Product details
Overview
P6KE130CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 117–143V), 105V standoff voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤179V at 3.5A peak surge current, and uses DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package for industrial power supply input stage protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130CA datasheet, P6KE130CA pinout, P6KE130CA application, or P6KE130CA equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy ESD/inductive-spike suppression where fast response (<5ns), low leakage (<1μA @ VWM), and AEC-Q101 qualification (H-grade variant) are critical - especially in automotive body electronics and industrial PLC I/O modules.
Technical Context
The P6KE130CA operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping transients above ±117V in either polarity without requiring external biasing. Its 10/1000μs waveform surge rating of 600W and junction temperature range of –55°C to +175°C support operation in harsh thermal environments.
With a maximum clamping voltage of 179V at 3.5A IPP and dynamic impedance derived from low VBR tolerance (±10%), it delivers predictable voltage limiting during fast-rising transients such as EFT (IEC 61000-4-4) and load dump (ISO 7637-2). The DO-204AC package enables through-hole mounting with 0.400g mass and UL 94V-0 molding compound.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 105 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 117 / 143 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPP | 179 V @ 3.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000μs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per single 10/1000μs event; supports high-energy lightning-induced surges. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Reverse leakage at rated standoff voltage; minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - Axial-leaded, through-hole package with tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 solderability. |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package with cathode band marking for unidirectional variants; P6KE130CA is bidirectional and marked with part-specific code (e.g., "130C" or "130CA") - no polarity designation required. Leads are pure tin-plated, RoHS-compliant, and meet JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional avalanche junction | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no DC bias dependency. |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current path for surge conduction | Both leads conduct equally during positive or negative transients; PCB layout requires equal trace impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified (H-grade) | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules and lighting drivers per stress test requirements. |
| Fast response time | <5 ns turn-on for bidirectional transients - limits voltage overshoot before system-level protection ICs react. |
| Low dynamic impedance | Derived from tight VBR tolerance (±10%) and 1 mA IT test - ensures stable clamping across temperature and life cycle. |
| UL recognition | UL File #E-326243 - certifies flammability (UL 94V-0), electrical safety, and construction compliance for end-equipment listing. |
| Halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 - meets environmental requirements for automotive and industrial OEMs with strict material declarations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130CA | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 130V VBR, 179V VC @ 3.5A, but lower PPK (400W) and no AEC-Q101 option. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 400W surge rating suffices and automotive qualification is not required. | Select SMAJ130CA only if board space allows surface-mount and AEC-Q101 is unnecessary. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE130CA | Same DO-201AD (DO-27) package; identical 130V VBR and 179V VC, but rated for 1500W PPK and higher IPP (10.3A). | Used where higher surge margin is needed - e.g., telecom line cards or utility meter front-ends exposed to direct lightning coupling. | Choose 1.5KE130CA when system-level surge testing requires >600W headroom and larger DO-27 footprint is acceptable. |
Compared with P6KE130CA, SMAJ130CA offers smaller SMT footprint but reduced surge capability and no automotive qualification, while 1.5KE130CA provides higher power handling in a larger axial package - making P6KE130CA the optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 600W rating, and DO-15 compatibility for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6KE130CA at its rated surge current?
The P6KE130CA clamps to a maximum of 179 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current of 3.5 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the P6KE130CA-protected circuit.
Is the P6KE130CA suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the P6KE130CA is AEC-Q101 qualified (as indicated by the 'H' suffix in ordering codes like P6KE130CAH), having passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature reverse bias. It is widely used in automotive body control modules and lighting systems where P6KE130CA reliability under vibration and thermal cycling is validated.
How does the P6KE130CA differ from the unidirectional P6KE130A?
The P6KE130CA is bidirectional and symmetrical, clamping transients of either polarity, while the P6KE130A is unidirectional with a defined cathode band. The P6KE130CA has identical VBR (117–143 V), VWM (105 V), and VC (179 V) specs but lacks polarity marking - making it ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal line protection where P6KE130CA simplifies layout and eliminates orientation concerns.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the P6KE130CA?
The P6KE130CA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C and a storage temperature range of –55°C to +175°C. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C - a key design advantage confirmed in P6KE130CA thermal derating curves (Fig.2).
Does the P6KE130CA require a heatsink for continuous operation?
No - the P6KE130CA is rated for 5 W steady-state power dissipation at TA = 75°C with 9.5 mm lead lengths mounted on 5 × 5 mm copper pads, and its primary function is transient suppression, not continuous power handling. Under normal DC bias below VWM (105 V), leakage remains <1 μA, generating negligible heat - so no heatsink is needed for P6KE130CA in standard surge protection roles.
