Product details
Overview
P6KE7.5CHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 7.13–7.88 V 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 AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE7.5CHE3/54 datasheet, P6KE7.5CHE3/54 pinout, P6KE7.5CHE3/54 application, or P6KE7.5CHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, IPPM capability under system-level surge profiles (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a), thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested (JESD 201 Class 2) matte tin plating for high-reliability soldering.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents <1 μA leakage at 6.40 V; during transients exceeding VBR, it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to clamp voltage at ≤11.3 V while diverting up to 53.1 A (10/1000 μs). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low temperature coefficient (0.061 %/°C).
Designed for placement directly across sensitive inputs or supply pins, the P6KE7.5CHE3/54 relies on low incremental surge resistance and fast turn-on to limit transient energy delivered to downstream components. Its 175 °C max junction temperature and derated power dissipation (5.0 W at TL = 75 °C) support operation in thermally constrained automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 7.13–7.88 V at 10 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 500 μA, ensuring no false triggering on 5 V systems |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 11.3 V at 53.1 A - limits peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 600 W surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - sustains standardized automotive/lightning surge waveforms without degradation |
| Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance | 20 °C/W - enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper pour or lead frame, critical for repetitive surge handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0A | DO-214AA package; lower 600 W rating but tighter VBR tolerance (5% vs. ±5%); RθJA = 40 °C/W vs. 75 °C/W | Better suited for surface-mount layouts with limited board space; less effective in high-ambient thermal environments | Select SMBJ7.0A when SMT assembly is mandatory and thermal management via copper pour is impractical. |
| 1.5KE7.5A | Same DO-204AC package; identical VBR/VC specs but rated for 1500 W (10/1000 μs); higher IFSM (200 A vs. 100 A) | Overqualified for 600 W use cases; larger junction capacitance may affect high-speed signal integrity | Choose 1.5KE7.5A only when legacy designs require backward compatibility with higher-power surge standards. |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A and 1.5KE7.5A, the P6KE7.5CHE3/54 delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and thermal performance in through-hole DO-15 form factor-making it preferred for automotive and industrial applications where reliability under thermal stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for P6KE7.5CHE3/54?
The P6KE7.5CHE3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports robust design margins for 5 V systems.
Is P6KE7.5CHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6KE7.5CHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-resistant matte tin plating. Its −55 °C to +175 °C operating range, 600 W surge capability, and UL 94 V-0 package make it suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive modules including body control units and sensor interfaces.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix mean in P6KE7.5CHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The "/54" denotes packaging in 13-inch paper tape and reel with 4000 units per reel - standard for automated SMT and through-hole assembly lines.
How does P6KE7.5CHE3/54 compare to bi-directional variants like P6KE7.5CHE3/54CA?
The P6KE7.5CHE3/54 is uni-directional (cathode-banded), intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Bi-directional versions like P6KE7.5CHE3/54CA omit the band and protect AC or bidirectional signals but exhibit identical VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings - selection depends solely on circuit polarity requirements.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE7.5CHE3/54 under surge conditions?
The P6KE7.5CHE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 11.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 53.1 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, enabling precise overvoltage margining for 5 V logic and analog circuits.
