Product details
Overview
P6KE130-E3/73 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 = 124 V, max = 137 V), 111 V standoff 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. It is used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130-E3/73 datasheet, P6KE130-E3/73 pinout, P6KE130-E3/73 application, or P6KE130-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) package, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, 1.0 mA test current (IT) for VBR, 1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at VWM, and AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility via HE3 suffix variants.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ at VWM), but avalanches rapidly when transient voltage exceeds VBR, clamping the line to ≤179 V at 3.4 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance.
It is rated for non-repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 600 W, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2, and supports 100 A single half-sine surge (8.3 ms) in unidirectional configuration. The device's 0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR enables predictable performance across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1.0 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold under standard test conditions |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 3.4 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capability, defining surge robustness in short-duration events |
| IDR @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and no interference with high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +175 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports operation in high-ambient industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - low junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables effective heat dissipation through PCB copper pours or lead frames |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode identified by color band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or return path; completes conduction path during transient clamp event |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Marked with color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or signal input); avalanche initiates here |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures stable, repeatable breakdown voltage and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Provides robust protection against common industrial switching transients and load dump events |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available (HE3 suffix) | Validated for automotive electronics applications requiring stress-tested component reliability |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to downstream components during clamping action |
| RoHS-compliant, UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Meets environmental compliance and flammability safety requirements for commercial and industrial end equipment |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS (111 V) isolating sensitive RF amplifiers from power rail transients. Use Value: Ultra-low 1.0 µA leakage avoids DC bias shift; 175 °C TJ max supports compact, thermally constrained board layouts. |
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 | Same VBR range (124–137 V), but SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package; 600 W rating; lower RθJA (50 °C/W vs. 75 °C/W) | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; better suited for high-density automated production | Select SMBJ130A when space-constrained designs demand surface-mount integration and thermal management via copper area. |
| 1.5KE130A | Higher 1500 W peak power rating, same DO-204AC package; VBR 124–137 V; VC = 219 V @ 6.8 A; larger physical size and higher cost | Used where higher-energy transients (e.g., lightning-induced surges) exceed P6KE130-E3/73 capability | Choose 1.5KE130A only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W surge margin; otherwise P6KE130-E3/73 offers optimal cost-performance balance. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, P6KE130-E3/73 delivers verified 600 W protection in the lowest-cost axial-leaded form factor, with proven suitability for commercial-grade industrial and consumer applications where moderate surge energy suffices.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for P6KE130-E3/73?
The P6KE130-E3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 124 V to 137 V at 1.0 mA test current (IT). This ±5.4 % tolerance ensures consistent avalanche behavior across production lots while allowing design margin for worst-case clamping. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 18-Sep-12, page 2.
Is P6KE130-E3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
P6KE130-E3/73 itself is commercial-grade (E3 suffix), but the identical device with HE3 suffix (P6KE130AHE3/73) is AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, specify the HE3 version; the P6KE130-E3/73 remains appropriate for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What does the "-E3/73" suffix mean in P6KE130-E3/73?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade packaging with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance; "/73" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 73 units per reel segment (standard for DO-15 parts). This differs from "/54", which specifies 4000 units per 13-inch reel - confirming P6KE130-E3/73 is supplied in smaller, prototyping-friendly reels.
How does P6KE130-E3/73 compare to bi-directional TVS diodes like P6KE130CA?
P6KE130-E3/73 is unidirectional and includes a cathode band; P6KE130CA is bi-directional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions. Use P6KE130-E3/73 on DC lines referenced to ground; choose P6KE130CA only for AC-coupled or floating signal paths where reverse voltage may occur. Their VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings are otherwise identical.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P6KE130-E3/73?
The P6KE130-E3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175 °C and operates from -55 °C to +175 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) is 20 °C/W, meaning proper PCB copper land design can sustain full 600 W pulse capability even at elevated ambient temperatures - critical for enclosed industrial enclosures.
