Product details
Overview
P6KE130AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power supplies and automotive electronics. It features a 130V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 117V–143V), 105V standoff voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤179V at 3.5A peak surge current, and uses DO-204AC (DO-15) package with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130AH datasheet, P6KE130AH pinout, P6KE130AH application, or P6KE130AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10/1000μs 600W surge rating, low dynamic impedance, sub-1ps response time from 0V to VBR, <1μA leakage above 10V, and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for ESD and load-dump protection in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The P6KE130AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its 117–143V breakdown range at 1mA test current. Its clamping action limits transient energy to ≤179V at 3.5A, enabling robust protection of downstream MOSFETs, controllers, and sensors against ISO 7637-2 load dump and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT events.
Thermal design relies on its 175°C maximum junction temperature and derating curve (Fig.2), while mechanical integration follows DO-204AC outline with cathode band polarity marking and pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 105 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 117–143 V at 1 mA - Avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction |
| VC @ IPPM (Clamping Voltage) | ≤179 V at 3.5 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000μs surge; determines minimum voltage rating of downstream components |
| PPK (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Surge energy handling per 10/1000μs waveform; supports automotive load-dump immunity per ISO 7637-2 |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Ultra-low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| Response Time | <1.0 ps - Near-instantaneous avalanche initiation from 0V to VBR; prevents nanosecond-scale voltage overshoot |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial power stages |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial leaded, epoxy-molded case meeting UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Cathode indicated by band marking; anode and cathode leads are tinned per J-STD-002 for reliable soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry point in forward bias; tied to system ground or low-side reference | Provides low-forward-voltage path during fault conditions; must connect to lowest potential node in protected circuit |
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient voltage sensing and clamping node | Connected to line being protected (e.g., battery rail); conducts avalanche current to ground when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Power Input Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V/24V battery-fed ECUs against load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role: Primary overvoltage clamp placed between battery input and upstream DC-DC converter or LDO. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤179V, preventing damage to 36V-rated input capacitors and 40V MOSFETs in power stage. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and motor drives from switching transients on 24V/48V DC bus lines. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS mounted directly at DIN-rail power entry point before EMI filter and rectification stage. Use Value: Absorbs 600W surges without latch-up, maintaining system uptime in factory automation where relay coil flyback dominates threat profile. |
| LED Driver Input Protection | Telecom Power Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED drivers in street lighting from lightning-induced surges on AC/DC front-end inputs. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary-level TVS after bulk rectifier but before primary-side controller IC and transformer. Use Value: Clamps induced transients to <179V, preserving 200V-rated bridge rectifiers and ensuring driver IC reset stability. |
Use Scenario: Guarding PoE-powered network switches and base station radios against EFT bursts (IEC 61000-4-4) on 48V DC input rails. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional suppression device placed between DC jack and hot-swap controller or DC-DC module. Use Value: Sub-1ps response prevents EFT coupling into data plane; <1μA leakage avoids false triggering of undervoltage lockout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Same 130V VBR range (117–143V), but SMB package (surface-mount); 600W rating at 10/1000μs; slightly higher clamping voltage (187V @ 3.3A) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better thermal performance in compact designs but lacks axial lead mechanical robustness | Select SMBJ130A when board space is constrained and automated assembly is preferred over through-hole mounting |
| 1.5KE130A | Higher 1500W surge rating (10/1000μs), same DO-204AC package; VBR 117–143V; clamping voltage 193V @ 7.8A; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Over-spec'd for most automotive use cases; suited for industrial equipment with extreme surge exposure (e.g., wind turbine converters) | Choose 1.5KE130A only when legacy 1500W surge compliance is mandated and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the P6KE130AH delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, 600W surge capability, and DO-15 mechanical reliability - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial power protection where qualification and form factor are decisive.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P6KE130AH?
The P6KE130AH is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode marked by a band on the DO-204AC package. It conducts only in reverse bias above its breakdown voltage and blocks forward current like a standard rectifier diode. This configuration makes the P6KE130AH suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed and reverse transients dominate the threat model.
Does the P6KE130AH meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes, the "H" suffix in P6KE130AH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per the manufacturer's ordering information. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for automotive under-hood and chassis-mounted applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE130AH at rated surge current?
The P6KE130AH clamps to a maximum of 179 V at its rated peak pulse current of 3.5 A (10/1000μs waveform). This value is specified in the electrical characteristics table and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a full-rated transient event.
Can the P6KE130AH be used in bidirectional applications?
No - the P6KE130AH is unidirectional only. For bidirectional protection, TSC offers the P6KE130CA variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using P6KE130AH in AC or reversible DC paths risks failure due to forward conduction during negative half-cycles.
How does the P6KE130AH compare to the P6KE130A in terms of electrical performance?
The P6KE130AH shares identical electrical specs with P6KE130A (VBR: 117–143V, VWM: 105V, VC: ≤179V @ 3.5A) but adds AEC-Q101 qualification. The "H" suffix does not alter electrical parameters - it reflects additional automotive-grade reliability validation, making P6KE130AH the appropriate choice where qualification is mandatory.
