Product details
Overview
SA130CAHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 130 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 209 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.4 A peak pulse current, 500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SA130CAHE3/54 datasheet, SA130CAHE3/54 pinout, SA130CAHE3/54 application, or SA130CAHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, 175 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 ESD/surge immunity standards.
Technical Context
The SA130CAHE3/54 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling symmetric clamping in both polarities. Its bidirectional architecture eliminates polarity marking and supports AC-coupled or floating-line protection without circuit redesign.
It delivers 500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 μs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and maintains stable clamping performance across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range. The device exhibits 2.4 A peak pulse current rating and 158 °C/W thermal resistance (junction-to-lead), validated per JESD 22-B102 solderability and JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130A-E3/54 | Unidirectional; SMA package (surface-mount); 130 V VWM; 209 V VC at 2.4 A | Requires polarity-aware layout; suited for space-constrained PCBs where reflow assembly is preferred | Select when board area is limited and unidirectional protection suffices |
| P6SMB130CA | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package; bidirectional; identical VWM/VC specs but lower 600 W PPPM rating | Better thermal performance in high-density layouts; higher surge repetition tolerance due to larger die | Choose for higher surge repetition rate (>0.01 % duty cycle) or improved long-term reliability in industrial controls |
Compared with SMAJ130A-E3/54 and P6SMB130CA, the SA130CAHE3/54 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and DO-15 through-hole robustness ideal for high-vibration automotive harnesses, while maintaining identical clamping performance at lower cost-per-unit in medium-volume production.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SA130CAHE3/54 under standard test conditions?
The SA130CAHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at 2.4 A peak pulse current. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SA130CAHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +175 °C).
Is the SA130CAHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SA130CAHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its DO-15 package, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and glass-passivated junction ensure reliability in engine bay and chassis-mounted modules. The SA130CAHE3/54 meets ISO 7637-2 load dump and ISO 10605 ESD requirements when applied per Vishay's recommended layout guidelines.
Does the SA130CAHE3/54 have polarity markings?
No, the SA130CAHE3/54 is a bidirectional TVS diode and carries no polarity marking on its DO-15 package. Both leads are functionally identical, allowing installation in either orientation. This simplifies assembly and eliminates risk of reverse placement - a critical advantage over unidirectional alternatives like the SA130AHE3/54.
What is the peak pulse power rating of the SA130CAHE3/54?
The SA130CAHE3/54 is rated for 500 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without degradation, validated per Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in Vishay document 88378. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient, with full power supported up to 75 °C lead temperature.
How does the SA130CAHE3/54 differ from the base SA130CA-E3/54 variant?
The SA130CAHE3/54 differs from SA130CA-E3/54 solely in whisker testing compliance: HE3 suffix indicates JESD 201 class 2 (vs. class 1A for E3), making it suitable for extended-temperature automotive applications where tin whisker growth mitigation is critical. All electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications - including VWM, VBR, VC, and DO-15 packaging - are identical between the two variants.
