Product details
Overview
MADA3KP6.0AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array with 6.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 10.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 291.3 A peak pulse current. It provides secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω, Class 1–4), ESD/EFT suppression per IEC61000-4-2/4-4, and inductive switching transient protection in power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP6.0AE3 datasheet, MADA3KP6.0AE3 pinout, MADA3KP6.0AE3 application, or MADA3KP6.0AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.0 V working standoff, sub-100 ps response time, RoHS-compliant e3 termination, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with high-reliability industrial and aerospace systems requiring MIL-PRF-19500 screening options.
Technical Context
The MADA3KP6.0AE3 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode-based TVS array optimized for fast transient suppression in DC power rails. Its clamping action begins at 6.67 V minimum breakdown and limits voltage to ≤10.3 V under 291.3 A 10/1000 µs surge, delivering 3000 W peak pulse power capability.
It features a thermoset epoxy package rated UL94V-0, tin-lead or matte-tin terminations compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and polarity defined by odd-numbered pins as cathodes. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0A | 600 W PPP rating, SMA package, 10.3 V VC @ 32.4 A IPP - lower surge capacity and smaller footprint | Best suited for space-constrained consumer electronics with lower-energy threat profiles | Select SMAJ6.0A only when 3000 W rating is unnecessary and PCB area is critical |
| 1.5KE6.8A | 1500 W PPP, DO-201 package, 10.5 V VC @ 143 A IPP - axial lead, lower power, higher thermal resistance | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy designs lacking SMT infrastructure | Choose 1.5KE6.8A if board assembly uses wave soldering or requires manual repair accessibility |
Compared with SMAJ6.0A and 1.5KE6.8A, the MADA3KP6.0AE3 delivers double the surge power of the latter and five times that of the former, while supporting high-reliability screening and surface-mount automation - making it optimal for industrial and aerospace power rail hardening where sustained surge immunity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of the MADA3KP6.0AE3?
The MADA3KP6.0AE3 has a rated reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 6.0 V - the maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage it can block without entering conduction. This value ensures compatibility with 5 V logic rails and low-voltage DC systems while maintaining margin above nominal operating voltage. The device begins avalanche breakdown at a minimum of 6.67 V, providing predictable, repeatable clamping behavior across temperature and life.
Does the MADA3KP6.0AE3 meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge protection?
Yes, the MADA3KP6.0AE3 is validated for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance across Class 1–4, and with 12 Ω and 2 Ω sources for specified classes. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 10.3 V clamping voltage at 291.3 A enable compliance with the 4 kV test level for Class 4 when used with appropriate PCB layout and grounding. Full test data is documented in Microsemi's RF01243 Rev B.
Is the MADA3KP6.0AE3 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in MADA3KP6.0AE3 explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device contains no lead in its terminations and meets all restricted substance thresholds. Its thermoset epoxy body is also UL94V-0 rated and halogen-free, supporting environmentally aligned industrial and medical product certifications.
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of the MADA3KP6.0AE3?
The MADA3KP6.0AE3 supports continuous operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. This wide range enables deployment in under-hood automotive, outdoor telecom enclosures, and industrial control cabinets without derating below full 3000 W surge capability until above 25 °C ambient - as confirmed by the derating curve in Figure 3 of RF01243 Rev B.
Can the MADA3KP6.0AE3 be used for ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2?
Yes, the MADA3KP6.0AE3 is qualified for ESD suppression per IEC61000-4-2 due to its <100 ps response time and low clamping voltage. It limits 8 kV contact discharge transients to ≤10.3 V at the protected node, preventing damage to sensitive interfaces like RS-485 transceivers or microcontroller I/O. Its performance is verified in system-level testing referenced in Microsemi application notes for industrial port protection.
