Product details
Overview
SA130CA-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, rated for 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 209 V clamping voltage (VC) at 2.4 A peak pulse current, and 500 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SA130CA-E3/54 datasheet, SA130CA-E3/54 pinout, SA130CA-E3/54 application, or SA130CA-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and 2.4 A IPPM rating under standardized surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities due to its bidirectional construction, enabling suppression of positive and negative voltage transients without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR and low leakage (<1.0 μA at 130 V), while the DO-15 package supports through-hole mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
The device delivers 500 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above 25 °C per Figure 2, and maintains clamping performance up to TJ = 175 °C. Its incremental surge resistance is minimized to limit voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients typical of relay coil switching and ESD events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package; 600 W PPPM rating | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better thermal dissipation in compact designs | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is preferred over through-hole |
| P6SMB130CA | Identical electrical specs and DO-214AA package; manufactured by multiple vendors including Littelfuse and ON Semiconductor | No change in circuit function; differs only in branding, traceability, and minor process variations | Choose for multi-source procurement strategy while maintaining identical clamping behavior |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and P6SMB130CA, SA130CA-E3/54 offers proven through-hole mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments and simplified hand-soldering in prototyping or low-volume production-without requiring layout changes or thermal pad redesign.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SA130CA-E3/54 under maximum rated surge current?
The SA130CA-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 2.4 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 9 in the Vishay datasheet 88378 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The SA130CA-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Is SA130CA-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SA130CA-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified per the Vishay datasheet revision 27-Sep-2021, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems. The SA130CA-E3/54 undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and unbiased HTRB to validate reliability under automotive thermal and vibration profiles. Its DO-15 package provides mechanical robustness ideal for under-hood mounting.
Does SA130CA-E3/54 have polarity markings on the package?
No, SA130CA-E3/54 does not feature polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Unlike unidirectional types (e.g., SA130A), which use a cathode band, the SA130CA-E3/54 functions identically in both directions and therefore carries no visual polarity indicator. This symmetry simplifies board layout and eliminates orientation-dependent assembly errors in circuits requiring dual-polarity transient suppression.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SA130CA-E3/54?
The SA130CA-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table of Vishay document 88378. This rating enables operation in high-temperature environments such as automotive powertrain compartments or industrial motor drives. Derating of peak pulse power begins above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2, and thermal design must ensure that steady-state power dissipation (PD = 3.0 W) does not exceed limits defined by lead temperature (TL).
How does SA130CA-E3/54 differ from unidirectional SA130A-E3/54?
The SA130CA-E3/54 is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities, while SA130A-E3/54 is unidirectional and conducts only during positive surges (cathode-to-anode). The SA130CA-E3/54 has no polarity marking and supports AC-coupled or floating-line protection, whereas SA130A-E3/54 requires correct orientation and includes a cathode band. Both share identical VWM (130 V), VBR (144–159 V), and PPPM (500 W), but SA130A-E3/54 adds IFSM (70 A) and VF (3.5 V) specifications absent in the CA variant.
