Product details
Overview
P6KE200AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 200 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 190–210 V at 1 mA), 171 V standoff voltage (VWM), 274 V clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power line and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200AHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE200AHE3/54 pinout, P6KE200AHE3/54 application, or P6KE200AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 2.2 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) for board-level thermal design.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below VWM = 171 V, then rapidly avalanches above VBR = 190–210 V to limit transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM).
Designed for 10/1000 µs surge waveforms, it delivers 274 V clamping at IPPM = 2.2 A with 0.108 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. The device sustains 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits RθJL = 20 °C/W for lead-to-junction heat transfer.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset threshold for reliable triggering |
| VWM | 171 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V at 2.2 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - enables thermal design margin when mounted on PCB with 0.375″ lead length |
| TJ max | +175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-15 (DO-204AC), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by color band at one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground; forms low-impedance path for transient current to earth |
| Cathode (non-banded end) | Protected line terminal | Connected to signal/power line being protected; avalanche conduction occurs cathode-to-anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage drift over temperature and lifetime |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching events |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream ICs such as microcontrollers and CAN transceivers |
| Matte tin plating, J-STD-002 compliant | Guarantees robust solderability and intermetallic formation control on production PCBs |
Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 (inductive switch-off) and pulse 3a/b (load dump suppression). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element placed between power rail and chassis ground, responding within <1 ns to suppress transients above 171 V. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by MCU power supply to ≤274 V during 2.2 A surge, preventing latch-up or permanent damage. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors connected to PLC I/O modules exposed to field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable unidirectional TVS placed across sensor output and ground to clamp ESD and lightning-induced spikes. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by clamping transients before they distort 4–20 mA loop signals or damage ADC front-end circuitry. |
| Consumer Power Adapter Input | Telecom Line Card Surge Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side DC input protection in wall adapters subjected to mains-borne surges and capacitor discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on +5 V or +12 V rail, absorbing repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses without degradation. Use Value: Extends adapter lifespan by diverting >95 % of 600 W surge energy away from rectifier diodes and bulk capacitors. |
Use Scenario: Primary protection stage on Ethernet or T1/E1 line cards facing induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line shunt device before gas discharge tube (GDT) or polymer PTC, establishing fast-response clamping baseline. Use Value: Reduces let-through voltage to downstream protection stages, enabling tighter coordination with secondary protectors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ200A | Same VWM (171 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (surface-mount) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs | Select when space-constrained layouts demand surface-mount integration and 400 W suffices |
| 1.5KE200A | Same VWM/VBR, higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201AD package | Offers higher surge margin but requires larger board area and different mounting tooling | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W requirements and board space allows DO-201AD footprint |
Compared with SMAJ200A and 1.5KE200A, P6KE200AHE3/54 provides optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 through-hole compatibility, and 600 W surge capacity - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial replacements where leaded assembly remains standard.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6KE200AHE3/54 under standard surge conditions?
The P6KE200AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at IPPM = 2.2 A. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and reflects the actual voltage imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is P6KE200AHE3/54 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, P6KE200AHE3/54 carries the HE3 suffix, indicating full AEC-Q101 qualification. It has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications per automotive OEM requirements.
How does the DO-15 package of P6KE200AHE3/54 affect thermal performance?
The DO-15 package delivers RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling effective heat dissipation through leads into the PCB copper. With 0.375″ lead length, it achieves PD = 5.0 W at TL = 75 °C - supporting sustained operation in thermally constrained enclosures without additional heatsinking.
What is the standoff voltage rating for P6KE200AHE3/54, and why does it matter?
P6KE200AHE3/54 has a VWM of 171 V - the maximum continuous reverse voltage it can block while maintaining leakage <1 µA. This rating ensures no false triggering during normal 12 V or 24 V system operation, preserving signal integrity and avoiding unnecessary power loss in always-on circuits.
Can P6KE200AHE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - P6KE200AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA"). For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers P6KE200CA variants with symmetrical clamping in both polarities; using P6KE200AHE3/54 in AC-coupled or floating lines risks forward conduction and failure.
