Product details
Overview
P6KE130CAHE3/54 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 (VC) 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 P6KE130CAHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE130CAHE3/54 pinout, P6KE130CAHE3/54 application, or P6KE130CAHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and verified 175 °C junction temperature rating under transient stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped surge protector: when reverse (or forward, in bidirectional mode) voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold, it enters avalanche conduction to limit transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping across repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, making it suitable for automotive-grade board-level ESD and load-dump protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise avalanche onset window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA, setting safe operating margin below VBR |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 3.4 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream component stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capacity, validated per Fig. 1 derating curve for single or repetitive surges |
| TJ max | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature rating, enabling use in under-hood automotive environments |

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, 130 V VBR, same 600 W rating but lower IPPM (3.2 A) and higher VC (219 V) | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for through-hole designs or high-temperature lead-solder processes | Select when board space is constrained and reflow assembly is used; verify thermal relief pad design for 175 °C operation |
| 1.5KE130CA | Same DO-15 package, 130 V VBR, but 1500 W rating (IPPM = 8.5 A, VC = 219 V), larger body (1.25" length) | Higher surge margin for infrequent but extreme transients (e.g., ISO 16750-2 jump-start); requires more PCB real estate | Choose for mission-critical automotive modules where single-event survivability outweighs size constraints |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, P6KE130CAHE3/54 delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, compact DO-15 footprint, and 179 V clamping - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial control boards requiring proven reliability and through-hole assembly compatibility.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the P6KE130CAHE3/54?
The P6KE130CAHE3/54 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 124 V to 137 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for repeatable system-level surge protection performance.
Is the P6KE130CAHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE130CAHE3/54 carries the HE3 suffix, confirming AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It is explicitly rated for automotive use in engine control units, body electronics, and lighting modules, with validated performance across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and compliance with load-dump and ESD immunity requirements.
How does the bidirectional design of P6KE130CAHE3/54 affect circuit layout?
The bidirectional design of P6KE130CAHE3/54 eliminates polarity sensitivity - no cathode band marking is present, and electrical characteristics (VBR, VC, IPPM) are identical in both directions. This allows placement across any two nodes without orientation checks, simplifying PCB routing and reducing assembly errors in differential or AC-coupled protection schemes.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE130CAHE3/54 during a surge event?
The P6KE130CAHE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 179 V at its rated peak pulse current of 3.4 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed per datasheet Figure 1 and represents worst-case voltage seen by protected circuitry during standardized surge testing - essential for verifying margin against downstream component absolute maximum ratings.
Does P6KE130CAHE3/54 require heatsinking in typical applications?
No dedicated heatsink is required for P6KE130CAHE3/54 in standard surge protection applications, as its RθJL = 20 °C/W enables sufficient heat dissipation through PCB copper and lead termination. However, for repetitive surge conditions exceeding 0.01 % duty cycle or ambient temperatures above 75 °C, thermal relief pads and increased copper area are recommended to maintain junction temperature ≤175 °C.
