Product details
Overview
P4KE130C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power supplies and interface circuits. It features a 130V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 117–143V at 1mA), 105V working stand-off voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤187V at 2.2A peak pulse current, and operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE130C datasheet, P4KE130C pinout, P4KE130C application, or P4KE130C equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and lightning surge immunity in automotive power rails, industrial sensor interfaces, and AC/DC adapter input stages where low leakage (<1μA @ VWM) and fast sub-nanosecond response are critical.
Technical Context
The P4KE130C employs an avalanche breakdown mechanism optimized for unidirectional clamping, with a maximum clamping voltage of 187V at 2.2A (10/1000μs waveform). Its low dynamic impedance ensures consistent voltage limiting during fast transients, and its 0.107%/°C VBR temperature coefficient enables stable performance across wide thermal ranges.
Designed for DO-204AL (DO-41) axial leaded packaging, it supports through-hole mounting on PCBs with 5×5 mm copper pads per terminal for optimal thermal dissipation. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and complies with UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 105 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins; defines safe DC bias margin. |
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 117–143 V - Breakdown voltage range at 1mA test current; guarantees reliable avalanche initiation within spec. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤187 V at 2.2 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000μs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum transient exposure. |
| PPK | 400 W - Peak pulse power rating; defines single-event surge energy handling capability. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 μA - Reverse leakage at working voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in high-ambient environments like engine bays. |
| Package | DO-204AL (DO-41) - Standard axial-leaded package with tin-plated leads; compatible with wave soldering per J-STD-002. |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package with cathode band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a single band indicating the cathode terminal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 130V VBR, 104V VWM, 187V VC @ 2.2A; 400W rating; bidirectional variant also available. | Surface-mount only; requires rework of layout; lower thermal resistance than DO-41 but less mechanical robustness. | Select for space-constrained PCBs where SMT assembly is standard and thermal pad access is available. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE130A | Higher power (1500W), same 130V VBR, 105V VWM, 187V VC; DO-201AE (DO-27) package; larger footprint and higher surge margin. | Over-specified for 400W use cases; better suited for repeated surge exposure or harsher environments (e.g., telecom). | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 or when long-term reliability under cyclic stress is prioritized. |

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P4KE130C?
The P4KE130C is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-band marking on the DO-41 package. It conducts only during positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode, making it ideal for DC rail protection where reverse voltage blocking is required. This differs from bidirectional variants like P4KE130CA, which suppress surges in both directions.
Does the P4KE130C meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base P4KE130C is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the P4KE130CH variant (with "H" suffix) is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101 Rev D. That version undergoes stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling, and is documented in TSC's N2104 revision as meeting automotive reliability requirements.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4KE130C under surge conditions?
The P4KE130C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 187 V when subjected to a 10/1000μs waveform peak pulse current of 2.2 A. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
How does the P4KE130C compare to the P4KE130A in terms of electrical performance?
The P4KE130C has a VBR range of 117–143 V and VWM of 105 V, while the P4KE130A offers tighter VBR (124–137 V) and slightly higher VWM (111 V). Both share identical 400W PPK, 187V VC, and thermal ratings. The "A" suffix denotes tighter tolerance, beneficial where precise clamping threshold control is needed.
Can the P4KE130C be used in bidirectional surge protection applications?
No-the P4KE130C is strictly unidirectional. For bidirectional protection, the P4KE130CA variant must be used. That part exhibits symmetrical breakdown behavior in both polarities and is specified with identical VBR min/max values for forward and reverse directions, enabling AC line or data-line protection without polarity concerns.
