Product details
Overview
P6KE62AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 62 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 58.9–65.1 V), 85 V maximum clamping voltage at 7.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE62AHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE62AHE3/54 pinout, P6KE62AHE3/54 application, or P6KE62AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include stand-off voltage (53.0 V), reverse leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility for board-level surge protection in automotive and industrial signal lines.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ at 53 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), critical for safeguarding MOSFET gates and IC inputs.
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 per Fig. 5. The device fails short-circuit under severe overload, enabling fuse or breaker coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 58.9 V / 65.1 V - defines precise clamping onset window; ensures reliable triggering before downstream component damage |
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; sets safe margin below breakdown for system DC bias |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V @ 7.1 A - worst-case clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's voltage stress limit |
| IPPM | 7.1 A - peak surge current capability; defines minimum transient energy (≈1.2 J) the device can absorb without failure |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power rating; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge testing |
| TJ max | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - confirms reliability for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package

| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Validates compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial and automotive equipment |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Confirms robustness for automotive applications including powertrain, chassis, and infotainment systems |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD, relay bounce) |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Guarantees solderability per J-STD-002 and whisker resistance per JESD 201 Class 2 (HE3 suffix) |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump transients up to 120 V and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element placed between supply rail and ground, triggered within nanoseconds of overvoltage event. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by MCU and CAN transceivers to ≤85 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide rupture in downstream silicon. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog output lines (4–20 mA, 0–10 V) of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient clamp across signal and return paths, suppressing EFT bursts and cable discharge events. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by holding common-mode voltage excursion below 100 mV during 4 kV EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), avoiding ADC saturation or DAC offset drift. |
| Consumer Device USB Port Protection | Telecom Line Card Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Shielding USB 2.0 data lines (D+/D−) and VBUS in set-top boxes and smart displays from ESD and hot-plug spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on VBUS and bidirectional pairs on differential data lines, configured per USB-IF layout guidelines. Use Value: Clamps 15 kV contact ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) to <30 V within 1 ns, preserving USB PHY functionality without protocol reset. | Use Scenario: Front-end protection of DSL/ADSL line interface circuits exposed to lightning-induced surges on twisted-pair telecom lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary coarse protection stage before secondary GDT or polymer PPTC, rated for 10/700 µs telecom surges. Use Value: Absorbs >100 A peak surge current (derated from 600 W rating), reducing let-through energy to <5 J for downstream IC-level protection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64A | DO-214AA package; 64 V VBR; 600 W rating; lower RθJA (50 °C/W) but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for commercial PCBs with space constraints; not approved for automotive under-hood use | Select SMBJ64A when footprint size is critical and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| 1.5KE62A | Same DO-15 package; identical VBR range; 1500 W peak power; higher IPPM (17.5 A); non-AEC-Q101 | Used where higher surge margin is needed (e.g., AC mains input stages), but lacks automotive qualification | Choose 1.5KE62A for higher-energy surge environments where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ64A and 1.5KE62A, the P6KE62AHE3/54 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 legacy compatibility, and optimized 600 W clamping performance-making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial designs requiring certified reliability.

The P6KE62AHE3/54 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable overvoltage protection design margins in automotive and industrial systems.
Is P6KE62AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE62AHE3/54 carries the HE3 suffix, indicating AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88369). This certification validates its reliability for automotive applications including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces under extended temperature and vibration stress conditions.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE62AHE3/54 during a surge event?
The P6KE62AHE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.1 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does P6KE62AHE3/54 have a unidirectional or bidirectional configuration?
The P6KE62AHE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, denoted by the "A" suffix (as opposed to "CA" for bidirectional variants). Its cathode is marked by a color band, and it conducts only in reverse breakdown-making it ideal for DC supply rail protection where polarity is fixed and forward conduction must be avoided.
What package type does P6KE62AHE3/54 use and what are its key mechanical features?
P6KE62AHE3/54 uses the DO-15 (DO-204AC) axial package with molded epoxy housing meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
