Product details
Overview
P6KE75C-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 71.3 V minimum and 78.8 V maximum breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 64.1 V stand-off voltage, 103 V maximum clamping voltage at 5.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power dissipation with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE75C-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE75C-E3/54 pinout, P6KE75C-E3/54 application, or P6KE75C-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, UL 94 V-0 rated epoxy package, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 transient immunity standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ at 64.1 V), but switches to low-impedance conduction within <1 ns when transient voltage exceeds VBR. Its bi-directional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints.
Clamping performance is defined by VC = 103 V at IPPM = 5.8 A (10/1000 μs), with temperature coefficient of VBR at +0.105 %/°C. Junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 20 °C/W supports reliable power derating up to TL = 75 °C per Fig. 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 71.3 V / 78.8 V at IT = 1 mA - defines precise voltage threshold for bi-directional avalanche conduction |
| VWM | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V at 5.8 A (10/1000 μs) - clamping voltage limiting downstream circuit stress during surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - enables thermal design margin for lead-mounted PCB layouts without heatsinking |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA | Same VBR range (71.3–78.8 V), but SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 110 °C/W) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; lower thermal mass limits repetitive surge duty cycle | Select SMBJ75CA when board area is critical and surge events are infrequent or low-duty-cycle |
| 1.5KE75CA | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same DO-204AC package, but larger die size and higher VC = 121 V | Used where higher single-event energy (e.g., direct lightning coupling) must be absorbed | Choose 1.5KE75CA only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W clamping capacity |
Compared with SMBJ75CA and 1.5KE75CA, P6KE75C-E3/54 delivers optimal balance of surge robustness, thermal manageability in leaded mounting, and cost-efficiency for mid-tier automotive and industrial applications requiring AEC-Q101 validation.

FAQ
What does the "C" suffix indicate in P6KE75C-E3/54?
The "C" in P6KE75C-E3/54 denotes bi-directional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities - essential for protecting AC-coupled or differential signal paths such as RS-485, CAN, or audio lines. Unlike uni-directional variants (e.g., P6KE75A), P6KE75C-E3/54 has no cathode marking and identical electrical characteristics in either direction.
Is P6KE75C-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6KE75C-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use per Vishay documentation. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature, glass-passivated junction, and validation across temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD tests make P6KE75C-E3/54 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where transient immunity is critical.
How does P6KE75C-E3/54 differ from P6KE75A-E3/54?
P6KE75C-E3/54 is bi-directional with symmetrical clamping, while P6KE75A-E3/54 is uni-directional and features a cathode band. Their breakdown voltages (71.3–78.8 V) and clamping performance (103 V at 5.8 A) are identical, but P6KE75A-E3/54 specifies forward voltage (VF = 3.5 V at 50 A) and IFSM = 100 A - parameters not applicable to the bi-directional P6KE75C-E3/54.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE75C-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage of P6KE75C-E3/54 is 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured across the device terminals during surge conduction and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry - a key parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does P6KE75C-E3/54 require a heatsink for standard operation?
No, P6KE75C-E3/54 does not require an external heatsink under typical surge conditions due to its low thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL = 20 °C/W) and intended intermittent duty cycle (0.01 %). When mounted with standard 0.375" lead length per Vishay Fig. 5, it safely dissipates 5.0 W continuously at TL = 75 °C - sufficient for most transient suppression roles without added thermal infrastructure.
