Product details
Overview
P6KE200A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 190 V to 210 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 171 V standoff voltage (VWM), 274 V clamping voltage at 2.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive infotainment power inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200A-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE200A-E3/54 pinout, P6KE200A-E3/54 application, or P6KE200A-E3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-15 terminal mapping, clamping performance under surge conditions, thermal derating behavior, and AEC-Q101-compliant alternatives for automotive-grade transient suppression design.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM = 171 V, it avalanches into low-impedance conduction to divert surge energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and fast response (<1 ns), while the DO-15 package supports lead-free soldering per J-STD-002 and withstands 275 °C dip for 10 s.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient); power dissipation derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at 175 °C maximum junction temperature. The device fails short-circuit under catastrophic overload, enabling fuse or breaker coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 171 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V/48 V systems with transients. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 190–210 V - Breakdown voltage range at 1 mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM = 2.2 A | 274 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits stress on protected MOSFET gate or microcontroller I/O. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; sustains single or repetitive surges up to 0.01 % duty cycle without degradation. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates robustness against inductive kickback in relay drivers. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports thermal design using PCB copper pour or heatsinked leads for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200A | DO-214AA package; lower RθJA = 50 °C/W; same VWM/VC specs but 600 W rating at 1.0 ms pulse width. | Better suited for surface-mount layouts with limited board space; requires rework of footprint and thermal relief. | Select SMBJ200A when transitioning to SMT assembly or requiring tighter thermal coupling to PCB copper. |
| 1.5KE200A | Higher 1.5 kW peak power rating; larger DO-201AD package; identical VBR, VWM, and VC values but higher IPPM = 6.2 A. | Used where multi-pulse surge endurance or higher single-event energy absorption is required (e.g., utility meter front-end). | Choose 1.5KE200A for applications demanding >600 W headroom or legacy through-hole compatibility with larger lead spacing. |
Compared with P6KE200A-E3/54, SMBJ200A offers superior thermal performance in compact SMT form, while 1.5KE200A provides higher surge energy capacity in a physically larger axial package - both retain identical clamping behavior but differ in mounting, layout, and power envelope trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE200A-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE200A-E3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 2.2 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that protected circuitry remains below critical voltage thresholds during transient events. The clamping performance is validated across temperature and production lots, and appears in Table 1 of Vishay Document 88369.
Is P6KE200A-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE200A-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified (as confirmed by the HE3 suffix variant and note in the Vishay datasheet), making it suitable for automotive use. While the E3/54 variant is commercial grade, its construction - glass-passivated junction, 175 °C TJ max, and robust surge ratings - aligns with automotive environmental stresses. For full qualification, the P6KE200AHE3/54 variant should be specified.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix indicate in P6KE200A-E3/54?
The "-E3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte tin plating meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, and "/54" specifies the preferred package code for 13-inch paper tape and reel packaging with 4000 units per reel. This ordering code ensures consistent lead finish, solderability, and automated placement compatibility - critical for high-volume manufacturing of P6KE200A-E3/54 assemblies.
How does P6KE200A-E3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P6KE200CA?
The P6KE200A-E3/54 is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection with polarity-sensitive placement, whereas P6KE200CA is bidirectional and used in AC or floating signal paths. They share identical VBR (190–210 V), VC (274 V), and PPPM (600 W), but differ in marking (no band for CA), leakage behavior, and application scope. P6KE200A-E3/54 must be oriented correctly; reverse connection renders it nonfunctional.
What thermal derating applies to P6KE200A-E3/54 above 25 °C ambient?
P6KE200A-E3/54 power dissipation derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at 175 °C junction temperature. Per Figure 2 in Vishay Document 88369, the derating slope is approximately 40 mW/°C - meaning at 75 °C ambient, its usable power drops to ~3.0 W. This must be accounted for in thermally constrained enclosures or high-power pulse repetition scenarios.
