Product details
Overview
P6KE130-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 124–137 V), 111 V standoff voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤179 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and delivers 600 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE130-E3/54 pinout, P6KE130-E3/54 application, or P6KE130-E3/54 equivalent, this device requires verification of unidirectional polarity marking (cathode band), thermal derating above 25 °C ambient, IFSM surge rating (100 A, 8.3 ms), and compatibility with DO-15 PCB footprints and J-STD-002 soldering profiles.
Technical Context
The P6KE130-E3/54 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling sub-nanosecond response to voltage transients. Its clamping behavior is defined by a maximum VC of 179 V at IPPM = 3.4 A (10/1000 µs), and it exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.107 %/°C on VBR, requiring thermal design consideration in high-temperature environments.
It supports unidirectional protection only (no CA suffix), with cathode identification via axial color band. The device is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +175 °C, has RθJA = 75 °C/W, and complies with AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 suffix - the E3/54 variant is commercial-grade RoHS-compliant per JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines guaranteed avalanche onset range under DC test conditions |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤179 V at IPPM = 3.4 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capability with 0.01 % duty cycle, critical for repetitive surge immunity |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - single-event surge current rating determining fuse coordination and layout robustness |
| TJ max | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature defining thermal margin for PCB copper area and airflow requirements |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, used to calculate temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial leaded, epoxy-molded case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.

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 (SMB), 600 W rating, VBR = 144–159 V, VC = 209 V @ 2.9 A | Higher clamping voltage and surface-mount form factor - suited for space-constrained PCBs but requires re-layout | Select SMBJ130A when board real estate is limited and SMT assembly is preferred; verify thermal pad area for 75 °C/W equivalent dissipation. |
| 1.5KE130A | DO-201AD package, same VBR/VC specs, 1500 W peak power, higher IPPM = 7.2 A | Higher surge capacity and larger through-hole footprint - better for high-energy industrial transients but less compact | Choose 1.5KE130A where legacy 1.5 kW surge immunity is mandated (e.g., DIN rail power supplies); confirm mechanical fit in DO-15 socket. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the P6KE130-E3/54 offers optimal balance of 600 W surge handling, DO-15 footprint compatibility, and cost-effective commercial qualification - making it ideal for mid-tier industrial controls and automotive body electronics where layout reuse and procurement simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P6KE130-E3/54?
The P6KE130-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with the cathode identified by a visible color band on the DO-15 body. It conducts only when the cathode is biased positively relative to the anode - making it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Unlike bi-directional variants (e.g., P6KE130CA), the P6KE130-E3/54 does not suppress symmetrical AC transients.
Does the P6KE130-E3/54 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No - the P6KE130-E3/54 is a commercial-grade part with RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. For AEC-Q101 qualification, the correct orderable part is P6KE130HE3/54 (HE3 suffix). The E3/54 variant lacks the extended temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock validation required for automotive under-hood use.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE130-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE130-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.4 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring protected ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can the P6KE130-E3/54 be used in bi-directional signal line protection?
No - the P6KE130-E3/54 is strictly unidirectional and must be installed with correct polarity (cathode toward the protected line). For bi-directional signal protection (e.g., USB, RS-232), a CA-suffixed variant like P6KE130CA is required. Using the P6KE130-E3/54 on AC-coupled or reversible signal paths risks forward conduction and failure during negative excursions.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for the P6KE130-E3/54?
The P6KE130-E3/54 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. In practice, this means each watt of sustained power dissipation raises the junction temperature by 75 °C above ambient. To maintain TJ ≤175 °C, PCB layout must include adequate copper pour on both anode and cathode pads, minimize trace length, and avoid thermal isolation - especially important when operating near its 5.0 W steady-state power limit.
