Product details
Overview
P6KE200CHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 274 V maximum clamping voltage at 2.2 A peak pulse current, and 171 V stand-off voltage - deployed to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200CHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE200CHE3/54 pinout, P6KE200CHE3/54 application, or P6KE200CHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction temperature rating, low leakage (<1.0 μA at 171 V), and compatibility with 13" tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 GΩ at VWM), then avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) when transient voltage exceeds 200 V breakdown range (190–210 V at 1 mA). Its bi-directional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity constraints.
Thermal design relies on RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient); derating begins above 25 °C ambient, with full power (5.0 W) only sustainable at TL ≤ 75 °C. The glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR temperature coefficient (0.108 %/°C) and robust surge endurance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 171 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 190–210 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche initiation window ensuring predictable turn-on during transients |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 274 V at 2.2 A (10/1000 μs) - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge events |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 600 W - sustains standardized lightning/surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without degradation |
| Leakage Current (ID) | <1.0 μA at 171 V - negligible standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | -55 to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without thermal shutdown |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, molded epoxy case meeting UL 94 V-0; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. No polarity marking - bi-directional operation confirmed by "CA" suffix in family designation and absence of cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (reversible) | Bi-directional avalanche junction | Either lead serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no DC bias dependency |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current path for surge conduction | Both leads conduct equally during positive or negative transients; symmetric clamping performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Enables stable VBR tolerance (±5 %), low leakage, and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial and automotive electronics |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., inductive switch-off spikes) |
| RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and EU Directive 2011/65/EU hazardous substance restrictions |
Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery line in engine control module exposed to load dump (ISO 16750-2) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element placed across supply rail upstream of LDO regulators and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤274 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic. |
Use Scenario: Analog output line of pressure sensor in factory automation PLC I/O module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS placed differential-mode across signal pair (e.g., 4–20 mA loop).

| Telecom Line Surge Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Ethernet PHY interface in VoIP gateway subjected to lightning-induced surges on PoE lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary protection stage before gas discharge tube (GDT) and secondary TVS array. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response captures initial surge edge; 274 V clamping prevents PHY IC damage while allowing GDT to handle bulk energy. |
Use Scenario: H-bridge gate drive lines in smart washing machine motor controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized clamping at each MOSFET source-drain node to suppress shoot-through induced spikes. Use Value: Withstands repetitive 600 W pulses from commutation noise; 175 °C rating survives enclosed thermal environment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200CA | Same VWM (171 V) and VC (274 V), but SMC package (higher thermal mass, RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 75 °C/W) | Better power handling in high-temperature PCB layouts; requires larger footprint than DO-15 | Select SMBJ200CA when board space allows and junction temperature must stay below 150 °C under sustained surges |
| 1.5KE200CA | Same electrical specs but higher 1.5 kW PPPM; DO-201AD package (larger than DO-15, longer leads) | Higher surge margin for infrequent but extreme transients (e.g., outdoor telecom); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose 1.5KE200CA for non-automotive applications needing extra safety margin without layout change |
Compared with SMBJ200CA and 1.5KE200CA, P6KE200CHE3/54 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and compact DO-15 form factor ideal for space-constrained automotive modules, while maintaining identical clamping performance and RoHS/whisker compliance.

FAQ
What does the 'HE3/54' suffix mean in P6KE200CHE3/54?
The 'HE3' suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; '/54' denotes 13-inch paper tape and reel packaging with 4000 units per reel. This distinguishes P6KE200CHE3/54 from commercial-grade 'E3' variants and confirms its suitability for automotive production use.
Is P6KE200CHE3/54 unidirectional or bidirectional?
P6KE200CHE3/54 is bi-directional, confirmed by the 'CA' in its base part number (P6KE200CA) and absence of cathode band marking. Its electrical characteristics - including symmetrical VBR, VC, and leakage - apply identically for both polarities, making it ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE200CHE3/54 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6KE200CHE3/54 is 274 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at 2.2 A peak pulse current. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number 88369, page 2) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
Can P6KE200CHE3/54 replace P6KE200A in a design?
No - P6KE200CHE3/54 is bi-directional (P6KE200CA), while P6KE200A is unidirectional. Substituting them would compromise protection on negative-going transients. The 'A' suffix denotes unidirectional operation with cathode marking; 'CA' (and thus HE3/54) denotes bi-directional symmetry and no polarity marking.
What is the thermal resistance of P6KE200CHE3/54, and how does it affect layout?
P6KE200CHE3/54 has RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient). To maintain TJ ≤ 175 °C, keep lead temperature ≤ 75 °C and minimize copper area around leads - unlike SMC-packaged alternatives, its DO-15 form relies more on lead conduction than PCB copper for heat dissipation.
