Product details
Overview
P4KE82AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-41 package, designed for circuit-level ESD and surge protection. It features a 70.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 113 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps transients to ≤113 V under 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines of automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE82AHE3/54 datasheet, P4KE82AHE3/54 pinout, P4KE82AHE3/54 application, or P4KE82AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 400 W peak pulse power rating, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31), DO-41 mechanical compatibility, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature for under-hood reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp: reverse-biased during normal operation with <1.0 μA leakage at 70.1 V, then rapidly avalanches when transient voltage exceeds 77.9 V (min VBR). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low dynamic impedance (<1.0 Ω incremental surge resistance).
It is rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2, and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Thermal resistance is 66 °C/W junction-to-lead, enabling direct PCB trace heat sinking without external heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation range; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤113 V at 113 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; determines safe margin for 75 V-rated components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W (10/1000 μs) - Sustains high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a; enables single-device protection without parallel staging. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 μA at VWM - Negligible standby power loss and no signal integrity impact on high-impedance sensor bias networks. |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Supports placement near hot components (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC/DC inductors) in automotive and industrial enclosures. |
| RθJL | 66 °C/W - Enables thermal design using PCB copper area as heatsink; 10 mm lead length assumed per JEDEC standards. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band on body. Leads conform to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability; RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional configuration; carries surge current to reference plane. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 72 V battery rail); avalanche conduction begins here when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood use including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per stress test plan. |
| Glass passivated junction | Eliminates surface contamination sensitivity and ensures long-term VBR stability across 15+ year service life. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Level IV and IEC 61000-4-5 Line-to-Line (2 Ω source) surge immunity requirements. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream 80 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers in 72 V systems. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Prevents flame propagation in enclosed control modules during fault-induced thermal runaway events. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial 48–75 V DC Power Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller I/O against load dump and alternator ripple in BCMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between LIN line and chassis ground to clamp negative transients and suppress positive spikes up to 113 V.

Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V auxiliary supply derived from high-voltage battery in OBC units during HV contactor switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamp on isolated 12 V output rail, referenced to secondary ground to avoid ground loop coupling. Use Value: Maintains <1 μA leakage at 70.1 V stand-off, eliminating quiescent current drain critical for vehicle "ready" state compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | DO-214AA package; 75 V VWM; 83.3–92.1 V VBR; 100 A IPPM; 100 W PPPM | Lower power rating and smaller footprint; suited for space-constrained consumer electronics, not automotive under-hood | Select SMBJ75A only if system surge energy ≤100 W and board space prohibits DO-41; not AEC-Q101 qualified. |
| 1.5KE82A | Same DO-41 package; identical VWM/VBR/VC specs; 1.5 kW PPPM (10/1000 μs); higher IPPM (131 A) | Higher surge capacity for MIL-STD-1275E or ISO 16750-2 severe load dump; larger thermal mass required | Choose 1.5KE82A when protecting against >400 W transients (e.g., heavy-duty truck systems); requires enhanced PCB copper for thermal management. |
Compared with SMBJ75A, P4KE82AHE3/54 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and higher thermal robustness for automotive use; compared with 1.5KE82A, it trades peak power for tighter thermal envelope and lower cost - ideal for validated 400 W surge environments like passenger vehicle BCMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4KE82AHE3/54 under standard test conditions?
The P4KE82AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 113 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a worst-case transient event. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is integral to ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the P4KE82AHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4KE82AHE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and the HE3 suffix designation. It meets automotive-grade requirements for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and long-term reliability under harsh conditions - including operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. Its 70.1 V stand-off and 113 V clamping make it appropriate for 72 V battery systems found in modern BCMs, ADAS domains, and EV auxiliary supplies.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix in P4KE82AHE3/54 indicate?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "54" specifies the preferred package code for 13-inch paper tape and reel packaging containing 5500 units. This ordering format ensures traceability, automotive-grade material compliance, and automated assembly readiness - distinguishing it from commercial-grade E3 variants.
How does the P4KE82AHE3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P4KE82CA?
The P4KE82AHE3/54 is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement, whereas P4KE82CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetrical clamping in both directions. The unidirectional P4KE82AHE3/54 provides lower leakage (<1.0 μA) and better performance on DC rails referenced to ground, while P4KE82CA suits AC-coupled or floating signal lines. They are not interchangeable without circuit review.
Can the P4KE82AHE3/54 be used in parallel for higher surge handling?
No - the P4KE82AHE3/54 is not characterized or recommended for parallel operation due to mismatch in VBR tolerance (±5% typical) and thermal coupling effects, which cause current imbalance and premature failure of one device. For higher surge capability, select a single higher-rated device such as 1.5KE82A or implement staged protection with upstream MOVs and downstream TVS, rather than paralleling P4KE82AHE3/54 units.
