Product details
Overview
P6KE200CAHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 200 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 190–210 V), 171 V standoff voltage (VWM), 274 V maximum clamping voltage at 2.2 A peak pulse current, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200CAHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE200CAHE3/54 pinout, P6KE200CAHE3/54 application, or P6KE200CAHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional surge protection capability, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, 175 °C max junction temperature, low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), and compliance with UL 497B for telecom and industrial interface protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector using an avalanche breakdown mechanism, with symmetrical bidirectional conduction enabled by its CA suffix configuration. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for consistent transient suppression across repeated events.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 20 °C/W and RθJA = 75 °C/W, supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. The 10/1000 µs waveform rating reflects standardized surge immunity testing per IEC 61000-4-5, while the 0.01 % duty cycle limit governs repetitive surge handling capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V - Ensures reliable avalanche initiation within ±5 % tolerance at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 171 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V at 2.2 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient power dissipation capability under standard surge waveform |
| IPPM | 2.2 A - Maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current supported at rated VC |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | <1 µA - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-15 (DO-204AC), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. No polarity marking - bidirectional symmetry eliminates cathode/anode orientation concerns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Identical avalanche behavior in both directions; no functional distinction between leads |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Connection to protected line | Direct series or shunt placement across input/output nodes; no internal biasing required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD HBM ≥ 8 kV |
| Glass passivated junction | Stable VBR drift <0.1 %/°C and long-term parameter consistency over 10-year field life |
| UL 497B recognized (QVGQ2) | Approved for telecom interface protection without additional system-level certification overhead |
| 600 W 10/1000 µs rating | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-line, 2 kV line-to-ground) in typical PCB layouts |
| Low thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) | Enables >90 % of rated power dissipation via lead conduction, reducing board-level thermal design burden |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200CA | DO-214AA package; lower RθJA (50 °C/W); same VBR/VC specs but 600 W rating at 1.0 ms pulse width | Better suited for surface-mount boards with tight thermal constraints; not axial-leaded | Select SMBJ200CA when automated SMT assembly and improved thermal performance outweigh through-hole mounting needs. |
| 1.5KE200CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W); larger DO-201AD package; identical VBR, VWM, VC, and bidirectional function | Used where higher single-event surge margin is required, e.g., outdoor power supplies or grid-connected equipment | Choose 1.5KE200CA when system-level surge testing requires >600 W headroom and board space permits larger axial package. |
Compared with SMBJ200CA and 1.5KE200CA, P6KE200CAHE3/54 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, UL 497B recognition, DO-15 form factor, and cost efficiency for mid-tier automotive and industrial applications requiring proven 600 W surge handling.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6KE200CAHE3/54?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning P6KE200CAHE3/54 provides symmetrical transient suppression in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6KE200A), it has no cathode marking and functions identically regardless of voltage polarity - essential for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal may occur.
Is P6KE200CAHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6KE200CAHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications. Its DO-15 package meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance, and UL 497B recognition supports integration into automotive infotainment and power distribution systems without additional system-level validation.
How does the clamping voltage of P6KE200CAHE3/54 compare to its breakdown voltage?
P6KE200CAHE3/54 has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 190 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V at 2.2 A. This 84 V differential represents the dynamic impedance drop during surge conduction - a design trade-off ensuring fast response and low let-through energy while maintaining safe margin above normal operating voltage (VWM = 171 V).
What is the significance of the "HE3/54" suffix in P6KE200CAHE3/54?
The "HE3" indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance; "54" specifies the packaging format - 4000-piece 13-inch paper tape and reel. This distinguishes P6KE200CAHE3/54 from commercial-grade "E3" variants and confirms suitability for high-reliability production environments requiring full traceability and process control.
Can P6KE200CAHE3/54 be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like P6KE200A?
No - P6KE200CAHE3/54 is bidirectional and lacks polarity marking, whereas P6KE200A is unidirectional with a cathode band. Substituting them requires circuit review: P6KE200CAHE3/54 may be used in AC or floating DC paths, but will not provide correct forward conduction in DC-biased unidirectional configurations. Always verify signal topology before replacement.
