Product details
Overview
P6KE62CAHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 62 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 58.9 V / 65.1 V), 85 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 7.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE62CAHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE62CAHE3/54 pinout, P6KE62CAHE3/54 application, or P6KE62CAHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and verified 175 °C junction temperature rating for under-hood automotive environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector with symmetrical avalanche behavior in both polarities, enabling robust surge suppression without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance (< 12 Ω typical), critical for fast transient response under 1 ns.
The P6KE62CAHE3/54 delivers repeatable clamping performance across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range, supported by thermal resistance RθJL = 20 °C/W and RθJA = 75 °C/W. It meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and complies with JESD22-B102 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing (HE3 suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 58.9 V / 65.1 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold in both directions |
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 7.1 A (10/1000 μs) - clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - enables deployment in high-temperature automotive engine compartments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
| Package | DO-15 (DO-204AC) - industry-standard axial leaded package with 0.242–0.258 inch body length |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 (DO-204AC) package: axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; no polarity marking for bidirectional operation; compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (unmarked ends) | Bidirectional avalanche junction terminals | Either lead serves as input/output - symmetric conduction enables placement without orientation constraints |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current path for transient energy diversion | Leads conduct surge current to ground or rail; thermal resistance RθJL = 20 °C/W supports 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a surges without degradation when properly heatsinked |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.34) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| UL 497B recognized (QVGQ2) | Meets safety requirements for telecom and industrial signal line protection without additional certification |
Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt protector on 4–20 mA current loop or 0–10 V signal line. Use Value: Clamps ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact) while maintaining <1.0 μA leakage at 53 V operating voltage. |
| Telecom Line Surge Protection | Consumer Power Adapter Input Stage |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64CA | DO-214AA package; 64 V VBR; 1000 W PPPM; lower VC/VBR ratio (1.29) | Surface-mount layout; higher surge margin but requires PCB rework for replacement | Select when board space allows SMT and higher peak power handling is required |
| 1.5KE62CA | DO-201AD package; same VBR/VC; 1500 W PPPM; larger body (2.75 mm Ø × 7.1 mm L) | Higher power derating margin; incompatible with DO-15 footprint | Choose for legacy through-hole designs needing >600 W headroom without thermal redesign |
Compared with P6KE62CAHE3/54, SMBJ64CA offers superior surge capacity and tighter clamping in a smaller SMT package but demands layout change, while 1.5KE62CA provides higher power rating in a physically larger axial package - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping protection roles in automotive and industrial systems.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6KE62CAHE3/54?
The "CA" suffix denotes bidirectional configuration: P6KE62CAHE3/54 conducts and clamps symmetrically in both polarities, making it suitable for AC signal lines or ungrounded DC rails where polarity cannot be guaranteed. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6KE62A), it has no cathode marking and exhibits identical VBR, VC, and IPPM in either direction - confirmed in Vishay Document 88369, Section "Devices for Bidirectional Applications".
Is P6KE62CAHE3/54 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, P6KE62CAHE3/54 is RoHS compliant and lead-free: the "HE3" suffix explicitly indicates RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. It also satisfies JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing - documented in the Mechanical Data section of Vishay's P6KE6.8A–P6KE540A datasheet (Rev. 27-Sep-2021).
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE62CAHE3/54 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6KE62CAHE3/54 is 85.0 V, measured at 7.1 A peak pulse current using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +175 °C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - per Electrical Characteristics Table, row "P6KE62A" in Vishay Document 88369.
Can P6KE62CAHE3/54 replace P6KE62A in an existing design?
No - P6KE62CAHE3/54 cannot directly replace unidirectional P6KE62A without circuit review: although both share identical VBR and VC values, the CA version lacks polarity marking and conducts in both directions, potentially causing unintended conduction paths in DC-only circuits. Use only where bidirectional clamping is intentionally required, as confirmed in Vishay's "Polarity" note on page 1.
What packaging format is supplied for P6KE62CAHE3/54?
P6KE62CAHE3/54 is supplied in 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel format, with 4000 units per reel (package code "54"). This matches the ordering information example in Vishay Document 88369, page 3, and supports automated SMT placement despite its axial-leaded DO-15 form factor - verified via Vishay's official ordering matrix and Digi-Key/Mouser part listings.
