Product details
Overview
P6KE130AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for primary-side overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 124–137 V), 111 V standoff voltage (VWM), 179 V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130AHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE130AHE3/54 pinout, P6KE130AHE3/54 application, or P6KE130AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 3.4 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) for lead-mounted thermal management.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below VWM = 111 V, then avalanches sharply at VBR = 124–137 V to divert transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), while fast response time (<1 ns) enables suppression of ESD and lightning-induced spikes before downstream components are stressed.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), supports 5.0 W steady-state dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and maintains operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range - critical for under-hood automotive environments where thermal derating must be applied above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V - defines reliable avalanche initiation window; ensures consistent clamping onset across production lot and temperature |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; sets safe margin below breakdown for system-level DC bias stability |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 3.4 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient; determines worst-case stress on protected IC or MOSFET drain |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 0.01 % duty cycle; validates capability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a automotive transients |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct PCB trace thermal design without heatsink for moderate-duty cycles |
| TJ max | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports AEC-Q101 qualification and sustained operation in engine compartment applications |
| IFSM | 100 A - 8.3 ms single half-sine surge rating; confirms robustness against load dump events when placed upstream of regulators |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Clamping |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed control module exposed to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach LDOs and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits peak rail voltage to ≤179 V during 3.4 A surges, preventing permanent damage to 36 V-rated input stages in automotive MCUs. |
Use Scenario: Analog output line (e.g., 4–20 mA loop) connected to field-mounted pressure sensor in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS mounted at connector interface to suppress ESD and induced surges from nearby motor switching. Use Value: Clamps transients within <1 ns while adding <1 pF capacitance, preserving signal integrity and avoiding false triggering in precision ADC front-ends. |
| Consumer Power Adapter Input Stage | Telecom DC Feeder Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side 12 V output of AC/DC adapter subjected to conducted surges from shared building wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on regulated output rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and secondary-side OVP circuitry. Use Value: Absorbs up to 600 W pulses without degradation, enabling cost-effective protection without active crowbar circuits or redundant regulators. |
Use Scenario: -48 V DC feeder line powering remote radio units in cellular base stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant family member (P6KE130CA) used in telecom-grade designs; this unidirectional version applies where polarity is fixed and ground-referenced clamping suffices. Use Value: Provides 179 V clamping ceiling on negative-going transients while maintaining <1 µA leakage at nominal -48 V, minimizing standby power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | DO-214AA package; lower RθJA (50 °C/W vs. 75 °C/W), same VBR/VC specs but 600 W rating at 1.0 mm PCB copper area | Better suited for surface-mount layouts with limited board space; requires rework of footprint and thermal relief patterns | Select SMBJ130A when automated SMT assembly and tighter thermal constraints outweigh through-hole reliability preferences |
| 1.5KE130A | Higher 1500 W peak power rating; larger DO-201AD package; identical VBR, VWM, VC, and AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3) | Used where higher surge margin is required (e.g., heavy-duty truck load dump), but adds 3× volume and weight | Choose 1.5KE130A only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W headroom; otherwise P6KE130AHE3/54 offers optimal size/power balance |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, P6KE130AHE3/54 delivers AEC-Q101-qualified 600 W transient suppression in the smallest axial DO-15 form factor - ideal for legacy through-hole designs, service replacement, and cost-sensitive automotive modules where board real estate and manual assembly remain constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6KE130AHE3/54 under maximum rated surge current?
The P6KE130AHE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.4 A with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88369 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The P6KE130AHE3/54 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance and fast sub-nanosecond response.
Is the P6KE130AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE130AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HE3 suffix in its part number and explicitly stated in Vishay's datasheet revision 27-Sep-2021 (document 88369). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications. The P6KE130AHE3/54 operates reliably from –55 °C to +175 °C and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in P6KE130AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "54" specifies the preferred package code for 13-inch paper tape and reel packaging containing 4000 units. This ordering format aligns with Vishay's standardized nomenclature where HE3 distinguishes automotive-grade versions from commercial-only E3 variants, and /54 identifies the reel configuration - essential for procurement accuracy and automated assembly line setup. The P6KE130AHE3/54 thus guarantees both performance compliance and logistics compatibility.
How does the P6KE130AHE3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P6KE130CA?
The P6KE130AHE3/54 is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias above VBR and blocks forward current beyond ~3.5 V, whereas P6KE130CA provides symmetrical clamping in both directions. This makes the P6KE130AHE3/54 appropriate for DC rails with defined polarity (e.g., +12 V to ground), offering tighter VWM margin and lower leakage. In contrast, P6KE130CA suits AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Both share identical VBR, VC, and power ratings, but the P6KE130AHE3/54's unidirectional nature simplifies grounding strategy and improves noise immunity in single-polarity systems.
What is the thermal resistance profile of the P6KE130AHE3/54, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The P6KE130AHE3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 75 °C/W - indicating efficient heat transfer through its axial leads but sensitivity to ambient conditions. For reliable operation at full 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area on both leads (≥100 mm² per lead recommended) and avoid thermal isolation. The P6KE130AHE3/54's DO-15 package relies on lead conduction rather than pad convection, so trace width, length, and via placement directly impact thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
