Product details
Overview
P4KE130CAHE3/54 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 to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE130CAHE3/54 datasheet, P4KE130CAHE3/54 pinout, P4KE130CAHE3/54 application, or P4KE130CAHE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping voltage (VC = 179 V at IPPM), thermal resistance (RθJL = 66 °C/W), and DO-41 mechanical dimensions - all critical for surge protection layout and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities with no polarity marking, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without orientation constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the 10/1000 µs surge rating reflects real-world lightning and inductive-switching transient immunity.
The device is rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, with thermal resistance from junction-to-lead at 66 °C/W - confirming suitability for lead-soldered PCB mounting without heatsinking in moderate-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines reliable conduction onset under reverse/forward surge conditions |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA, sets safe operating margin below clamping |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 179 A (10/1000 µs) - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case transient |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak surge power handling capability, validated per R.E.A. 10/1000 µs standard |
| IPPM | 179 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely clamps without failure |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJL | 66 °C/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from junction to solder lead, informs board-level thermal design |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (unmarked ends) | Bidirectional terminal pair | No polarity marking required; symmetrical conduction allows installation in either orientation across protected line |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current path terminals | Leads serve as both electrical interface and primary heat dissipation path; RθJL = 66 °C/W confirms thermal reliance on lead conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and surge endurance |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low leakage (<1.0 µA) over lifetime and temperature |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Matches IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity requirements for industrial port protection |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving protection margin for downstream ICs |
| RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, ensuring long-term solder joint integrity in vibration-prone environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | Surface-mount SMB package (vs. axial DO-41); same VBR range but lower IPPM (102 A) and PPPM (600 W derated) | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; better suited for space-constrained designs with automated placement | Select when board area is limited and thermal management via copper pour is feasible |
| 1.5KE130CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, higher VC (219 V), same VBR range | Used where higher energy transients occur (e.g., mains-connected equipment), less suitable for compact automotive modules | Choose for legacy designs requiring higher surge margin or where DO-201 footprint is already allocated |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, the P4KE130CAHE3/54 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-41 through-hole robustness, and precise 179 V clamping - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-reliability automotive and industrial control boards where manual or wave-solder assembly is used.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4KE130CAHE3/54 under maximum surge conditions?
The P4KE130CAHE3/54 clamps to 179 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 179 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88365 and represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a worst-case transient event. The P4KE130CAHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the P4KE130CAHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4KE130CAHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified (as confirmed by the HE3 suffix and Note (1) on page 3 of Vishay document 88365), making it suitable for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and infotainment systems. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature, robust DO-41 construction, and validated surge endurance meet stringent automotive reliability requirements - unlike commercial-grade variants such as P4KE130CA-E3/54.
How does the bidirectional configuration of the P4KE130CAHE3/54 affect its installation?
The P4KE130CAHE3/54 has no polarity marking and conducts identically in both directions, so it can be installed in either orientation across a protected line - eliminating orientation errors during assembly. This symmetry simplifies design for AC-coupled circuits, differential buses, or any application where voltage polarity reversal may occur, unlike unidirectional TVS diodes that require strict cathode/anode alignment.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the P4KE130CAHE3/54?
The P4KE130CAHE3/54 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.5 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table. In typical PCB mounting, derating applies above 25 °C ambient per Figure 5; at 70 °C ambient, usable PD drops to approximately 0.75 W - sufficient only for leakage-level standby dissipation, not continuous conduction.
Does the P4KE130CAHE3/54 meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the HE3 suffix indicates the P4KE130CAHE3/54 is RoHS-compliant and qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance. It supports lead-free soldering up to 275 °C for 10 seconds (per JESD 22-B106), and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards - ensuring reliable assembly in modern eco-conscious manufacturing lines.
