Product details
Overview
P4KE82-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-41 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 70.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and clamps to ≤113 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE82-E3/54 datasheet, P4KE82-E3/54 pinout, P4KE82-E3/54 application, or P4KE82-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified unidirectional polarity, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 66 °C/W), and clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device with glass-passivated junction and low incremental surge resistance. Its bidirectional counterpart uses "CA" suffix (e.g., P4KE82CA); P4KE82-E3/54 is strictly unidirectional, with cathode marked by color band and forward voltage of 3.5 V at 25 A.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) - validated for use in automotive-grade systems requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy housing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering during transient events without false clamping |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤113 V at IPPM = 3.5 A - limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 μs surges |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles repetitive inrush and fault currents in power rail protection |
| TJmax | 175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures |
| RθJL | 66 °C/W - defines thermal path efficiency from junction to lead, critical for PCB trace heat sinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | DO-214AA package, 80 V VWM, 400 W PPPM, lower RθJA (50 °C/W) but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs; lacks automotive qualification and higher thermal resistance to lead | Select SMBJ80A only for commercial-grade consumer or industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| P6KE82A | Same DO-41 package, identical VWM/VBR/VC, but rated for 600 W PPPM (10/1000 μs) and 5.0 V VF at 25 A | Higher surge capacity ideal for heavy-duty industrial power supplies; same footprint allows drop-in upgrade if layout permits higher power dissipation | Choose P6KE82A when system-level surge testing exceeds 400 W requirements or when legacy DO-41 footprint must be retained. |
Compared with SMBJ80A and P6KE82A, P4KE82-E3/54 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and DO-41 compatibility with verified 400 W clamping performance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial applications where qualification and form factor are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of P4KE82-E3/54?
P4KE82-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with cathode identified by a color band on the DO-41 package body. It conducts only in forward bias and clamps reverse transients - unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., P4KE82CA) which lack marking and conduct symmetrically. This polarity is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet section "Polarity" and electrical test conditions.
Is P4KE82-E3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P4KE82-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating RoHS-compliant commercial grade with AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay documentation. The "HE3" variant adds enhanced whisker resistance, but E3 itself satisfies AEC-Q101 stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, and surge endurance - making P4KE82-E3/54 suitable for automotive ECU and sensor module designs.
What is the clamping voltage of P4KE82-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of P4KE82-E3/54 is guaranteed ≤113 V at IPPM = 3.5 A, measured under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88365) and defines the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during surge events.
Can P4KE82-E3/54 replace P4KE82A in existing designs?
Yes - P4KE82-E3/54 is a direct replacement for P4KE82A, sharing identical electrical specifications, DO-41 package, and unidirectional functionality. The "-E3/54" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant packaging in 13″ paper tape and reel (5500 pcs), with no change to VWM, VBR, VC, or thermal characteristics. No PCB or schematic modification is needed for migration.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for P4KE82-E3/54?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJmax) for P4KE82-E3/54 is +175 °C, as stated in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table of the Vishay datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures, provided thermal design accounts for RθJL = 66 °C/W and ambient conditions.
