Product details
Overview
P6KE110AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 152 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.9 A peak pulse current, and 94.0 V stand-off voltage with ≤1.0 μA reverse leakage.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE110AHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE110AHE3/54 pinout, P6KE110AHE3/54 application, or P6KE110AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ at 94 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 105–116 V breakdown range (tested at 1 mA). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and fast response (<1 ns).
Designed for single-pulse surge suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 (10/1000 μs waveform), it supports repetitive duty cycles up to 0.01 % and withstands 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Junction temperature range is –55 °C to +175 °C, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | Surface-mount SMB package; same VWM (94 V), slightly lower VC (151 V), identical PPPM (600 W) | Requires PCB redesign for SMD layout; better high-frequency performance due to lower parasitic inductance | Select when space-constrained designs or automated assembly demand SMD packaging |
| P6KE110A-E3/54 | Same DO-15 package and electrical specs, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for consumer/industrial applications where extended temperature cycling is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification needs and RoHS compliance suffices |
Compared with P6KE110AHE3/54, SMBJ110A offers superior high-frequency surge response but mandates layout change, while P6KE110A-E3/54 provides identical form-factor protection at lower qualification level-enabling trade-offs between reliability assurance, assembly method, and application environment.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE110AHE3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE110AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.9 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the worst-case overvoltage imposed on protected circuitry during a full-power transient event. The clamping voltage remains stable across temperature due to the device's low temperature coefficient of 0.107 %/°C.
Is the P6KE110AHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE110AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction-including glass-passivated junction, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and operation from –55 °C to +175 °C-meets stringent automotive reliability requirements. It is commonly deployed in engine control units, body control modules, and infotainment power supplies where load dump and jump-start transients occur.
How does the P6KE110AHE3/54 differ from the P6KE110A-E3/54?
The P6KE110AHE3/54 and P6KE110A-E3/54 share identical electrical specifications and DO-15 packaging, but differ in qualification level: P6KE110AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, whereas P6KE110A-E3/54 is commercial-grade with Class 1A whisker resistance. This makes P6KE110AHE3/54 mandatory for automotive applications and preferred for high-reliability industrial deployments.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead for the P6KE110AHE3/54?
The P6KE110AHE3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. This parameter enables thermal design using the device's axial leads as a primary heat path-critical for sustained power dissipation in confined spaces. When mounted with ≥9.5 mm lead length, it supports continuous power dissipation up to 5.0 W at 75 °C lead temperature, per Fig. 5 in the datasheet.
Can the P6KE110AHE3/54 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the P6KE110AHE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the CA-suffix variant (e.g., P6KE110CA). Using P6KE110AHE3/54 in a bidirectional configuration would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially damaging the device or failing to clamp. Always match polarity suffix (A = unidirectional, CA = bidirectional) to system requirements.
