Product details
Overview
P6KE130A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 124–137 V), 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 179 V clamping voltage at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power supply inputs, industrial sensor interfaces, and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130A-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE130A-E3/54 pinout, P6KE130A-E3/54 application, or P6KE130A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-15 package compatibility, clamping performance under 3.4 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when transient voltage exceeds VWM (111 V), it avalanches into low-impedance conduction to divert surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and fast response (<1 ns), while the unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path only during reverse overvoltage events.
Designed for 10/1000 µs surge waveforms at 0.01% duty cycle, it sustains 600 W peak pulse power and handles up to 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM). Thermal design relies on lead-to-ambient dissipation (RθJA = 75 °C/W) and lead-to-junction transfer (RθJL = 20 °C/W), with maximum junction temperature rated at +175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V - defines guaranteed avalanche onset range at 1.0 mA test current; sets minimum overvoltage threshold before clamping activation |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must exceed normal circuit DC rail (e.g., 96 V nominal 12 V automotive system) |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 3.4 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected load |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients |
| IFSM | 100 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge current rating; supports protection against load dump events in vehicle electrical systems |
| TJ max | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to lead; informs PCB copper pour requirements for heat extraction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130A | Same VBR range (124–137 V), but SMA package (surface-mount); lower IPPM (3.1 A) and PPPM (400 W) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs or high-power derating scenarios | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W |
| 1.5KE130A | Same DO-15 package and VBR, but higher PPPM (1500 W); larger physical size (DO-201AD) and higher VC (219 V) | Provides higher surge margin but increases clamping voltage stress on protected ICs | Select when system-level testing requires >600 W pulse handling and layout allows larger footprint |
Compared with SMAJ130A and 1.5KE130A, P6KE130A-E3/54 delivers optimal balance of through-hole manufacturability, 600 W surge capacity, and 179 V clamping - making it ideal for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial power rail protection where DO-15 mounting and AEC-Q101 compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of P6KE130A-E3/54?
P6KE130A-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode: its cathode is marked with a color band and must be connected to the protected line, while the anode connects to ground. This configuration blocks forward current during normal operation and avalanches only during reverse overvoltage events - unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., P6KE130CA) which protect both polarities.
Does P6KE130A-E3/54 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, P6KE130A-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 27-Sep-2021 (Document Number: 88369). This qualification validates its reliability for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and infotainment power rails under temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress conditions.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE130A-E3/54 and at what current is it specified?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6KE130A-E3/54 is 179 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Can P6KE130A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional protection applications?
No - P6KE130A-E3/54 is strictly unidirectional. For bidirectional transient suppression (e.g., AC lines or differential data buses), Vishay offers the CA-suffix variant P6KE130CA. Using P6KE130A-E3/54 in bidirectional configurations risks forward conduction during positive transients and failure to clamp negative excursions.
What is the thermal resistance specification for P6KE130A-E3/54 and how does it impact PCB layout?
P6KE130A-E3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 75 °C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ 175 °C under 5.0 W continuous dissipation, PCB layout must provide adequate copper pour on both leads - especially the cathode - and avoid excessive trace length or narrow traces that increase thermal impedance.
