = –55 °C to +175 °C and qualified to AEC-Q101, the device sustains 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75 °C. The HE3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification, distinguishing it from commercial-grade E3 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 10.2 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe operating margin for 12 V nominal systems. |
| VBR min/max | 11.4 V / 13.2 V at 1.0 mA - guaranteed breakdown range ensures consistent turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 16.7 V at 24.0 A - clamping voltage limits downstream voltage stress during 10/1000 μs surges, protecting 15 V-rated ICs. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 μs waveform supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge immunity. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - high junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive reliability including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per AEC standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, epoxy-molded case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability requirements. Bi-directional types have no polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bi-directional transient conduction path | No polarity marking; either end connects to protected line - enables single-component placement on AC or floating signals. |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current-carrying terminals | Low-inductance axial structure minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients; leads support manual or automated insertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and ID under thermal cycling and humidity exposure - critical for automotive field life. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Withstands repeated IEC 61000-4-5 surge events without parameter shift or failure - validated per AEC-Q101 stress profiles. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix) | Confirms suitability for automotive applications including engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes let-through energy during clamping - reduces stress on downstream MOSFETs, op-amps, and microcontroller I/O pins. |
| RoHS-compliant, matte tin plating | Enables lead-free reflow and wave soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s - compatible with IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10CA | Same DO-214AA package; 10 V VWM, 17.0 V VC @ 24.4 A; lower PPPM (600 W) but higher capacitance (~100 pF). | Preferred where board space allows SMC/SMB footprint and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for 12 V systems. | Select SMBJ10CA only if layout permits surface-mount assembly and system-level testing confirms adequate clamping margin. |
| P6KE10CA | DO-15 package; identical VWM (10 V) and VC (17.0 V); lower PPPM (600 W) but larger footprint and higher thermal resistance. | Suitable for legacy through-hole designs requiring proven field history, but less optimal for high-density automotive PCBs. | Choose P6KE10CA when upgrading existing DO-15-based designs and AEC-Q101 qualification is not mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ10CA and P6KE10CA, BZW04P10BHE3/54 offers AEC-Q101 qualification, tighter VBR tolerance (±10% vs ±15%), lower leakage (<1 µA vs ~5 µA), and DO-41's superior axial thermal path - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and high-reliability industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of BZW04P10BHE3/54 under standard surge conditions?
The BZW04P10BHE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 16.7 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 24.0 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and reflects worst-case performance across manufacturing lot and temperature extremes - ensuring downstream 15 V-rated components remain within safe operating limits during surge events.
Is BZW04P10BHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZW04P10BHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HE3 suffix in its part number. It has passed accelerated stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. Its –55 °C to +175 °C operating range and DO-204AL package make it appropriate for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
How does the bi-directional configuration of BZW04P10BHE3/54 affect circuit design?
The bi-directional nature of BZW04P10BHE3/54 eliminates polarity concerns during placement - either lead can connect to the protected line. This simplifies layout for AC-coupled or floating signal paths (e.g., RS-485, CAN, audio lines) and avoids orientation errors in high-volume assembly. Electrical characteristics apply identically in both directions per datasheet Table 1.
What is the meaning of the "HE3/54" suffix in BZW04P10BHE3/54?
In BZW04P10BHE3/54, "HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "54" specifies the preferred packaging code - 13-inch paper tape and reel containing 550 units. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade E3 variants and bulk or ammo-pack alternatives.
Can BZW04P10BHE3/54 replace uni-directional TVS diodes in existing designs?
BZW04P10BHE3/54 should not directly replace uni-directional TVS diodes without circuit review. While it provides equivalent clamping in both directions, uni-directional parts offer lower forward voltage (VF ≈ 3.5 V) for DC bias paths - a feature absent in bi-directional devices. Verify that reverse-biased operation and absence of cathode marking align with system grounding and fault-handling requirements before substitution.
