Product details
Overview
BZW06-85 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 85.5V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 95–105V breakdown voltage (VBR @ 1mA), 137V clamping voltage at 4.4A (10/1000μs), and operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range - deployed in ECU power input stages against load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-85 datasheet, BZW06-85 pinout, BZW06-85 application, or BZW06-85 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package, AEC-Q101 qualification (BZW06-85H variant), low dynamic impedance, sub-1ps response time, and verified clamping performance under 10/1000μs surge waveforms.
Technical Context
The BZW06-85 functions as a unidirectional avalanche diode that enters conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR (min 95V), clamping transient energy into the PCB ground path before sensitive downstream circuitry is damaged. Its thermal design supports 175°C max junction temperature and 60°C/W junction-to-lead resistance, enabling reliable operation under sustained ambient heat in engine bay environments.
It delivers 600W peak pulse power per 10/1000μs waveform with <1μA leakage above 10V, and exhibits a temperature coefficient of 0.106%/°C for VBR drift compensation in wide-temperature designs. Polarity is marked by cathode band; leads are pure tin-plated and J-STD-002 solderable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 85.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR @ 1mA | 95–105 V - Breakdown voltage range defining reliable avalanche onset threshold |
| VCL @ 4.4A (10/1000μs) | 137 V - Clamped voltage during 600W surge, limiting stress on protected ICs |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability per standard 10/1000μs waveform |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +175°C - Enables deployment in under-hood automotive locations without derating |
| RθJL | 60 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance supporting PCB copper pour heat sinking |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Minimal leakage current preserving low-power standby integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A (Bourns) | DO-214AA package; 85V VWM, 137V VCL @ 4.4A; same 600W rating but higher RθJA (110°C/W) | Suitable for surface-mount layouts; less effective in high-ambient thermal environments without heatsinking | Select when board space is constrained and reflow assembly is preferred over axial through-hole |
| P6KE85A (ON Semiconductor) | DO-15 package identical to BZW06-85; 85V VWM, 137V VCL @ 4.4A; 600W rating; no AEC-Q101 option | Lacks automotive qualification; acceptable for industrial/commercial use where qualification is not mandated | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications requiring identical mechanical fit and electrical performance |
Compared with SMBJ85A and P6KE85A, the BZW06-85 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and lower RθJL (60°C/W vs. 110°C/W), making it preferable for thermally demanding automotive deployments where axial lead thermal conduction is leveraged.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZW06-85 under a 10/1000μs surge?
The BZW06-85 has a maximum clamping voltage (VCL) of 137 V when subjected to a 4.4 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components such as LDOs or microcontrollers in the BZW06-85 protected circuit.
Is the BZW06-85 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the BZW06-85H variant is AEC-Q101 qualified, meeting stress test requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD. The base BZW06-85 meets all electrical and thermal specs required for under-hood ECU and body control module protection, though only the "H" suffix denotes formal qualification.
What package type does the BZW06-85 use, and is it through-hole or surface-mount?
The BZW06-85 uses the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package, which is a through-hole mount configuration. Its leads are pure tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards, supporting both wave and hand-soldering processes in production and repair workflows involving the BZW06-85.
How does the temperature coefficient affect the BZW06-85's breakdown voltage?
The BZW06-85 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.106 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At 125°C, VBR rises ~10.6% above its 25°C value - a critical factor when designing for worst-case clamping in high-ambient environments where the BZW06-85 operates near its 175°C TJMAX.
Can the BZW06-85 replace the P6KE85A in an existing design?
The BZW06-85 shares identical DO-15 packaging, VWM (85.5 V), VBR (95–105 V), and VCL (137 V @ 4.4 A) with P6KE85A, enabling direct mechanical and electrical replacement. However, only the BZW06-85H variant carries AEC-Q101 qualification - if automotive compliance is required, the standard BZW06-85 should be verified per application context before substitution.
