Product details
Overview
P6KE130CA-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 124 V / 137 V), 179 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130CA-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE130CA-E3/54 pinout, P6KE130CA-E3/54 application, or P6KE130CA-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, 175 °C max junction temperature, low leakage (<1 μA at 111 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped surge protector with symmetrical avalanche behavior in both directions, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and fast response time (<1 ns), while the 20 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable power dissipation under repetitive transient conditions.
The P6KE130CA-E3/54 complies with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 for ESD, EFT, and surge immunity when properly implemented with PCB layout considerations. It exhibits a +0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, indicating predictable voltage drift over temperature - critical for maintaining clamping margin across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Key Specifications

Use Value: Symmetrical VBR ensures equal clamping for both polarities, preventing asymmetrical stress on MOSFETs during rapid direction changes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | DO-214AA package, lower 1.5 kW peak power, tighter VBR tolerance (5%), higher IPPM (12.3 A) | Surface-mount alternative requiring PCB redesign; better suited for space-constrained designs with higher surge duty cycles | Select SMBJ130CA when board space is limited and SMT assembly is preferred over through-hole. |
| 1.5KE130CA | Higher 1500 W peak power, same DO-15 package, wider VBR tolerance (10%), higher clamping voltage (192 V) | Used where higher surge energy must be absorbed without failure, but with reduced clamping precision | Choose 1.5KE130CA when protecting legacy 130 V-rated systems needing greater single-event energy margin. |
Compared with P6KE130CA-E3/54, SMBJ130CA offers superior surge density in SMT format but requires layout change, while 1.5KE130CA delivers higher energy handling in identical DO-15 footprint at the cost of looser voltage control and higher clamping.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6KE130CA-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6KE130CA-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured under defined test conditions and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during a surge event. The P6KE130CA-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is P6KE130CA-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6KE130CA-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including engine control, body electronics, and infotainment systems. Its DO-15 package, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and bidirectional clamping make it appropriate for under-hood and chassis-mounted applications subject to wide thermal and electrical stress. The P6KE130CA-E3/54 meets requirements for ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance when applied per Vishay's recommended layout guidelines.
How does the bidirectional design of P6KE130CA-E3/54 affect its circuit implementation?
The bidirectional design of P6KE130CA-E3/54 eliminates polarity sensitivity - both terminals are functionally identical, allowing placement across AC-coupled lines, transformer secondaries, or floating differential pairs without orientation checks. This simplifies inventory management and reduces assembly errors compared to unidirectional TVS diodes. The P6KE130CA-E3/54 achieves symmetrical clamping with matched VBR and VC in both directions, ensuring consistent protection regardless of transient polarity.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of P6KE130CA-E3/54?
The P6KE130CA-E3/54 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 5.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C. This rating applies to continuous DC or low-frequency reverse-biased operation - not transient suppression. In normal use, the P6KE130CA-E3/54 remains near zero power until a transient triggers avalanche conduction; sustained dissipation above PD risks thermal runaway and permanent failure.
Does P6KE130CA-E3/54 have a specified junction capacitance value?
No, junction capacitance (CJ) is not specified for P6KE130CA-E3/54 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88369). Capacitance data is provided only for unidirectional P6KE devices up to P6KE220A in Figure 4; bidirectional variants like P6KE130CA-E3/54 omit this parameter due to measurement complexity and typical application focus on high-voltage, low-frequency surge suppression rather than RF signal integrity. For capacitance-sensitive designs, consult Vishay's SMBJ or SMCJ series alternatives.
