Product details
Overview
P6KE10AG from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in axial-leaded Surmetic-40 package, designed for parallel clamping of voltage-sensitive circuits. It features a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 8.55 V, clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V at 41 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - ideal for protecting DC power rails in industrial power supplies and medical equipment.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE10AG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥ operating voltage, VC margin relative to IC absolute maximum ratings, surge current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 waveforms, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop protection.
Technical Context
The P6KE10AG operates as a silicon avalanche diode with precise breakdown voltage (VBR = 9.5–10.5 V @ IT = 1 mA) and low leakage (<10 µA @ VRWM). Its thermal resistance (RJL = 20 °C/W) and steady-state power dissipation (PD = 5.0 W @ TL ≤ 25°C) support reliable operation in ambient temperatures from −55°C to +150°C.
Designed for non-repetitive transients per Figure 4 waveform (1 ms, 8.3 ms half-sine), it delivers 600 W peak power with <1 ns turn-on time and temperature coefficient of VBR = 0.073 %/°C - enabling stable clamping across wide temperature ranges without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; must exceed circuit's DC operating voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 9.5 / 10.5 V @ IT = 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset window for predictable clamping threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 14.5 V @ 41 A - clamped voltage during 1 ms transient; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| IPP | 41 A - peak pulse current capability at rated VC; validates compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 kV). |
| Leakage @ VRWM | <10 µA - ensures minimal standby power loss and no interference with high-impedance signal paths. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - enables suppression before ESD or lightning-induced transients propagate into downstream circuitry. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B certified - verified for isolated loop circuit protection, including strike voltage, endurance, and dielectric withstand tests. |
Pinout & Package
Surmetic-40 axial-leaded plastic package (Case 017AA), cathode indicated by polarity band. Leads are solderable per J-STD-020, with max solder temperature 260°C at 1/16″ from case for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink during clamping | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; carries full surge current during transient events. |
| Cathode | Clamped output node | Connected to protected line (e.g., VCC rail); voltage at this terminal is limited to ≤14.5 V during 41 A surges. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Validated for single-event 1 ms transients up to 41 A - exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements. |
| UL 497B certification | Recognized for isolated loop protection (File #E210057), covering strike voltage, endurance, and dielectric testing - not just flammability. |
| Low temperature coefficient (0.073 %/°C) | Ensures VBR drift remains within ±5% over −55°C to +150°C, critical for automotive and industrial environments. |
| Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) packaging | G-suffix denotes lead-free Surmetic-40 construction, compatible with modern reflow and wave soldering processes. |
| ESD robustness (Class 3 HBM) | Withstands >16 kV human-body-model ESD events - suitable for handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly areas. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Surface-mount SMB package (vs. axial); same VRWM (8.55 V) but lower IPP (32.4 A) and higher VC (17.0 V). | Requires PCB redesign; better suited for automated SMT assembly and space-constrained layouts. | Select when board real estate is limited and hand-soldering of axial leads is impractical. |
| 1N6267A | Legacy axial TVS with identical VRWM (8.55 V) and VC (14.5 V), but lower peak power (500 W) and no UL 497B recognition. | Lacks safety certification for medical/isolated-loop use; acceptable only in non-certified industrial controls. | Choose only for cost-sensitive legacy designs where UL compliance is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ10A and 1N6267A, the P6KE10AG uniquely combines axial-leaded reliability, UL 497B certification, and 600 W surge capacity - making it the preferred choice for safety-critical, high-energy transient environments where through-hole mounting is specified.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE10AG under surge conditions?
The P6KE10AG has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 41 A per the 1 ms waveform defined in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This value is measured at TJ = 25°C and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transients - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream ICs rated for ≤16 V absolute maximum.
Does the P6KE10AG meet UL safety standards for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the P6KE10AG is UL 497B recognized (File #E210057) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification covers rigorous testing including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, temperature cycling, dielectric withstand, and discharge performance - confirming suitability for medical, telecom, and industrial isolation barrier applications where regulatory compliance is mandatory.
What is the temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage for the P6KE10AG?
The P6KE10AG has a maximum temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.073 %/°C. This means its breakdown voltage increases by no more than 0.073% per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature - ensuring stable clamping behavior across the full operating range of −55°C to +150°C without requiring derating or compensation circuits.
Can the P6KE10AG be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the P6KE10AG is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity - cathode connected to the line being protected, anode to ground. For bidirectional protection, ON Semiconductor offers the P6KE10CA series (e.g., P6KE10CG), which uses a back-to-back diode configuration to clamp both positive and negative transients.
What is the steady-state power dissipation rating for the P6KE10AG?
The P6KE10AG has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 5.0 W at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 25°C, derating linearly to zero at TL = 175°C. This rating applies only to continuous DC or low-frequency leakage conditions - not transient events - and assumes 3/8″ lead length per JEDEC standards for thermal modeling.
