Product details
Overview
P6KE62-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 62 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 58.9–65.1 V), 53.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 85.0 V clamping voltage at 7.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive body control modules, industrial PLC I/O protection, and telecom power supply front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE62-E3/73 datasheet, P6KE62-E3/73 pinout, P6KE62-E3/73 application, or P6KE62-E3/73 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-204AC package details, thermal resistance data, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world surge protection use cases - all confirmed against Vishay Document #88369 (Rev. 18-Sep-12).
Technical Context
The P6KE62-E3/73 employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low dynamic impedance during surge events. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased circuits where reverse conduction must be blocked until clamping threshold is exceeded.
It operates within -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM), and exhibits 0.057 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - ensuring predictable voltage clamping across automotive and industrial thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 58.9 V / 65.1 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise clamping onset window for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 7.1 A peak pulse current - limits downstream component stress during 600 W transient events |
| PPPM | 600 W with 10/1000 µs waveform - sustains high-energy surges common in load-switching and ESD scenarios |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - enables effective heat transfer from junction to lead under pulsed power conditions |
| TJ max | +175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix); UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound; 0.432 g unit weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected circuit; conducts during forward surge or bias |
| Cathode (banded end) | Clamping reference terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail; initiates avalanche breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds VBR |
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) | Withstands high-energy transients from inductive switching without degradation - critical for solenoid and relay drivers |
| 0.057 %/°C VBR tempco | Minimizes clamping voltage drift over temperature - maintains protection margin across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade deployment including engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Reduces voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients - improves immunity to EFT and lightning-induced surges |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller GPIOs and CAN transceiver power rails from load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on 12 V battery-supplied subsystems, placed upstream of LDOs and level shifters. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤85.0 V during 600 W pulses, preventing latch-up and gate oxide damage in 3.3 V/5 V logic. |
Use Scenario: Shields 24 V digital input optocouplers from field-wiring induced surges in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line overvoltage barrier between field wiring and isolation barrier, absorbing energy before it reaches internal circuitry. Use Value: Clamps 1 kV/1 Ω ring wave transients to safe levels within <1 ns, preserving optocoupler CTR and lifetime. |
| Telecom Power Supply Front-End | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Board |
Use Scenario: Guards AC/DC adapter secondary-side DC bus against back-EMF from hot-swap connectors and line transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on +48 V output rail, coordinated with fuse and MOV for staged protection. Use Value: Maintains 53.0 V standoff while clamping 7.1 A surges to 85.0 V - avoids false triggering while ensuring MOSFET gate-source safety. |
Use Scenario: Suppresses commutation spikes from universal motor brushes and triac-based speed controls in washing machines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across motor terminals and across triac snubber networks. Use Value: Absorbs repetitive 600 W pulses at up to 0.01 % duty cycle, extending triac and MCU lifespan in high-humidity environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ60A | DO-214AA package; 60 V VWM; 96.8 V VC @ 6.2 A; same 600 W rating but higher clamping voltage | Preferred for surface-mount PCBs with space constraints; less suitable for through-hole legacy designs | Select SMBJ60A only if board layout supports SMD placement and higher clamping voltage is acceptable |
| 1.5KE62A | Same DO-204AC package; identical VBR (58.9–65.1 V) and VC (85.0 V); 1500 W rating (10/1000 µs) - higher power class | Used where system-level surge testing requires >600 W margin, e.g., DIN rail-mounted industrial equipment | Choose 1.5KE62A when design must pass IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) without derating; not drop-in due to larger footprint |
Compared with SMBJ60A and 1.5KE62A, the P6KE62-E3/73 offers optimal balance of through-hole compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, and precise 53.0 V standoff - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial replacements where exact DO-15 footprint and RoHS/E3 compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the P6KE62-E3/73?
The P6KE62-E3/73 has a maximum working standoff voltage (VWM) of 53.0 V, meaning it remains non-conductive with leakage current ≤1.0 µA up to this DC or RMS voltage. This value ensures compatibility with nominal 48 V systems and provides a 5 V margin below its 58.9 V minimum breakdown voltage - critical for avoiding false triggering in stable operating conditions.
Is the P6KE62-E3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE62-E3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay Document #88369, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power rails, and sensor interface protection. Its -55 °C to +175 °C operating range, 100 A IFSM, and glass-passivated junction meet stringent automotive reliability requirements.
What does the "E3/73" suffix indicate in P6KE62-E3/73?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. The "/73" indicates packaging in 73 mm tape-and-reel format - standard for DO-204AC devices at Vishay, enabling automated through-hole insertion.
How does the clamping voltage (VC) of P6KE62-E3/73 compare to similar TVS diodes?
The P6KE62-E3/73 clamps to 85.0 V at 7.1 A (10/1000 µs), which is lower than SMBJ60A (96.8 V) but identical to 1.5KE62A. This tight clamping ensures downstream components like 100 V-rated MOSFETs or 5 V logic ICs remain within safe operating limits - a key differentiator for designs with narrow voltage margins.
Can P6KE62-E3/73 replace P6KE62A in existing designs?
Yes, P6KE62-E3/73 is a direct replacement for P6KE62A with identical electrical specifications, DO-204AC package, and pinout. The E3 suffix adds RoHS compliance and enhanced whisker resistance, while maintaining full compatibility in legacy through-hole layouts - no PCB or schematic changes required.
