Product details
Overview
BZW06-213B from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with a working stand-off voltage of 213 V, breakdown voltage range 237–263 V at 1 mA test current, and clamping voltage of 344 V at 2.0 A (10/1000 µs waveform), designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive power electronics and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-213B datasheet, BZW06-213B pinout, BZW06-213B application, or BZW06-213B equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) package, AEC-Q101 qualification (H-grade variant), low dynamic impedance, sub-1 ps response time, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
Technical Context
The BZW06-213B operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with precise voltage clamping during transients. Its 213 V working stand-off voltage ensures stable operation under normal DC bias, while its 344 V clamping voltage at 2.0 A limits downstream circuit stress during 10/1000 µs surges.
It features a thermal resistance of 60 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable power dissipation in constrained PCB layouts. The device maintains <1 µA reverse leakage above 10 V and exhibits a temperature coefficient of 0.110 %/°C for VBR.
Key Specifications

| VC @ IPPM | 344 V @ 2.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Limits peak voltage seen by protected ICs during standard surge events |
| PPK | 600 W - Sustains high-energy transients without failure per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Supports under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ210A | Same DO-214AA package; lower PPK = 600 W but VC = 340 V @ 1.8 A; no AEC-Q101 option | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select SMBJ210A only if AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and board space allows SMB package |
| 1.5KE210A | DO-201AD package; higher PPK = 1500 W but larger footprint; VC = 344 V @ 4.4 A; non-AEC-Q101 | Suitable for high-surge industrial power supplies where thermal mass and layout allow larger case | Choose 1.5KE210A when surge energy exceeds 600 W capability and mechanical constraints permit larger DO-201AD outline |
Compared with SMBJ210A and 1.5KE210A, the BZW06-213B uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 form factor, and precise 213 V standoff in a single offering-enabling drop-in replacement in legacy automotive designs without requalification or layout change.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of BZW06-213B at rated peak pulse current?
The BZW06-213B has a clamping voltage of 344 V at 2.0 A peak pulse current under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees consistent overvoltage limiting behavior across production lots and temperature ranges from –55 °C to +175 °C. The BZW06-213B maintains this clamping performance without derating up to its full 600 W peak power rating.
Is BZW06-213B AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, BZW06-213B is AEC-Q101 qualified when ordered with the "H" suffix (e.g., BZW06-213BH). The base part number BZW06-213B corresponds to the AEC-Q101-compliant version per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering code documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, AC/DC life test, and temperature cycling-making BZW06-213B suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications.
What package type does BZW06-213B use, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
BZW06-213B uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with standardized dimensions: overall length 4.3 mm ±0.3 mm, body diameter 2.5 mm ±0.2 mm, and lead diameter 0.6 mm. The cathode is marked by a band on the body. This package supports manual and automated insertion, meets UL 94V-0 flammability, and provides adequate thermal dissipation for 600 W surge duty cycles when leads are soldered with 9.5 mm length.
How does BZW06-213B differ from BZW06-213?
BZW06-213B is the bidirectional variant, while BZW06-213 is unidirectional-but the provided data confirms BZW06-213B is specified as unidirectional in the BZW06 series table (with VBR min/typ/max listed once, no dual-polarity notation). Per Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation, BZW06-213B is the AEC-Q101 qualified unidirectional version of BZW06-213, sharing identical electrical specs but differing in qualification status and marking.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of BZW06-213B?
The BZW06-213B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175 °C and a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 60 °C/W. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 100 °C/W when mounted with 10 mm lead length. These values enable reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures, provided PCB copper area and airflow meet minimum thermal design guidelines.
