Product details
Overview
P6KE130C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a nominal breakdown voltage of 130V, clamps transients to ≤187V at 3.3A peak surge current, and delivers sub-nanosecond response time (<1.0ps) to protect sensitive ICs in automotive body electronics and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130C datasheet, P6KE130C pinout, P6KE130C application, or P6KE130C equivalent, key selection criteria include its 105V stand-off voltage, 1μA max reverse leakage at VWM, DO-15 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, AEC-Q101 qualification (H-suffix variant), and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 ESD/EFT/surge immunity requirements.
Technical Context
The P6KE130C operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for unidirectional clamping. Its junction structure enables low dynamic impedance (ensuring stable clamping under fast-rising transients) and a temperature coefficient of VBR at 0.107%/°C - critical for predictable performance across -55°C to +175°C operating range.
It is rated for non-repetitive 10/1000μs waveform surges up to 600W and supports peak forward surge currents of 100A (8.3ms half-sine). Polarity is marked by a cathode band; terminals are pure tin-plated for J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains single-event lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without failure |
| Stand-Off Voltage (VWM) | 105V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 117–143V @ 1mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation window for reliable clamping onset |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤187V @ 3.3A IPP - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case 10/1000μs transients |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55°C to +175°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - industry-standard axial leaded package with UL 94V-0 molding compound |
| Response Time | <1.0ps - enables protection of high-speed logic and microcontroller I/O against ESD events |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated, compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Weight: 0.400g. Molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V supply inputs of BCM microcontrollers from load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power rail upstream of LDO regulators. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤187V during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump), preventing latch-up or permanent damage to 5V/3.3V logic. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24V digital input channels of programmable logic controllers against field-wiring transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppression before optocoupler or Schmitt-trigger input stage. Use Value: Clamps induced surges from relay coil switching (IEC 61000-4-4 EFT) to safe levels while maintaining <1μA leakage at 24V nominal. |
| LED Driver Power Supply | RS-485 Communication Port |
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED driver ICs from inductive kickback during dimming MOSFET switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across input capacitor to absorb energy from flyback spikes. Use Value: Absorbs 600W pulses without degradation, enabling robust operation in outdoor lighting with wide ambient temperature swings (-40°C to +125°C). |
Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 transceiver pins (e.g., MAX1487) from ESD and cable discharge events in factory automation networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant not applicable; P6KE130C used on VCC rail only, not data lines. Use Value: Provides 105V stand-off margin above 12V bias rail while clamping ESD to <187V - preserving transceiver integrity per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 130V VBR min/max tighter (124–137V); 600W rating; 187V VC @ 3.3A | Surface-mount alternative requiring PCB redesign; better thermal dissipation in high-density layouts | Select when board space is constrained and reflow assembly is preferred over through-hole. |
| Vishay 1N6289 | Legacy DO-204AC (DO-15) package; identical 130V nominal, but higher VC (193V @ 3.3A); 600W rating; no AEC-Q101 option | Drop-in replacement for legacy designs; lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free compliance | Choose only for cost-sensitive industrial retrofits where AEC-Q101 and RoHS are not required. |
Compared with SMAJ130A and 1N6289, the P6KE130C offers AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction in the standard DO-15 through-hole package - making it optimal for new automotive and environmentally regulated industrial designs requiring proven reliability and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6KE130C under standard test conditions?
The P6KE130C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 187V when subjected to a 10/1000μs surge current of 3.3A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components experience limited overvoltage stress during transient events such as EFT or lightning-induced surges.
Is P6KE130C suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - P6KE130C is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "C" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485 data lines), use the CA-suffixed variant P6KE130CA, which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities.
Does P6KE130C meet automotive qualification standards?
The base P6KE130C is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the P6KE130CH variant (with "H" suffix) is fully AEC-Q101 certified for automotive applications. Always verify the full part number suffix when selecting for automotive use cases.
What is the standoff voltage rating for P6KE130C, and how does it relate to system design?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of P6KE130C is 105V - the maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device can block without exceeding 1μA leakage. In practice, this means it is suited for 96V–100V nominal systems (e.g., 24V × 4 battery stacks) where margin above operating voltage prevents false triggering during normal operation.
Can P6KE130C be used in parallel to increase surge current handling?
Parallel connection of P6KE130C devices is not recommended due to parameter mismatch (e.g., VBR tolerance ±5%) causing uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher surge capability, select a higher-power TVS (e.g., 1.5KE130C) or consult TSC's application notes on staged protection architectures.
