Product details
Overview
P4KE62C-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 62 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 58.9–65.1 V at 1.0 mA), 53.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 85.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE62C-E3/54 datasheet, P4KE62C-E3/54 pinout, P4KE62C-E3/54 application, or P4KE62C-E3/54 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, AEC-Q101-qualified transient protection solution for automotive sensor interfaces, industrial I/O lines, telecom line cards, and DC power rail surge suppression where bidirectional clamping and fast response (<1 ns) are required.
Technical Context
The P4KE62C-E3/54 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, delivering symmetrical clamping in both polarities due to its bidirectional construction. Its 10/1000 μs waveform rating supports repetitive surge events at 0.01% duty cycle, and it maintains stable performance across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
With 1.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 53.0 V and 0.104 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, the device ensures low standby power loss and predictable voltage drift under thermal stress - critical for precision analog front-ends and automotive ECUs exposed to wide ambient swings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 58.9 V / 65.1 V at 1.0 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation window for consistent clamping onset |
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 4.7 A - clamped voltage during 400 W transient, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak surge energy handling capability with standard 10/1000 μs waveform |
| IPPM | 4.7 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely conducts without failure |
| TJ max | +175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| Package | DO-41 (DO-204AL) - axial-leaded through-hole package compatible with legacy PCB assembly and manual repair |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads; no polarity marking for bidirectional configuration - terminals are functionally symmetric.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Either lead serves as input/output terminal; bidirectional clamping occurs regardless of voltage polarity applied |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Thermal and electrical interface | Leads conduct surge current and dissipate heat; RθJL = 66 °C/W enables effective junction-to-lead thermal transfer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability and stable VBR under humidity and thermal cycling per JESD22-A101 |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges without degradation |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected ICs compared to higher-ratio suppressors |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Meets flammability safety requirements for enclosed industrial and automotive systems |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64CA | Surface-mount SMB package; 64 V VBR; 600 W PPPM; lower VC (104 V @ 5.8 A) | Better suited for high-density PCBs with automated SMT assembly; not axial-leaded | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is required over through-hole serviceability. |
| 1.5KE62CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W); same DO-41 package; VBR 58.9–65.1 V; VC 100 V @ 15 A | Designed for heavier-duty surge environments (e.g., AC mains input, motor drives) | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and 400 W is insufficient. |
Compared with SMBJ64CA and 1.5KE62CA, the P4KE62C-E3/54 offers optimal balance of axial-leaded serviceability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 400 W surge capacity for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial control applications - neither over-specified nor under-rated for typical 12–24 V system protection.

FAQ
What does the "C" suffix indicate in P4KE62C-E3/54?
The "C" in P4KE62C-E3/54 denotes bidirectional configuration - meaning the device clamps voltage transients equally in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4KE62A-E3/54), the P4KE62C-E3/54 has no cathode marking and functions identically regardless of terminal orientation. This makes P4KE62C-E3/54 ideal for AC-coupled or differential signal lines where polarity reversal may occur.
Is P4KE62C-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, P4KE62C-E3/54 carries the "E3" suffix, which certifies full RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU and meets Vishay's material categorization standard (Doc. 99912). The DO-41 package uses halogen-free molding compound and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4KE62C-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P4KE62C-E3/54 is 85.0 V at 4.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the highest voltage seen across the device during worst-case transient conduction - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can P4KE62C-E3/54 be used in place of P4KE62A-E3/54?
No - P4KE62C-E3/54 and P4KE62A-E3/54 are not interchangeable without circuit review. P4KE62A-E3/54 is unidirectional (cathode-marked, conducts only in reverse bias), while P4KE62C-E3/54 is bidirectional (no marking, clamps both polarities). Substituting one for the other may result in improper protection or forward conduction failure in DC-biased circuits.
What is the thermal resistance specification for P4KE62C-E3/54?
P4KE62C-E3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 66 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W with 10 mm lead length. These values enable effective heat dissipation during repetitive surge events and support reliable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature - verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing protocols.
