Product details
Overview
MADA3KP6.0CA from Microsemi is a bidirectional 3000 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed for high-reliability surge protection in power and signal lines. It features a 6.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 10.3 V clamping voltage at 291.3 A peak pulse current, and operates from −55 °C to +150 °C. It is used in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces requiring IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection with 12 Ω source impedance.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP6.0CA datasheet, MADA3KP6.0CA pinout, MADA3KP6.0CA application, or MADA3KP6.0CA equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, 10.3 V clamping at 291.3 A, 6.0 V working voltage, RoHS-compliant e3 marking, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening eligibility for aerospace-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MADA3KP6.0CA is a surface-mount TVS array built using silicon avalanche diode technology with void-free thermosetting epoxy packaging rated UL94V-0. Its bidirectional construction enables symmetrical clamping on both polarities without external circuitry, supporting protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths.
It delivers 3000 W peak pulse power per IEC61000-4-5 10/1000 µs waveform, with <5 ns response time and <100 ps transition from 0 V to V(BR) min. Standby leakage is ≤1000 µA at 6.0 V, and it undergoes 100% surge testing per lot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 6.0 V - maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| V(BR) min/max | 6.67–7.37 V @ 10 mA - ensures reliable avalanche turn-on before system damage occurs |
| VC @ IPP | 10.3 V @ 291.3 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during 10/1000 µs transients |
| PPP | 3000 W @ 10/1000 µs - defines maximum single-event surge energy absorption capability |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1000 µA - low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-backed or low-power monitoring circuits |
| TJ/TSTG | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including automotive under-hood and industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
Package: Surface-mount DO-214AB (SMC) molded epoxy case, 5 g weight, UL94V-0 rated, with tin-lead or matte-tin plating. Pin 1 identified by dot marking; odd-numbered pins are cathodes per TVS element.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode of Channel 1 | Connected to protected line side; conducts when voltage exceeds V(BR) in reverse bias |
| Pin 2 | Anode of Channel 1 / Cathode of Channel 2 | Common center tap enabling bidirectional clamping between Pins 1 and 3 |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Channel 2 | Connected to reference or ground; completes symmetrical transient path for AC signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional architecture | Enables single-device protection of AC, differential, or floating signal lines without polarity awareness |
| 3000 W 10/1000 µs rating | Meets IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 requirements with 12 Ω source impedance for telecom and industrial ports |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Supports high-reliability programs requiring wafer lot traceability, 3σ ID screening, and conformance inspection |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and bake-out prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and risk |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Telecom Line Interface |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0CA | 600 W PPP rating, same VWM and bidirectional polarity, DO-214AA package | Lower surge capacity; suitable only for IEC61000-4-2/4-4, not Class 4 lightning | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller SMB footprint and 3000 W is unnecessary |
| 1.5KE6.8CA | 1500 W PPP, axial-leaded DO-15 package, higher V(BR) range (7.56–8.4 V) | Through-hole mounting; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening and moisture Level 1 compliance | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where reflow compatibility and high-reliability screening are not required |
Compared with SMBJ6.0CA and 1.5KE6.8CA, the MADA3KP6.0CA provides triple the surge power handling, surface-mount compatibility, and military-grade screening options-making it optimal for new industrial and aerospace designs demanding robust, verified reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MADA3KP6.0CA at its rated peak pulse current?
The MADA3KP6.0CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.3 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 291.3 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The MADA3KP6.0CA maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is MADA3KP6.0CA suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the MADA3KP6.0CA is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection when tested with a 12 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of the RF01243 datasheet. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 10.3 V clamping voltage ensure compliance under this test condition. The MADA3KP6.0CA must be applied with appropriate PCB layout and series impedance to meet full system-level certification.
What does the 'C' suffix in MADA3KP6.0CA indicate?
The 'C' suffix in MADA3KP6.0CA denotes bidirectional polarity, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. This is implemented via a back-to-back diode configuration inside the DO-214AB package. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., MADA3KP6.0A), the MADA3KP6.0CA requires no external polarity consideration during placement and is ideal for AC-coupled or differential signal lines.
Does MADA3KP6.0CA require dry packing or baking before SMT assembly?
No, the MADA3KP6.0CA has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry pack and does not require pre-reflow baking. This eliminates process steps and reduces risk of popcorn cracking during reflow. The MADA3KP6.0CA's void-free epoxy body and matte-tin plating further enhance solderability and thermal reliability in standard lead-free reflow profiles.
Can MADA3KP6.0CA be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?
The MADA3KP6.0CA is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, it is eligible for optional MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening-including lot traceability, 3σ standby current screening, and conformance inspection-which satisfies many high-reliability automotive Tier 1 requirements beyond AEC-Q200. For production automotive use, users should confirm screening level and test reports with Aetrix Electronics. The MADA3KP6.0CA's −55 °C to +150 °C operating range supports under-hood deployment.
