Product details
Overview
P6KE62A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 53.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 58.9–65.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA), and clamps to ≤85.0 V at 7.1 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE62A-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE62A-E3/54 pinout, P6KE62A-E3/54 application, or P6KE62A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected device's absolute maximum rating, thermal derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity marking (cathode band), and DO-15 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ leakage at 53.0 V), but avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) when transient voltage exceeds VBR, diverting surge current away from downstream components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
It is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), 175 °C max junction temperature, and meets JESD 22-B106 solderability (275 °C, 10 s). The E3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance - critical for long-life industrial deployments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 53.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for safe operation in nominal 48 V DC systems. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 58.9–65.1 V at 1 mA - Tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on; guarantees clamping initiates before protected ICs exceed 60 V absolute max rating. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤85.0 V at 7.1 A (10/1000 μs) - Defines worst-case voltage seen by load during surge; provides ≥15 V margin below typical 100 V MOSFET drain-source rating. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustains standardized lightning/surge transients per IEC 61000-4-5; enables single-device protection for moderate-energy events. |
| RθJL (Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance) | 20 °C/W - Enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking; supports >5 W steady-state dissipation with minimal lead temperature rise. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands motor commutation spikes or relay coil flyback without degradation. |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Allows operation in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-15 (DO-204AC) - axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; 0.242–0.258 inch body length, 0.130–0.138 inch diameter; UL 94 V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to circuit ground or low-voltage rail; completes shunt path during avalanche conduction. |
| Cathode (banded end) | High-side transient input | Connected to line being protected (e.g., +48 V supply); color band identifies polarity for correct unidirectional installation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable, repeatable breakdown voltage over 10+ years and >1000 surge events without parameter drift. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Matches IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge test requirements for industrial equipment without external series impedance. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 variant) / RoHS-compliant (E3) | E3 suffix meets commercial-grade environmental compliance; HE3 variant available for automotive under-hood use. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected devices - critical for 60 V-rated MOSFETs and 5 V/3.3 V logic interfaces. |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Activates before most microsecond-scale transients (e.g., ESD, relay bounce) propagate into sensitive circuitry. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS on regulated output rail, coordinated with primary-side MOV and secondary-side capacitors. Use Value: Provides fast, low-capacitance (<50 pF) clamping without affecting 100 MHz signal integrity on data lines sharing same ground plane. |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage guard on AC mains rectifier output and microcontroller VDD rails in washing machine main control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated clamp absorbing switching noise from triac-based heater/motor controls. Use Value: Maintains 53.0 V standoff while clamping 600 W surges - prevents brownout resets and flash memory corruption during pump cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ60A | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (surface-mount), 58–64.4 V VBR range, 93.6 V VC at 4.3 A. | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better suited for space-constrained consumer electronics than high-energy industrial lines. | Select SMAJ60A only if board area is constrained and surge energy remains ≤400 W; verify thermal pad design for 400 W pulse handling. |
| 1.5KE62A | Same DO-15 package, higher PPPM (1500 W), wider VBR (58.9–65.1 V), higher VC (101 V at 14.9 A), larger junction capacitance. | Overkill for 600 W needs; introduces higher clamping voltage and thermal mass - may delay response in fast-edge ESD events. | Choose 1.5KE62A only when legacy designs require backward compatibility with 1500 W surge standards or higher IFSM margin is mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ60A and 1.5KE62A, P6KE62A-E3/54 delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capability, 85 V clamping ceiling, and DO-15 through-hole manufacturability - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, medium-energy industrial and automotive power rail protection where layout flexibility and thermal robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of P6KE62A-E3/54?
P6KE62A-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the line being protected (e.g., positive supply rail), while the unmarked end connects to ground. This configuration blocks reverse voltage up to 53.0 V and clamps positive transients only - essential for DC power rail protection where bidirectional clamping is unnecessary.
Does P6KE62A-E3/54 meet automotive qualification standards?
P6KE62A-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating RoHS compliance and commercial-grade qualification. For automotive use, Vishay offers the P6KE62AHE3/54 variant (HE3 suffix), which is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - required for under-hood and body electronics applications.
How does the clamping voltage of P6KE62A-E3/54 compare to its breakdown voltage?
P6KE62A-E3/54 has a VBR range of 58.9–65.1 V at 1 mA and clamps to ≤85.0 V at 7.1 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This yields a clamping ratio of ~1.31, meaning the device adds only ~25 V overhead during surge conduction - a critical margin for protecting 60 V-rated MOSFETs and ensuring safe operation below their absolute maximum ratings.
Can P6KE62A-E3/54 be used in parallel for higher surge handling?
No - P6KE62A-E3/54 should not be paralleled without external balancing resistors. Minor VBR tolerances (±5 %) cause current imbalance during surges, leading to thermal runaway in the lower-VBR unit. For >600 W requirements, select a single higher-power device like 1.5KE62A or implement staged protection with upstream MOVs and downstream low-capacitance TVS arrays.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P6KE62A-E3/54?
P6KE62A-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of 175 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C. At ambient temperatures above 25 °C, power derating applies per Figure 2 in the datasheet - e.g., at 75 °C ambient, maximum continuous power drops to ~3.5 W due to thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W).
