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

Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, molded epoxy case meeting UL 94 V-0. Matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability; HE3 suffix indicates JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
Anode Forward conduction terminal Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path); enables uni-directional clamping from cathode to anode
Cathode Reverse-biased terminal Marked with color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts during overvoltage events

Key Features

Feature Design Value
Glass passivated junction Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling
600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) Handles ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a surges without degradation in automotive power nets
AEC-Q101 qualification Validated for automotive use including engine control units, body controllers, and ADAS sensor interfaces
Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) Minimizes protected IC stress margin; critical for 200 V-rated MOSFET gate drivers and CAN transceivers
RoHS-compliant HE3 finish Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance for high-reliability solder joints in vibration-prone assemblies

Applications

Automotive Power Rail Protection Industrial Sensor Interface Protection

Use Scenario: 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 16750-2) and alternator ripple.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device placed between power rail and ground; responds within <1 ns to limit transients to safe levels.

Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to microcontrollers and power management ICs by clamping spikes to ≤274 V.

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.
