Product details
Overview
P6KE10AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 14.5 V maximum clamping voltage at 41.4 A peak pulse current, 9.5–10.5 V breakdown voltage at 1 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE10AHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE10AHE3/54 pinout, P6KE10AHE3/54 application, or P6KE10AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage vs. surge current, unidirectional polarity marking, DO-15 thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and compliance with UL 497B for telecom/sensor line protection.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1000 μA leakage at 8.55 V stand-off), then rapidly avalanches below 100 ns to clamp transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for single-pulse and low-duty-cycle repetitive surges (0.01 %), it sustains 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2 and Fig. 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W (10/1000 μs waveform); defines maximum transient energy absorption without failure |
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 9.5–10.5 V at 1 mA; ensures reliable turn-on before protected circuit reaches damage threshold |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 14.5 V at 41.4 A IPPM; limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 8.55 V; maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Leakage Current ID | 10 μA max at 8.55 V; negligible standby power loss in battery-powered systems |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +175 °C; supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes; validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 (DO-204AC) molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band on body end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or return path; completes shunt path during avalanche |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Marked with color band; connects to protected line; conducts when line exceeds VBR |
Key Features

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between power rail and ground to clamp surges before they reach MCU or CAN transceiver. Use Value: Clamps to 14.5 V at 41.4 A, preventing damage to 16 V-rated power management ICs while surviving AEC-Q101 stress tests. |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA current loop sensors in factory automation subject to ESD and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected TVS on sensor supply line to suppress fast-rising transients before reaching precision op-amps or ADC inputs. Use Value: Sub-100 ns response time and 8.55 V stand-off ensure signal integrity remains intact during 8 kV contact ESD events. |
| Consumer USB Port Protection | Telecom Line Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: USB 2.0 VBUS line in portable chargers and docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage guard against adapter fault conditions and hot-plug surges. Use Value: 600 W rating handles sustained 12 V overvoltage events; DO-15 footprint enables cost-effective board-level integration. |
Use Scenario: DSL or Ethernet PHY interface lines exposed to lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage protector on tip/ring lines before secondary GDT or polymer-based suppression. Use Value: UL 497B recognition and 14.5 V clamping enable compliance with telecom safety standards without additional certification burden. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | DO-214AA package; 600 W rating; 10.0–11.1 V VBR; 17.0 V VC at 35.3 A | Higher clamping voltage; lower surge current capability; surface-mount only | Select SMBJ10A when PCB space constraints require SMD and thermal coupling to copper is optimized. |
| 1.5KE10A | DO-201AD package; same 600 W rating; identical VBR and VC specs; higher RθJA (100 °C/W) | Larger footprint; lower power density; less suitable for high-temperature ambient | Choose 1.5KE10A only if legacy through-hole compatibility is required and thermal margin allows. |
Compared with P6KE10AHE3/54, SMBJ10A offers SMT assembly but sacrifices clamping performance, while 1.5KE10A matches electrical specs but reduces thermal efficiency-making P6KE10AHE3/54 optimal for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q101-compliant through-hole designs requiring best-in-class VC/VBR ratio.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P6KE10AHE3/54?
The P6KE10AHE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode: its cathode is marked by a color band on the DO-15 body, and it conducts only when the anode is at a lower potential than the cathode. This configuration makes it suitable for DC rail protection where reverse voltage is not expected, unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., P6KE10CA) used in AC or differential signal lines.
Does the P6KE10AHE3/54 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P6KE10AHE3/54 carries the HE3 suffix, which denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88369, Revision 27-Sep-2021). This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-validating its use in engine control modules, body control units, and other automotive subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE10AHE3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE10AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 41.4 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
How does the P6KE10AHE3/54 differ from the commercial-grade P6KE10A-E3/54?
The P6KE10AHE3/54 differs from P6KE10A-E3/54 solely in qualification level: HE3 indicates AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, whereas E3 denotes commercial grade with JESD 201 Class 1A. All electrical parameters-including VBR, VC, and PPPM-are identical between the two variants.
Can the P6KE10AHE3/54 be used in UL 497B-certified telecom equipment?
Yes, the P6KE10AHE3/54 is Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized under file number E136766 for both unidirectional and bidirectional devices per UL 497B, making it suitable for primary protection in telecom line cards, DSL modems, and PoE-powered devices without requiring additional system-level certification effort.
