Product details
Overview
MADA3KP6.0CAE3 from Microsemi is a bidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed for high-reliability secondary lightning and ESD protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 6.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown range (V(BR)), 10.3 V clamping voltage at 291.3 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP6.0CAE3 datasheet, MADA3KP6.0CAE3 pinout, MADA3KP6.0CAE3 application, or MADA3KP6.0CAE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, IEC61000-4-5 Class 1–4 compliance with 2/12/42 Ω source impedances, 100 ps response time, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and UL94V-0 void-free epoxy packaging.
Technical Context
MADA3KP6.0CAE3 is a monolithic TVS array built using silicon avalanche technology, optimized for fast clamping of high-energy transients without degradation under repeated surge stress. Its bidirectional construction enables symmetrical protection on AC-coupled or floating lines, and its 10/1000 µs waveform rating ensures validated performance against IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning surges.
The device delivers 3000 W peak pulse power at 25 °C with full derating above 25 °C per Figure 3, and exhibits <100 ps response time from 0 V to V(BR) min. Standby leakage is limited to ≤1000 µA at 6.0 V VWM, supporting low-power system monitoring without loading sensitive inputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0CA | 600 W PPP rating, SMA package, 10.5 V VC @ 62.5 A IPP | Limited to Class 2 IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω); insufficient for Class 3/4 telecom or motor drive surges | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W; not suitable for 3000 W requirement. |
| SMCJ6.0CA | 1500 W PPP rating, SMC package, 10.3 V VC @ 145.6 A IPP | Valid for Class 2/3 (42/12 Ω), but fails Class 4 (2 Ω) testing due to lower energy capacity | Use where cost is critical and peak surge energy stays below 1500 W; requires derating above 75 °C. |
Compared with SMAJ6.0CA and SMCJ6.0CA, MADA3KP6.0CAE3 provides double the surge energy handling of SMCJ6.0CA and five times that of SMAJ6.0CA, enabling single-device Class 4 compliance without parallel stacking-reducing BOM count and PCB footprint while maintaining high-reliability screening capability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MADA3KP6.0CAE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
MADA3KP6.0CAE3 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 across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The low VC ensures downstream components remain within safe operating voltage margins.
Is MADA3KP6.0CAE3 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, MADA3KP6.0CAE3 is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection with 42 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of RF01243 Rev B. Its 3000 W peak pulse power and 10.3 V clamping voltage enable compliance up to 2.5 kV open-circuit test levels. The bidirectional configuration supports both polarities required for full Class 4 validation.
How does the "C" suffix in MADA3KP6.0CAE3 indicate device polarity?
The "C" suffix in MADA3KP6.0CAE3 denotes bidirectional construction, meaning the device contains two opposing avalanche diodes in series to provide symmetrical clamping for both positive- and negative-going transients. This differs from unidirectional variants (e.g., MADA3KP6.0AE3), which protect only one polarity and require external biasing for AC applications. The C-suffix devices eliminate need for discrete back-to-back diode pairs.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and reflow profile compatibility for MADA3KP6.0CAE3?
MADA3KP6.0CAE3 is rated MSL Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has unlimited floor life and requires no dry pack or baking prior to reflow. Its thermosetting epoxy body withstands standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, as specified in the Mechanical and Packaging section. This simplifies manufacturing and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk.
Does MADA3KP6.0CAE3 support high-reliability screening per MIL-PRF-19500?
Yes, MADA3KP6.0CAE3 offers optional upscreening per MIL-PRF-19500, including wafer fabrication and assembly lot traceability, 3σ lot norm screening on standby current (ID), and conformance inspections detailed in Micronote 129. While the base MADA3KP6.0CAE3 meets commercial reliability standards, the screened version satisfies stringent aerospace and defense program requirements for lot-level accountability and parametric consistency.
