Product details
Overview
P4KE82H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 82 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 73.8 V / 90.2 V at 1 mA), 66.4 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 118 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive lighting control modules to safeguard microcontroller I/O against load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the P4KE82H datasheet, P4KE82H pinout, P4KE82H application, or P4KE82H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-41 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints, and leakage current <1 µA at 66.4 V - critical for low-power battery-backed systems and ESD-sensitive sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The P4KE82H operates as a silicon avalanche diode, leveraging controlled reverse-biased breakdown to clamp transient voltages above its VWM while maintaining high impedance below that threshold. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased circuits where forward conduction must be blocked except during surge events.
It delivers sub-nanosecond response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR) and low dynamic impedance, ensuring rapid energy diversion before downstream ICs experience overstress. The device is rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, meeting under-hood automotive thermal requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 66.4 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping onset. |
| VBR @ 1 mA | 73.8 V (min) to 90.2 V (max) - Breakdown voltage range at test current; ensures consistent clamping initiation across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 118 V at 3.5 A - Maximum voltage seen across terminals during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case stress on protected ICs. |
| PPK | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per standard 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 µA - Reverse leakage at working voltage; critical for minimizing quiescent current in always-on automotive modules. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs) without derating. |
| Package | DO-204AL (DO-41) - Industry-standard axial-leaded package with tin-plated leads; compatible with wave soldering and manual rework. |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AL (DO-41) package: axial-leaded, glass-passivated silicon junction, cathode indicated by band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node; completes clamping path during reverse surge. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR relative to anode. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A | Surface-mount SMB package; 85 V standoff; 100 W rating (lower than P4KE82H's 400 W) | Used where board space is constrained and surge energy is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (0.5 kV) | Select SMBJ85A only if peak pulse power requirement is ≤100 W and SMT assembly is mandatory. |
| 1.5KE82A | Same DO-41 package; 82 V nominal; 1500 W rating but higher clamping voltage (137 V vs. 118 V) | Preferred for higher-energy transients (e.g., MIL-STD-1275E) where tighter clamping is less critical than energy absorption | Choose 1.5KE82A when system-level testing requires >400 W surge margin and 137 V clamping is acceptable for downstream components. |
Compared with SMBJ85A and 1.5KE82A, the P4KE82H uniquely balances 400 W surge capacity, 118 V clamping, and AEC-Q101 qualification in a through-hole DO-41 package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding automotive modules requiring proven field reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4KE82H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The P4KE82H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 118 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the highest voltage the device allows across its terminals during surge conduction - a critical parameter for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The P4KE82H achieves this while maintaining low dynamic impedance and sub-nanosecond response.
Is the P4KE82H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4KE82H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its part number. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for under-hood and cabin applications such as body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power supplies. Its –55 °C to +175 °C operating range further confirms automotive-grade thermal resilience.
What does the "H" suffix in P4KE82H signify?
The "H" suffix in P4KE82H denotes AEC-Q101 qualification - a globally recognized stress-test standard for discrete semiconductors used in automotive electronics. This designation confirms that the P4KE82H has passed accelerated reliability tests covering high-temperature operation, humidity resistance, and mechanical durability. It is not merely a packaging variant; the "H" version undergoes additional screening and lot-level validation beyond standard P4KE82 devices.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the P4KE82H at its working voltage?
The P4KE82H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1 µA at its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 66.4 V, tested at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems such as vehicle telematics or smart sensor nodes. The specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range, supporting reliable performance in battery-powered applications where quiescent current directly impacts runtime.
Can the P4KE82H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the P4KE82H is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. Its electrical characteristics - including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and polarity marking - apply only in reverse-biased mode. For bidirectional protection, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the P4KE82CA variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions. Using P4KE82H in AC or bipolar signal paths risks failure due to forward conduction during negative half-cycles.
