Product details
Overview
P4KE130CA-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 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 124 V / 137 V), 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 179 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE130CA-E3/54 datasheet, P4KE130CA-E3/54 pinout, P4KE130CA-E3/54 application, or P4KE130CA-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, DO-41 leaded package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping voltage (VC = 179 V at IPPM), and 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation - all critical for robust overvoltage protection in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping avalanche diode with symmetrical bidirectional conduction, enabling transient suppression on AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The P4KE130CA-E3/54 delivers consistent clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle, with minimal incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns). Its 179 V clamping voltage at 179 A IPPM provides defined overvoltage limiting for downstream ICs such as microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1.0 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation range for bidirectional clamping |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 179 A - clamped voltage during 400 W transient, limiting stress on protected circuitry |
| IPPM | 179 A (10/1000 µs) - peak surge current handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| PPPM | 400 W - transient energy absorption capability without failure under specified pulse conditions |
| TJ max | +175 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, guiding heatsinking and layout decisions |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | Surface-mount SMB package (vs. axial DO-41); same VBR range and PPPM, but lower IPPM (135 A) and higher VC (219 V) | Better suited for high-density PCBs where through-hole mounting is impractical | Select SMBJ130CA when automated SMT assembly and space constraints outweigh leaded reliability advantages |
| 1.5KE130CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, higher IPPM (103 A), same VBR/VC specs | Used where higher single-pulse energy absorption is required, e.g., primary-side AC line protection | Choose 1.5KE130CA only if system-level testing confirms need for >400 W surge rating; otherwise P4KE130CA-E3/54 offers optimal cost/performance balance |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, the P4KE130CA-E3/54 delivers best-in-class clamping efficiency (VC/VBR = 1.37) in a rugged, serviceable through-hole package ideal for prototyping, repair, and high-reliability industrial designs where manual assembly or field replacement is required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for P4KE130CA-E3/54?
The P4KE130CA-E3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 124 V to 137 V at 1.0 mA test current, corresponding to ±5.4% tolerance around the nominal 130 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures predictable clamping onset and compatibility with system-level overvoltage thresholds defined in standards like ISO 16750-2.
Is P4KE130CA-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
The P4KE130CA-E3/54 itself is commercial-grade (E3 suffix); however, its automotive-qualified counterpart P4KE130CAHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 certified. For automotive use, specify the HE3 version - it shares identical electrical specs but includes extended reliability testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per automotive requirements.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4KE130CA-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The P4KE130CA-E3/54 clamps to a maximum of 179 V when subjected to its rated 179 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This VC value is measured at the instant of peak current and defines the upper voltage bound imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Does P4KE130CA-E3/54 have polarity markings on the package?
No, the P4KE130CA-E3/54 has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Both leads are functionally identical - the device clamps symmetrically in either direction once the breakdown voltage is exceeded, making orientation irrelevant during board assembly.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of P4KE130CA-E3/54?
The P4KE130CA-E3/54 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W. Its 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at 175 °C junction temperature - matching its maximum rated TJ and ensuring safe operation in sealed enclosures or high-temperature environments.
