Product details
Overview
P6KE7.5C-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines in both polarities. It features a 7.13 V minimum and 7.88 V maximum breakdown voltage at 10 mA, 6.40 V stand-off voltage, 11.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 53.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE7.5C-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE7.5C-E3/54 pinout, P6KE7.5C-E3/54 application, or P6KE7.5C-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping performance, DO-204AC package compatibility, UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy housing, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) for board-level surge resilience validation.
Technical Context
The P6KE7.5C-E3/54 operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector with symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction enables sub-nanosecond response to ESD and lightning-induced transients, while low incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 μs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle.
Designed for unregulated DC or AC-coupled signal paths, it sustains 1000 μA maximum reverse leakage at 6.40 V stand-off and exhibits +0.061 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage - enabling predictable derating across -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction range without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 7.13–7.88 V at 10 mA: defines precise voltage threshold where avalanche conduction begins in either polarity |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 6.40 V: maximum continuous working voltage before leakage exceeds 1000 μA - sets safe operating margin below clamping onset |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 11.3 V at 53.1 A IPPM: peak line voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case transient - determines downstream component stress |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 600 W with 10/1000 μs waveform: quantifies single-event surge energy absorption capacity without failure |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15): axial-leaded through-hole package with 0.300" lead length, UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding, and matte tin-plated leads |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +175 °C: supports under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor telecom deployments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes (HE3 suffix variant); P6KE7.5C-E3/54 is commercial-grade but shares identical die and package construction |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) package: axial-leaded, cylindrical epoxy-molded case with no polarity marking - consistent with bi-directional functionality. Leads are matte tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, rated for 275 °C / 10 s solder dip.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (unmarked) | Bi-directional avalanche junction terminals | No functional distinction between leads; symmetric conduction enables placement without orientation check on PCB |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current return path during clamping | Both leads conduct equally during positive or negative transients - requires equal trace impedance for balanced layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated chip junction | Enables stable, repeatable avalanche characteristics over 1000+ surge events without parameter drift |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity when paired with appropriate series impedance |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.43) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream MOSFET gates or MCU I/O pins during transient events |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Confirms self-extinguishing behavior under fault conditions - required for industrial safety certifications |
| JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance | Validates long-term reliability of matte tin plating in high-humidity environments without dendritic growth risk |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial PLC Analog Inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0CA | DO-214AA package; 7.0 V nominal breakdown; 7.78 V VC at 64.5 A; 600 W rating | Surface-mount footprint; lower clamping voltage but higher IPPM - better suited for space-constrained PCBs | Select SMBJ7.0CA when automated SMT assembly is required and thermal pad layout supports RθJA ≤ 50 °C/W |
| 1.5KE7.5C | DO-201AD package; same VBR range; 11.3 V VC at 53.1 A; identical 600 W rating; larger body size | Higher power dissipation margin (PD = 5.0 W vs. 5.0 W) but longer lead inductance - less effective for <100 ns ESD | Choose 1.5KE7.5C only when legacy through-hole compatibility with larger creepage/clearance is mandated |
Compared with SMBJ7.0CA and 1.5KE7.5C, the P6KE7.5C-E3/54 offers optimal balance of axial-leaded manufacturability, UL 94 V-0 compliance, and verified AEC-Q101 process lineage - making it preferred for cost-sensitive automotive Tier 2 suppliers and industrial OEMs requiring audit-ready sourcing.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of P6KE7.5C-E3/54?
The P6KE7.5C-E3/54 is a bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping in both positive and negative voltage directions. Unlike uni-directional variants (e.g., P6KE7.5A), it has no cathode marking and functions identically regardless of lead orientation - critical for AC-coupled or floating signal line protection where polarity reversal may occur.
Does P6KE7.5C-E3/54 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
The P6KE7.5C-E3/54 itself carries the commercial-grade E3 suffix and is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its identical-die counterpart P6KE7.5CHE3/54 is fully AEC-Q101 qualified. Both share the same DO-204AC package, electrical parameters, and manufacturing process - allowing direct drop-in replacement in automotive designs upon qualification approval.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE7.5C-E3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE7.5C-E3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 53.1 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the highest instantaneous voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events.
Can P6KE7.5C-E3/54 be used in AC line protection applications?
Yes - the bi-directional nature and 6.40 V stand-off voltage make P6KE7.5C-E3/54 suitable for low-voltage AC signal line protection (e.g., 5 V AC-coupled audio, RS-485, or isolated sensor outputs), but it is not rated for direct connection to mains AC. For 120/230 V AC line protection, higher-voltage variants like P6KE150C or multi-stage architectures are required.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for P6KE7.5C-E3/54?
The P6KE7.5C-E3/54 has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured under standard test conditions. This parameter governs heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper via the leads, directly impacting sustained surge handling capability and derating above 25 °C ambient temperature.
