Product details
Overview
P6KE130A from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 111V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 124–137V breakdown range (VBR), 179V max clamping voltage (VC) at 3.3A peak pulse current, and DO-15 glass-passivated package-used in industrial power supplies, automotive ECUs, and telecom interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130A datasheet, P6KE130A pinout, P6KE130A application, or P6KE130A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, 1.0ms 600W pulse handling capability, unidirectional polarity for DC-biased lines, and DO-15 through-hole mounting compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below VRWM (111V), avalanches sharply at VBR (min 124V), and clamps transients to ≤179V at IPP = 3.3A under 1.0ms 10/1000μs waveform. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<5μA @ VRWM) and fast response (<1.0ps).
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 75°C/W and PD = 5.0W at TL = +75°C with 9.5mm lead length on 40mm² copper land. Derating begins above +25°C ambient, maintaining ≥50% peak power capability up to +125°C per Fig. 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W for 1.0ms non-repetitive surge-handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) surges on 24V/48V DC rails. |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 111V maximum-sets upper limit of normal operating voltage before clamping initiates. |
| Breakdown Voltage Range | 124V to 137V at 1.0mA test current-defines guaranteed avalanche onset window for design margining. |
| Max Clamping Voltage | 179V at 3.3A peak pulse-determines maximum voltage seen by downstream circuitry during surge event. |
| Package | DO-15 molded plastic (UL 94V-0)-supports manual or wave soldering; 0.4g weight; 25.4mm body length. |
| Leakage Current | ≤5.0μA at 111V VRWM-ensures negligible standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; two-terminal device requiring no external bias. Leads are tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for unidirectional clamping | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; defines polarity-dependent surge shunting direction. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to rail or signal line being safeguarded; avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600W peak pulse rating | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surges without derating in compact DO-15 footprint. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage across temperature (-55°C to +175°C TJ range). |
| Fast response time | <1.0ps junction response enables clamping before transient energy couples into sensitive ICs. |
| RoHS-compliant lead finish | Tin-plated leads meet EU RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and support Pb-free reflow/wave soldering processes. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground to clamp positive-going transients. Use Value: 179V clamping voltage provides >2× margin above 48V nominal rail, preventing damage to upstream rectifier and downstream DC-DC controller. |
Use Scenario: CAN transceiver VCC line in BCM subjected to battery disconnect transients per ISO 16750-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on 5V/3.3V supply rail feeding CAN PHY and microcontroller peripherals. Use Value: Sub-5μA leakage avoids loading low-power sleep-state circuits; DO-15 form factor fits constrained under-hood PCB real estate. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Renewable Energy Inverter DC Link |
Use Scenario: RS-485 data line termination in outdoor base station equipment subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), absorbing residual energy post-GDT crowbar. Use Value: 124–137V VBR range aligns with 120VAC-derived DC bus, ensuring coordinated clamping with upstream GDT. |
Use Scenario: DC link capacitor charging circuit in solar string inverter exposed to grid switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-mounted TVS across 300–400V DC link to suppress voltage spikes during IGBT turn-off. Use Value: 600W rating sustains repeated 1.0ms surges without thermal runaway; 175°C max junction temp supports high-ambient rooftop operation. |
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 VRWM (111V) and VC (179V), but SMC package (surface-mount); 600W rating; lower RθJA (50°C/W). | Requires PCB redesign for SMD placement; better thermal performance in space-constrained designs. | Select when automated assembly and higher power density are prioritized over through-hole serviceability. |
| P6KE130CA | Bidirectional variant: identical VRWM/VBR/VC specs but symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or floating lines. | Used where line polarity is undefined (e.g., Ethernet PHY pairs, audio inputs) or bidirectional surges expected. | Choose only if circuit lacks defined DC bias; unidirectional P6KE130A offers lower leakage and tighter VBR tolerance. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and P6KE130CA, P6KE130A delivers optimal cost and reliability for fixed-polarity DC protection in legacy through-hole systems, while avoiding SMD rework costs and unnecessary bidirectional complexity in grounded-rail applications.

FAQ
Is P6KE130A still in active production?
No-P6KE130A is officially obsolete per Diodes Incorporated's DS21502 Rev. 20-4 (August 2024). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains secured legacy inventory with full traceability and extended lifecycle support for ongoing production programs.
What is the difference between P6KE130A and P6KE130CA?
P6KE130A is unidirectional (cathode-marked), clamping only positive transients relative to ground; P6KE130CA is bidirectional (no cathode band), clamping both polarities symmetrically. Both share identical VRWM, VBR, and VC ratings but differ in leakage behavior and application scope.
Can P6KE130A be used in place of P6KE120A?
No-P6KE130A has higher VRWM (111V vs. 102V) and clamping voltage (179V vs. 165V). Substituting it risks insufficient clamping margin on 100V-class rails. Always verify VBR min/max and VC against protected circuit's absolute maximum ratings.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for P6KE130A?
P6KE130A dissipates 5.0W continuously at TL = +75°C with 9.5mm lead length on 40mm² copper land. Derating follows Fig. 5: power drops linearly to zero at +200°C lead temperature, requiring thermal modeling for high-ambient deployments.
