Product details
Overview
SA130AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 130 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA, 209 V clamping voltage (VC) at 2.4 A peak pulse current, and 500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SA130AHE3/54 datasheet, SA130AHE3/54 pinout, SA130AHE3/54 application, or SA130AHE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-15 terminal mapping, real-world protection use cases, and two validated alternative TVS diodes - all aligned to Vishay's official SA130A specification sheet (Doc. #88378, Rev. 27-Sep-2021).
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 μA leakage at 130 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 144–159 V breakdown range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and fast response (<1 ns), while the DO-15 package supports 70 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
The device complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive environments and uses matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102. Its 3.0 W steady-state power dissipation (at TL = 75 °C) and 2.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) are defined per standardized 10/1000 μs waveform per REA and ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets protection threshold for 12 V–48 V DC systems with margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 144 V / 159 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable triggering without premature conduction during line transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 209 V at 2.4 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 500 W transient events; defines worst-case protected node voltage. |
| PPPM | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform; validates suitability for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a automotive load dump suppression. |
| IFSM | 70 A - Non-repetitive forward surge rating (10 ms half-sine); supports high-energy inductive switching events in motor control circuits. |
| TJmax | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature enables operation in under-hood automotive locations and industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 μA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules and low-power sensor interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SA130AHE3/54 is housed in a DO-15 (DO-204AC) axial-leaded package with matte tin-plated terminals. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; polarity must be observed for correct unidirectional clamping orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to system ground or return path; completes clamping loop when transient exceeds VBR. |
| Cathode (banded end) | High-side transient sensing node | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery rail); initiates avalanche conduction upon overvoltage detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD47 - required for engine control units and ADAS power supplies. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 % typical), low leakage drift over time, and resistance to humidity-induced parameter shift. |
| 500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) requirements up to 120 V test level; protects against alternator-induced surges. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., EFT bursts), reducing risk of latch-up in downstream MOSFET drivers. |
| RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix | Indicates AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - mandatory for automotive PCB assembly in Tier 1 supply chains. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Digital I/O Protection |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between battery rail and ground, clamping spikes within nanoseconds. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤209 V during 500 W transients, preventing damage to 36 V-rated DC-DC controllers and CAN transceivers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input channels on programmable logic controllers exposed to relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on each isolated input channel, absorbing inductive kick energy before reaching optocoupler inputs. Use Value: 1.0 μA leakage at 130 V avoids false triggering; 2.4 A IPPM handles repetitive 100 V/1 A coil transients without degradation. |
| Telecom DC Power Feeds | Motor Drive Gate Driver Supply Rails |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding -48 V telecom rectifier outputs from lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabinet feeds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on bulk DC output, coordinated with secondary MOVs and filtering. Use Value: 175 °C TJmax sustains operation in sealed cabinets; DO-15 axial form factor allows through-hole mounting near entry connectors. |
Use Scenario: Clamping gate drive supply (e.g., +15 V bias) against Miller-induced voltage spikes during IGBT switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS across gate driver VCC–GND, triggered before internal LDO overvoltage shutdown. Use Value: Sub-ns response time prevents gate oxide overstress; 209 V VC ensures gate driver ICs (e.g., IR2110) remain within absolute max ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130A-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but in SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package; 400 W PPPM vs. 500 W. | Used where board space is constrained and reflow assembly is preferred; lower pulse power reduces margin for severe load dump. | Select when footprint reduction and automated assembly outweigh peak power headroom needs. |
| 1.5KE130A (ON Semiconductor) | DO-201AE package; identical VWM = 130 V, VBR = 144–159 V, but higher VC = 219 V at 2.3 A and 1500 W PPPM (with 10/1000 μs). | Higher clamping voltage increases risk to downstream 150 V-rated components; suited for less sensitive legacy systems. | Choose only if existing designs require DO-201AE mechanical compatibility and higher pulse energy is prioritized over tighter clamping. |
Compared with SMAJ130A-E3/52 and 1.5KE130A, SA130AHE3/54 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 500 W pulse capability, and 209 V clamping in the rugged DO-15 through-hole package - making it preferred for new automotive and industrial designs requiring proven reliability and precise voltage limiting.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SA130AHE3/54 and under what test condition?
The maximum clamping voltage of SA130AHE3/54 is 209 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 2.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform per REA and ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value represents the worst-case voltage seen by protected circuitry during a 500 W transient event, and is confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet (Doc. #88378, Rev. 27-Sep-2021, page 2).
Is SA130AHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes, SA130AHE3/54 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per JESD47, and is rated for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C - making it appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies.
What is the meaning of the "HE3" suffix in SA130AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix in SA130AHE3/54 denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It distinguishes this grade from commercial "E3" variants (e.g., SA130A-E3/54), confirming enhanced reliability for automotive and industrial applications where long-term solder joint integrity and environmental robustness are mandatory.
How does SA130AHE3/54 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SA130CA?
SA130AHE3/54 is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement, enabling asymmetric clamping on positive-only rails. In contrast, SA130CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric breakdown in both directions - used for AC lines or differential signal pairs. Their VBR, VC, and PPPM values are identical, but SA130AHE3/54 cannot replace SA130CA in AC-coupled applications without circuit redesign.
What is the steady-state power dissipation rating for SA130AHE3/54, and how is it applied in thermal design?
SA130AHE3/54 has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 3.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, per Figure 5 in the datasheet. In practice, this rating guides thermal layout: for ambient temperatures above 75 °C, linear derating applies (e.g., ~20 mW/°C above 75 °C), and PCB copper area around leads must be sufficient to maintain TL ≤ 75 °C during continuous leakage or low-duty-cycle transients.
