Product details
Overview
P6KE130AG from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in axial-leaded Surmetic-40 package, designed for parallel clamping of high-energy transients. It features 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 124–137 V @ IT = 1 A), 179 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.3 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 600 W peak power dissipation (1 ms pulse). It is used to protect power supplies, industrial controls, and communication interfaces against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130AG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include working peak reverse voltage (VRWM = 111 V), clamping performance under 3.3 A surge, thermal resistance (RJL = 20 °C/W), Pb-free compliance, and UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuit protection.
Technical Context
The P6KE130AG operates as a silicon avalanche diode with fast response time (< 1 ns), enabling effective suppression of sub-microsecond transients. Its unidirectional polarity requires cathode connection to the protected line's positive side, and it exhibits low leakage (< 5 µA @ 111 V) and a temperature coefficient of 0.107 %/°C for VBR.
It is rated for nonrepetitive 600 W pulses per Figure 4 waveform (tp = 1 ms), with derating above 25 °C ambient or lead temperature. Steady-state power dissipation is 5.0 W at TL ≤ 25 °C, decreasing linearly at 50 mW/°C above 50 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; must exceed system DC/peak AC voltage. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 A | 124–137 V - Breakdown voltage range defining avalanche onset; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP = 3.3 A | 179 V - Maximum clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during specified 1 ms surge; determines voltage stress on downstream components. |
| IPP | 3.3 A - Peak pulse current capability at VC; defines surge energy handling (≈ 590 J for 1 ms pulse). |
| Leakage @ VRWM | < 5 µA - Minimal reverse current at rated working voltage; avoids parasitic loading in high-impedance circuits. |
| Response Time | < 1 ns - Time from transient onset to clamping activation; critical for protecting fast-edge digital or RF circuits. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B certified - Validated for isolated loop circuit protection including strike voltage, endurance, and dielectric withstand tests. |
Pinout & Package
Surmetic-40 axial-leaded plastic package (Case 017AA), with cathode indicated by a colored band. Leads are solderable, corrosion-resistant, and rated for 260 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or common return path; completes clamping loop during reverse-biased surge conduction. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); polarity band identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges) without failure when properly mounted with short leads. |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Provides robust immunity to human-body-model electrostatic discharge, reducing need for additional ESD staging. |
| Pb-free (G suffix) | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609; suitable for lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes. |
| Thermal resistance RJL = 20 °C/W | Enables reliable heat transfer from junction to lead; supports 5.0 W steady-state dissipation with proper lead length (3/8″). |
| Low capacitance | Typical C ≈ 30 pF @ VRWM (inferred from Figure 3 trend at VBR ≈ 130 V); minimizes signal distortion in data lines up to ~100 MHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Surface-mount SMB package; same VRWM (111 V), slightly lower VC (178 V @ 3.3 A), higher IPP rating (3.4 A). | Requires PCB redesign for SMT layout; better suited for automated assembly and space-constrained boards. | Select SMBJ130A when board real estate is limited and reflow compatibility is required; P6KE130AG remains optimal for through-hole prototyping or high-reliability axial mounting. |
| 1.5KE130A | Same axial package but higher peak power (1500 W); VRWM = 111 V, VC = 179 V @ 8.3 A, larger physical size (Case 017AB). | Offers 2.5× surge margin for severe environments (e.g., utility metering); requires larger footprint and higher mounting torque. | Choose 1.5KE130A where IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave testing demands >1 kA surge capability; P6KE130AG suffices for standard industrial immunity requirements. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the P6KE130AG provides a balanced trade-off of proven axial reliability, UL 497B certification, and cost-effective 600 W surge handling-ideal for volume industrial power entry designs where manual assembly or serviceability matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE130AG under surge conditions?
The P6KE130AG has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.3 A (1 ms exponential waveform per Figure 4). This value is guaranteed across temperature and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a worst-case transient event. The P6KE130AG maintains this clamping performance due to its controlled avalanche characteristics and low dynamic impedance.
Does the P6KE130AG meet UL safety standards for circuit protection?
Yes, the P6KE130AG is UL Recognized under UL 497B (File #E210057) for isolated loop circuit protection. It has passed rigorous tests including strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge validation. This certification applies specifically to the P6KE6.8A–P6KE200A series, confirming the P6KE130AG's suitability for safety-critical applications such as medical and industrial control systems.
How does the P6KE130AG differ from the P6KE130A variant?
The P6KE130AG is the Pb-free version of the P6KE130A, with identical electrical specifications, package dimensions (Surmetic-40, Case 017AA), and thermal ratings. The "G" suffix denotes compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609 for lead-free soldering. No performance or reliability differences exist between P6KE130A and P6KE130AG beyond environmental compliance.
What is the recommended mounting method for optimal thermal performance of the P6KE130AG?
For optimal thermal performance, mount the P6KE130AG with 3/8″ (9.5 mm) lead length from the case to the PCB pad, as specified in the datasheet. Keep leads short and direct to minimize inductive overshoot. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress near the case. Soldering must not exceed 260 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case. Proper lead length ensures the rated 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance are maintained in the P6KE130AG.
Can the P6KE130AG be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the P6KE130AG is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional protection. Its design clamps only in reverse bias (cathode positive relative to anode); forward conduction occurs at ~3.5 V, which is insufficient for symmetrical surge suppression. For bidirectional applications, use the CA-suffixed variants (e.g., P6KE130CA) or back-to-back connected unidirectional devices. Using P6KE130AG in bidirectional mode risks incomplete clamping and potential damage.
