Product details
Overview
P6KE100AG from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 100 V Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel overvoltage clamping in power rails and signal lines. It delivers 600 W peak pulse power (1 ms), clamps at ≤137 V under 4.4 A peak surge current, and exhibits <1 ns response time with <5 µA leakage above 85.5 V standoff voltage - deployed in industrial power supplies and medical equipment input protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE100AG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified clamping voltage at rated IRSM, UL 497B recognition status, axial leaded CASE 17 mechanical compatibility, and steady-state derating behavior above 75°C ambient.
Technical Context
The P6KE100AG operates as a silicon avalanche diode in reverse-biased breakdown mode, triggered by transients exceeding its 85.5 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM). Its 100 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 95–105 V @ 1 mA) ensures precise threshold activation with ±5% tolerance and 0.106 %/°C temperature coefficient.
It sustains non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 4.4 A while limiting voltage to ≤137 V (VRSM), and maintains low zener impedance for stable clamping. The device is rated for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and qualifies for UL Recognition QVGV2 under UL 497B for protector-class applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 95–105 V @ 1 mA - defines precise clamping initiation threshold with ±5% tolerance |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage VRWM | 85.5 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Clamping Voltage VRSM | ≤137 V @ 4.4 A - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case transient |
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W @ 1 ms - energy-handling capacity for short-duration surges per Figure 4 |
| Leakage Current | <5 µA @ 85.5 V - minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact |
| Response Time | <1 ns - enables suppression of fast-rising ESD and lightning-induced transients |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in harsh industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in ON Semiconductor's Surmetic–40 axial-leaded CASE 17 plastic package (JEDEC DO-15 equivalent), with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Leads are corrosion-resistant and readily solderable; mounting position is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) during clamping |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Transient sensing and clamping node | Connected to protected line; conducts when voltage exceeds VRWM to shunt surge current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognized (QVGV2) | Validated for telecom and industrial protector applications - passes Strike Voltage Breakdown, Endurance Conditioning, and Discharge tests |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VRSM/VRWM = 137/85.5 ≈ 1.6 - tighter voltage control than generic TVS diodes (typical >1.8) |
| Thermal Derating Profile | 5 W steady-state power @ TL ≤ 75°C, linearly derated above - enables predictable thermal design in enclosed power supplies |
| Axial Leaded Mechanical Robustness | Void-free thermosetting plastic case with 230°C lead-soldering tolerance - supports wave and hand-soldering without delamination |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Medical Equipment Surge Suppression |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100A | Surface-mount SMB package; 600 W rating; VRWM = 85.5 V; VRSM = 137 V - identical electrical specs but different footprint | Requires PCB re-layout; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration axial-mount environments | Select when automated SMT assembly and space-constrained layouts are prioritized over serviceability and mechanical robustness. |
| P6KE100A | No "G" suffix; same electrical specs and CASE 17 package; differs only in RoHS compliance marking and traceability documentation | Identical functional performance; used interchangeably where Pb-free certification is not mandated | Choose P6KE100AG when full RoHS compliance, UL file traceability, and ON Semiconductor Preferred Device status are required for production release. |
Compared with SMBJ100A and P6KE100A, the P6KE100AG provides identical clamping performance and thermal derating in an axial-leaded, UL-recognized package with enhanced manufacturing traceability - making it optimal for industrial OEMs requiring audit-ready component sourcing and legacy through-hole compatibility.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6KE100AG under maximum rated surge current?
The P6KE100AG clamps to a maximum of 137 V when subjected to its rated peak reverse surge current of 4.4 A (IRSM), measured per the 8.3 ms half-sine waveform defined in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for protected circuit voltage margining in designs using the P6KE100AG.
Does the P6KE100AG have UL recognition, and what does that cover?
Yes, the P6KE100AG carries UL Recognition under file #E116110, classification QVGV2, per UL 497B for protector applications. This certification validates performance in Strike Voltage Breakdown, Endurance Conditioning, Discharge, and Dielectric Withstand testing - confirming suitability for use in telecom, industrial, and medical surge protection circuits where regulatory compliance is mandatory for the P6KE100AG.
How does the P6KE100AG differ from the P6KE100A variant?
The P6KE100AG is the RoHS-compliant, lead-free version of the P6KE100A, with identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and mechanical dimensions in CASE 17. The "G" suffix denotes enhanced traceability, full substance compliance reporting, and inclusion in ON Semiconductor's Preferred Devices program - making the P6KE100AG the recommended choice for new designs requiring environmental compliance and long-term supply assurance.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the P6KE100AG at elevated temperatures?
The P6KE100AG dissipates up to 5 W continuously at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 75°C, with linear derating to zero at 125°C (per Figure 5). At 100°C TL, its steady-state power drops to 2.5 W. This derating behavior must be applied in thermally constrained enclosures where ambient temperature exceeds 75°C - critical for reliable operation of the P6KE100AG in sealed power supplies.
Can the P6KE100AG be used in bidirectional transient protection applications?
No - the P6KE100AG is unidirectional only. For bidirectional protection, ON Semiconductor specifies the P6KE100CA variant, which features symmetrical breakdown in both polarities. Using the P6KE100AG in AC-coupled or floating signal paths risks failure during negative transients, as it lacks reverse conduction capability. Always select the CA-suffix part for true bidirectional clamping requirements involving the P6KE100AG family.
