Product details
Overview
P6KE200HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 200 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 190–210 V), 171 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 274 V clamping voltage (VC) 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 P6KE200HE3/54 datasheet, P6KE200HE3/54 pinout, P6KE200HE3/54 application, or P6KE200HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ leakage at VWM), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR, limiting downstream voltage to ≤274 V at 2.2 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and fast response (<1 ns).
Designed for single-polarity DC systems, P6KE200HE3/54 supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 %, derates linearly above 25 °C ambient (1.2 %/°C), and withstands 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +175 °C, with thermal resistance from junction to lead at 20 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V - Ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false trips |
| VWM | 171 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V at 2.2 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient; defines protected circuit's maximum stress level |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak surge power handling capability per single 10/1000 µs waveform |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Enables thermal design with lead-mounted PCB layout; limits junction rise to 44 °C at 2.2 A pulse |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST |
Pinout & Package

Use Scenario: Analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) routed across noisy factory floors with EMI and switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<50 pF) parallel protector on differential or single-ended signal lines upstream of ADC inputs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by suppressing ±1 kV ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and inductive kickback without attenuating DC or low-frequency signals. |
| DC Motor Drive Flyback Suppression | Telecom Line Card Surge Protection |
|
Use Scenario: H-bridge motor drivers where inductive turn-off generates >100 V flyback spikes on supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uni-directional TVS tied from motor supply node to ground; absorbs energy during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: Eliminates need for bulk electrolytic snubbers; reduces board space and improves efficiency by minimizing clamp losses. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side protection on telecom power feeds (−48 V DC) subject to lightning-induced surges (ITU-T K.20/21). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage protector mounted at entry point; coordinates with secondary GDT or MOV for staged clamping. Use Value: Withstands 10/1000 µs 600 W surges while maintaining <1 µA leakage at −48 V, ensuring low standby power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ200A-E3/52 | Lower peak pulse power (400 W), smaller SMA package (vs. DO-15), higher VC/VBR ratio (1.43) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; less robust for repeated load-dump events | Select when board area is critical and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal relief for lead-mounted layout |
| 1.5KE200A | Same DO-204AC package, identical VBR/VC, but only commercial grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified) | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical modules | Acceptable for industrial or consumer power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMAJ200A-E3/52 and 1.5KE200A, P6KE200HE3/54 delivers superior automotive-grade reliability via AEC-Q101 validation, higher 600 W surge capacity, and optimized thermal resistance for lead-based mounting-making it the preferred choice for automotive power net protection where long-term field stability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6KE200HE3/54 and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of P6KE200HE3/54 is 274 V, measured at 2.2 A peak pulse current using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a defined surge event and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range. The P6KE200HE3/54 achieves this clamping performance due to its low incremental surge resistance and glass-passivated junction structure.
Is P6KE200HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6KE200HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically rated for automotive use. Its construction-including HE3 matte tin plating (JESD 201 Class 2), DO-204AC package with UL 94 V-0 epoxy, and operation up to +175 °C junction temperature-meets requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The P6KE200HE3/54 has undergone stress testing including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix mean in P6KE200HE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance plating, while "/54" specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel containing 4000 units. This packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly and complies with EIA-481-D standards. The P6KE200HE3/54 is not compatible with moisture-sensitive level (MSL) handling protocols since it is not a plastic-encapsulated surface-mount device.
How does P6KE200HE3/54 differ from bi-directional TVS diodes like P6KE200CA?
P6KE200HE3/54 is uni-directional and intended for DC circuits where polarity is fixed (e.g., +12 V rail to ground), with a cathode band marking. In contrast, P6KE200CA is bi-directional and symmetrical, used in AC or floating signal lines. The P6KE200HE3/54 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %) and lower forward voltage drop (5.0 V at 50 A), whereas P6KE200CA lacks forward conduction specification and exhibits equal clamping in both directions.
What is the maximum leakage current of P6KE200HE3/54 at its rated stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 171 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of P6KE200HE3/54 is 1.0 µA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems such as automotive body control modules and enables use in high-impedance sensor bias networks without signal corruption. Leakage remains below 5 µA up to 150 °C junction temperature.
