Product details
Overview
P4KE82CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 82 V nominal breakdown voltage, 400 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 μs, clamping voltage of 118 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current, and operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range - deployed in automotive power supply input stages and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE82CH datasheet, P4KE82CH pinout, P4KE82CH application, or P4KE82CH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-41 package compatibility, low leakage (<1 μA at 66.4 V), fast clamping response (<1.0 ps), and precise 73.8–90.2 V breakdown tolerance under 1 mA test current.
Technical Context
The P4KE82CH implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for unidirectional transient suppression. Its clamping behavior is defined by a tightly controlled VBR range (73.8–90.2 V) at 1 mA, with a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 118 V at 3.5 A IPPM under 10/1000 μs waveform - ensuring predictable overvoltage limiting during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
Thermal performance is rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and derated linearly above 25 °C ambient. The device meets UL 94V-0 flammability, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance - confirming suitability for automotive-grade PCB environments requiring long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 73.8–90.2 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable turn-on during transients |
| VWM | 66.4 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM=3.5 A | 118 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPK | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standard |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - ultra-low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinet deployment |
| Package | DO-204AL (DO-41) - industry-standard axial leaded package with tin-plated leads per J-STD-002 |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking for polarity identification. Leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002; case meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Leakage <1 μA at 66.4 V | Enables use in always-on circuits (e.g., CAN bus wake-up lines) without measurable standby current penalty |
| Response time <1.0 ps | Activates faster than most microsecond-scale transients, preventing voltage overshoot before protection engages |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-fed ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 16750-2) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power rail upstream of LDOs and MCU power pins.

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 SMAJ82A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 82 V nominal, 118 V clamping, but rated for 400 W at 10/1000 μs - identical electrical specs but surface-mount only | Requires PCB redesign for SMT vs. through-hole DO-41; unsuitable for legacy through-hole assemblies | Select when migrating to SMT production or space-constrained layouts; verify thermal pad design for 1 W steady-state dissipation |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE82A | Higher 1.5 kW peak power rating; same VBR (73.8–90.2 V), but larger DO-201AD package and 125 V clamping at 12 A IPPM | Over-specified for 400 W needs; higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 80 V-rated downstream devices | Choose only if system-level surge testing requires >400 W headroom; otherwise, P4KE82CH offers better cost and board space efficiency |
Compared with SMAJ82A and 1.5KE82A, the P4KE82CH delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, through-hole DO-41 compatibility, precise 118 V clamping, and 400 W surge capacity - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial through-hole designs where reliability and legacy assembly compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4KE82CH at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4KE82CH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 118 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.5 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across manufacturing lots and temperature extremes, ensuring consistent overvoltage protection for downstream 80 V-rated components in the P4KE82CH-protected circuit.
Is P4KE82CH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P4KE82CH is AEC-Q101 qualified - verified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD testing. Its −55 °C to +175 °C operating range, DO-41 mechanical robustness, and UL recognition make it appropriate for engine control modules, body electronics, and infotainment power supplies where P4KE82CH is deployed as primary surge protection.
How does the P4KE82CH differ from the P4KE82A variant?
The P4KE82CH is the AEC-Q101 qualified version of the P4KE82 series, indicated by the "H" suffix in the ordering code. Electrically, P4KE82CH shares identical parameters with P4KE82A - including VBR (77.9–86.1 V), VWM (70.1 V), and VC (113 V) - but undergoes additional automotive stress screening. The "CH" suffix confirms P4KE82CH meets automotive quality and traceability requirements beyond standard commercial-grade P4KE82A.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for P4KE82CH at its working voltage?
The P4KE82CH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1 μA when biased at its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 66.4 V. This ultra-low leakage is measured at 25 °C and remains below 5 μA up to 125 °C - critical for maintaining accuracy in always-on sensor bias networks and minimizing quiescent power loss in battery-powered systems using P4KE82CH.
Can P4KE82CH be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - P4KE82CH is unidirectional. Its cathode-band marking and internal construction support only anode-to-cathode forward conduction and reverse avalanche clamping. For bidirectional protection, the P4KE82C variant (with "C" suffix) must be selected; it provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and is explicitly designated for ESD and EFT protection on AC-coupled or floating signal lines where P4KE82CH would be electrically inappropriate.
