Product details
Overview
P4KE75H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75V nominal breakdown voltage (67.5–82.5V at 1mA), 60.7V working stand-off voltage, 108V maximum clamping voltage at 3.8A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE75H datasheet, P4KE75H pinout, P4KE75H application, or P4KE75H equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy ESD and lightning surge suppression where low clamping ratio, fast sub-nanosecond response (<1.0ps), and stable temperature coefficient (0.105%/°C) are critical to protect downstream ICs in automotive body control modules, industrial PLC I/O ports, and LED driver input stages.
Technical Context
The P4KE75H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package and cathode-band polarity marking. Its clamping action begins at VBR (min 67.5V), sustains 400W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs waveform, and maintains <1μA reverse leakage above 60.7V.
It exhibits a junction temperature range of –55°C to +175°C, supports 40A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3ms half-sine), and delivers a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of ≤1.60 - confirmed by test data showing VC = 108V at IPPM = 3.8A and VBR = 67.5V min.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 75 V - defines rated standoff margin before avalanche conduction begins |
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 67.5–82.5 V @ 1 mA - verified conduction threshold under standardized test current |
| Working Stand-off Voltage VWM | 60.7 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage without significant leakage |
| Maximum Clamping Voltage VC | 108 V @ 3.8 A - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000μs surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPK | 400 W - energy-handling capability per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 10/1000μs waveform |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +175°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Reverse Leakage ID | <1 μA @ 60.7 V - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AL (DO-41), axial leaded, epoxy-molded case meeting UL 94V-0 flammability rating; cathode indicated by band-marked end; pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ75A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 75V VBR (67.5–82.5V), 100V VC @ 4.3A; 400W rating; no AEC-Q101 listing | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs using surface-mount layout; lacks automotive qualification | Select when board real estate limits axial components and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| Vishay 1.5KE75A | Same DO-201AD package; identical 75V VBR range and 108V VC; 1500W rating (higher energy capacity); AEC-Q101 available only in "H" suffix variants | Suitable for higher-energy threats (e.g., indirect lightning); larger footprint and higher cost | Choose when surge threat level exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board area permits larger case. |
Compared with SMAJ75A and 1.5KE75A, the P4KE75H offers AEC-Q101 qualification in the compact DO-41 axial form factor - making it optimal for automotive and industrial designs requiring proven reliability, legacy through-hole compatibility, and strict thermal derating control at 175°C junction temperature.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4KE75H at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4KE75H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 108 V at 3.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value ensures downstream components see no more than 108 V during surge events, directly supporting design margin calculations for 75 V-rated circuits. The P4KE75H maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is P4KE75H unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity marked?
The P4KE75H is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC line protection where reverse voltage is blocked. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-41 package - the banded end connects to the protected line (cathode), while the unbanded end connects to ground (anode). Bidirectional variants use "CA" suffixes (e.g., P4KE75CA), which P4KE75H does not have.
Does P4KE75H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the "H" suffix in P4KE75H explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification - verified per stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD (HBM/MM). This makes P4KE75H suitable for automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is mandatory.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for P4KE75H?
The P4KE75H has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 1 W at lead temperature TL = 75°C, measured with 9.5 mm (0.375") lead lengths mounted on 5 × 5 mm copper pads. This value governs continuous power handling during abnormal overvoltage conditions - not surge events - and must be thermally managed via PCB copper area or heatsinking to avoid exceeding TJ(max) = 175°C.
How does P4KE75H compare to P4KE75A in terms of electrical parameters?
The P4KE75H and P4KE75A share identical electrical specifications - both have VBR = 67.5–82.5 V, VWM = 60.7 V, VC = 108 V, and PPK = 400 W - but differ in qualification: P4KE75H is AEC-Q101 qualified, while P4KE75A is not. The "H" suffix adds automotive-grade screening and traceability without altering baseline TVS performance. Both use DO-204AL packaging and cathode-band marking.
