Product details
Overview
P4KE220A A0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power supplies and industrial control inputs. It features a 220V nominal breakdown voltage (209–231 VBR @ 1 mA), 185 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤328 V at 1.3 A peak pulse current, and uses DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package for PCB through-hole mounting in AC/DC front-end surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE220A A0G datasheet, P4KE220A A0G pinout, P4KE220A A0G application, or P4KE220A A0G equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC's absolute maximum rating, VWM derating for temperature drift, 10/1000 µs waveform compliance, and DO-41 mechanical fit in legacy power entry designs.
Technical Context
The P4KE220A A0G operates as a silicon avalanche diode with fast response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR) and low dynamic impedance, enabling effective suppression of high-energy transients such as lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5) and inductive switching spikes. Its unidirectional polarity ensures DC-biased circuit compatibility without reverse conduction path concerns.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, it delivers 1.3 A maximum peak pulse current (IPPM) while maintaining ≤328 V clamping voltage (VC). Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +175 °C, supporting operation in high-ambient industrial environments without thermal derating below 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT | 209–231 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 185 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤328 V at 1.3 A - clamping voltage limiting stress on downstream components during surge events |
| PPK | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 |
| IPPM | 1.3 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely clamps without failure |
| TJMAX | +175 °C - enables use in high-temperature power supply enclosures and motor drive cabinets |
| Package | DO-204AL (DO-41) - industry-standard axial leaded package with 0.300 g mass and UL 94V-0 molding compound |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking for unidirectional polarity. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to circuit ground or return path; establishes forward bias direction for clamping |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., AC L/N or DC+); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features

| Telecom Power Feeding Protection | Renewable Energy Inverter DC Link |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding PoE midspan injectors and remote radio unit power feeds against load dump and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed at DC input stage to clamp transients up to ±100 V without false triggering during normal 57 V operation. Use Value: 185 V VWM ensures zero leakage interference with IEEE 802.3bt power negotiation, while 328 V clamping protects 300 V-rated DC-DC controllers. |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection on PV string combiner box outputs feeding central inverters in solar farms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage TVS mounted across positive/negative DC bus to absorb lightning-induced common-mode surges on long string runs. Use Value: 220 V nominal rating matches typical 1000 V DC system derating requirements, and DO-41 package allows direct integration into DIN-rail mount surge modules. |
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 P4KE220A | Identical electrical specs (209–231 VBR, 185 VWM, ≤328 VC), same DO-41 package, but RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free) | No difference in surge clamping performance; lacks IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free certification required for some EU industrial equipment | Select when halogen-free compliance is not mandated and Littelfuse supply chain preference applies |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE220A | Higher 1.5 kW peak power rating, larger DO-201AE package (5.2 mm body vs. DO-41's 2.7 mm), 20% higher clamping voltage (≤394 V) | Suitable for higher-energy surges but requires PCB layout change; clamping voltage exceeds safe margin for 400 V-rated components | Select only if system-level surge test levels exceed 400 W and board space allows larger footprint |
Compared with P4KE220A A0G, Littelfuse P4KE220A offers identical protection performance with different environmental compliance, while ON Semi 1.5KE220A trades compact DO-41 fit for higher power handling at the cost of increased clamping stress and board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4KE220A A0G under standard 10/1000 µs surge conditions?
The P4KE220A A0G clamps to a maximum of 328 V when subjected to its rated 1.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 µs waveform defined in ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and guarantees voltage limiting for downstream 400 V-rated components. The P4KE220A A0G datasheet specifies this as the worst-case VC parameter, confirmed across production lots.
Is the P4KE220A A0G suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the P4KE220A A0G is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" or "CA" suffix and presence of cathode band marking. It conducts only during positive transients on the cathode relative to anode. For bidirectional protection, select P4KE220CA A0G (if available) or a symmetric bipolar variant - the P4KE220A A0G must not be used in AC-coupled or floating signal lines without external polarity conditioning.
What does the "A0G" suffix indicate in P4KE220A A0G?
The "A0G" suffix in P4KE220A A0G denotes two attributes: "A" specifies tighter 5% tolerance on breakdown voltage (209–231 V vs. 198–242 V for non-A grade), and "0G" indicates green molding compound compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21. It is packaged in ammo box format (3,000 units), distinct from tape-and-reel variants.
How does the P4KE220A A0G perform at elevated ambient temperatures?
The P4KE220A A0G maintains full 400 W surge capability only at TA = 25 °C; its peak power rating derates linearly above this point per Figure 2 in the datasheet, reaching ~200 W at 100 °C. However, its VWM and VBR exhibit +0.108 %/°C temperature coefficient, meaning breakdown shifts upward by ~2.2 V from 25 °C to 125 °C - a critical consideration for margin analysis in high-temp enclosures.
Can the P4KE220A A0G replace older P4KE220 parts in existing designs?
Yes, the P4KE220A A0G is a direct form-fit-function replacement for legacy P4KE220 (non-A, non-G) versions in DO-41 sockets, offering improved 5% VBR tolerance and halogen-free construction. No PCB changes are needed, though designers should verify that the tighter VBR window (209–231 V vs. 198–242 V) does not reduce clamping margin in edge-case surge scenarios where older units may have triggered slightly earlier.
