Product details
Overview
P4KE130A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 124 V to 137 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 179 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and DO-41 package. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE130A-E3/54 datasheet, P4KE130A-E3/54 pinout, P4KE130A-E3/54 application, or P4KE130A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (179 V at IPPM), low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (RθJL = 66 °C/W), and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (124–137 V), it avalanches to limit transient energy across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance, critical for repeatable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle.
Designed for DC-biased applications, it exhibits 111 V maximum working voltage (VWM) and 179 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2 A peak pulse current - enabling reliable coordination with downstream 150 V-rated components. The device's -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction range supports under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial deployments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for predictable clamping onset |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA; sets safe DC operating margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V - clamped voltage during 400 W transient; determines stress on protected load |
| IPPM | 2.2 A - peak current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform; validates surge handling per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| PPPM | 400 W - standardized surge power rating; enables direct comparison with competing TVS devices |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - allows operation in high-ambient environments without derating penalties up to TL = 75 °C |
| RθJL | 66 °C/W - low junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports sustained power dissipation in PCB-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix), commercial grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping node / high-voltage input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 110 V DC rail); avalanche conduction begins here above VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Surface-mount SMB package; same VBR (124–137 V), lower PPPM (600 W), higher IPPM (4.3 A) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better suited for space-constrained consumer electronics | Select when board real estate is limited and automated assembly is preferred over through-hole insertion |
| 1.5KE130A | Same DO-41 package; higher PPPM (1500 W), higher IPPM (10.3 A), wider VBR tolerance (±10%) | Overqualified for 400 W use cases; introduces unnecessary cost and larger VC (219 V) | Choose only if legacy 1.5KE footprint must be retained and surge severity exceeds 400 W requirements |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, P4KE130A-E3/54 delivers optimal balance of proven through-hole reliability, precise 5% VBR tolerance, and validated 400 W surge capacity - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial and automotive modules where DO-41 mechanical robustness is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4KE130A-E3/54 under maximum rated surge conditions?
The P4KE130A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 2.2 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay Document 88365 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 400 W transient event. The P4KE130A-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P4KE130A-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the P4KE130A-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified when ordered with the HE3 suffix (e.g., P4KE130AHE3/54). While the E3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade, the HE3 variant meets rigorous automotive stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and surge endurance. For automotive designs, specify P4KE130AHE3/54 to ensure full qualification; the P4KE130A-E3/54 itself is not AEC-Q101 certified.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for P4KE130A-E3/54 placement?
The P4KE130A-E3/54 has a maximum working voltage (VWM) of 111 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state below this DC or RMS voltage level. This parameter dictates minimum system voltage margin: it must be placed on lines where normal operating voltage stays ≤111 V to avoid excessive leakage (>1.0 µA) or premature conduction. In a 100 V DC rail, the P4KE130A-E3/54 provides 11 V headroom before clamping initiates.
How does the DO-41 package of P4KE130A-E3/54 affect thermal performance?
The DO-41 package of the P4KE130A-E3/54 delivers a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 66 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsinked leads. With a 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation rating at TL = 75 °C, the P4KE130A-E3/54 relies on adequate lead length (≥10 mm) and copper pour for thermal management. Its axial form factor supports manual or wave-solder assembly without thermal stress concerns.
Can P4KE130A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the P4KE130A-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. Bidirectional operation requires the CA-suffixed variant (e.g., P4KE130CA). Using the P4KE130A-E3/54 in AC or bipolar signal paths would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles, causing failure. Always verify polarity: cathode connects to the protected line, anode to ground for proper unidirectional clamping.
