Product details
Overview
P6KE7.5-E3/54 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 7.13 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.40 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 11.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 53.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE7.5-E3/54 datasheet, P6KE7.5-E3/54 pinout, P6KE7.5-E3/54 application, or P6KE7.5-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under 53.1 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), RoHS-compliant DO-204AC (DO-15) packaging, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 7.13–7.88 V breakdown range at 10 mA test current. Its low 11.3 V clamping voltage at 53.1 A ensures downstream ICs (e.g., microcontrollers, CAN transceivers) remain below absolute maximum ratings during ESD or load-dump transients.
Designed for surface-mount or through-hole assembly in DO-204AC packages, it delivers 600 W surge handling with 10/1000 µs waveform, 0.061 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and 1000 µA max reverse leakage at 6.40 V - enabling stable protection across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperatures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.13 V / 7.88 V at 10 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1000 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 11.3 V at 53.1 A - limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case 600 W surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability with standard 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - enables effective heat transfer from junction to lead, supporting sustained surge duty cycles |
| TJ range | -55 °C to +175 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-temp industrial environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1000 µA max - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity on low-power sensor lines |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Cathode indicated by color band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0A | DO-214AA package; 7.0 V VWM, 11.2 V VC @ 53.3 A; 600 W rating; same 10/1000 µs waveform | Surface-mount only; higher board density but requires reflow profile validation | Select SMBJ7.0A for space-constrained PCBs where through-hole assembly is not feasible |
| 1.5KE7.5A | DO-201AD package; identical VBR/VC specs; 1500 W peak power; larger footprint and thermal mass | Higher surge margin for infrequent but extreme events (e.g., lightning-induced surges in outdoor telecom) | Choose 1.5KE7.5A when legacy designs require backward-compatible pin spacing or higher single-pulse robustness |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A and 1.5KE7.5A, P6KE7.5-E3/54 offers optimal balance of through-hole manufacturability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and cost-effective 600 W protection - making it preferred for automotive and industrial control boards requiring proven reliability and easy hand-soldering or wave soldering.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE7.5-E3/54 under rated surge conditions?
The P6KE7.5-E3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.3 V when subjected to its rated 53.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees that protected circuitry remains within safe operating limits during transient events. The P6KE7.5-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is P6KE7.5-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6KE7.5-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, glass-passivated junction, and validated performance under load-dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) stress confirm suitability. The P6KE7.5-E3/54 meets automotive reliability requirements without derating in standard mounting configurations.
How does the VWM of P6KE7.5-E3/54 compare to its nominal voltage rating?
The P6KE7.5-E3/54 has a maximum standoff voltage (VWM) of 6.40 V, which is intentionally set below its nominal 7.5 V designation to ensure reliable blocking during normal operation. This 6.40 V rating allows up to 1000 µA reverse leakage at room temperature while guaranteeing no conduction until the 7.13–7.88 V breakdown range is reached. The P6KE7.5-E3/54 thus provides safe margin for 5 V systems with typical tolerances.
What package type and lead finish does P6KE7.5-E3/54 use?
P6KE7.5-E3/54 uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The E3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. This package supports both wave and hand soldering at up to 275 °C for 10 seconds, as specified in the Vishay datasheet for P6KE7.5-E3/54.
Can P6KE7.5-E3/54 be used in bi-directional configurations?
No, P6KE7.5-E3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bi-directional variants in the same family use the "CA" suffix (e.g., P6KE7.5CA). Using P6KE7.5-E3/54 in bi-directional applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing failure. For symmetric protection, select the designated P6KE7.5CA or equivalent bi-directional part instead of P6KE7.5-E3/54.
