Product details
Overview
P6KE130CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. 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 delivers sub-5ns response time. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and housed in a DO-204AC (DO-15) package for ESD and lightning surge suppression in DC power inputs.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130CAH datasheet, P6KE130CAH pinout, P6KE130CAH application, or P6KE130CAH equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, mechanical package details, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned with Taiwan Semiconductor's P2203 specification revision and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
The P6KE130CAH is a single-die, bidirectional TVS diode optimized for unclamped transient suppression on symmetric signal or power lines. Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable clamping under 10/1000μs surges, while its <1μA reverse leakage at 105V supports low-power standby integrity.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature and meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The device exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of 0.107%/°C and is rated for non-repetitive 600W peak pulse power.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 105 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 117 V / 143 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 179 V @ 3.5 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000μs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling at 10/1000μs waveform; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| Response time | <5 ns - Time from 0 V to VBR onset for bidirectional transients; critical for protecting high-speed interfaces. |
| Leakage ID | <1 μA @ VWM - Minimal standby current draw; preserves battery life in always-on systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-204AC (DO-15), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded case with UL 94V-0 rating. Cathode band marking denotes polarity for unidirectional variants; P6KE130CAH is bidirectional and marked without polarity band per spec.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional surge path | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no orientation required in PCB layout. |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Current-carrying terminals | Both leads conduct surge current equally; must be soldered to copper pads ≥5×5 mm for full 600W derating per datasheet Fig.2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HAST, and mechanical shock - required for engine control and ADAS power rails. |
| 600W 10/1000μs surge rating | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-to-earth) surges without degradation when mounted per JEDEC standards. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.27) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients - critical for safeguarding 130V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - supports green manufacturing and export compliance. |
| 0.400 g weight & DO-15 footprint | Enables compact placement near connectors or fuse blocks without adding board area or thermal mass penalties. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp placed upstream of DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤179V, preventing damage to 36V-rated buck controller ICs during 120V/50ms load dump events. |
Use Scenario: 4–20mA analog input channel in industrial programmable logic controller subject to field wiring ESD and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor across input terminals before precision op-amp front-end. Use Value: Sub-5ns response prevents latch-up in instrumentation amplifiers; <1μA leakage avoids offset drift in µV-level measurements. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional shunt protector across output terminals to absorb common-mode transients. Use Value: 600W rating handles multi-kA induced surges; DO-15 package allows direct mounting at cable entry point with minimal trace inductance. |
Use Scenario: -48V DC feeder line in telecom base station equipment exposed to AC mains coupling and lightning surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), clamping residual overshoot. Use Value: 105V VWM provides 15% margin above -48V nominal; 175°C TJ max ensures reliability in sealed outdoor cabinets. |
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 (117–143V), 105V VWM, but rated 400W (not 600W) and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lower surge rating limits use to non-automotive industrial or consumer applications; requires layout review for thermal dissipation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600W headroom requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE130CA | Same DO-201AD (DO-27) package; identical 130V VBR range and 600W rating, but only AEC-Q101 qualified up to P6KE120A - P6KE130CAH has documented AEC-Q101 certification per ordering code 'H' suffix. | DO-201AD is larger than DO-15 and may require PCB rework; lacks explicit AEC-Q101 validation at 130V node. | Choose only if existing design uses DO-201AD footprint and qualification documentation is confirmed via ON Semi's Q101 report for 1.5KE130CA. |
Compared with SMAJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, P6KE130CAH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-15 compactness, and full 600W 10/1000μs capability - making it the only option certified for automotive power rail protection where space, reliability, and surge margin are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What does the 'H' suffix in P6KE130CAH signify?
The 'H' suffix in P6KE130CAH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering nomenclature (P6KE Series Doc P2203). This certification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming suitability for automotive under-hood applications. P6KE130CAH is among the P6KE variants explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified, unlike non-'H' versions.
Is P6KE130CAH unidirectional or bidirectional?
P6KE130CAH is a bidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the 'CA' suffix per TSC's naming convention ('C' = common cathode configuration for bidirectional types; 'A' = tightened VBR tolerance). Electrical characteristics apply identically in both directions, with symmetrical VBR (117–143V), VWM (105V), and clamping behavior - eliminating polarity concerns during PCB placement.
What is the maximum peak surge current (IPP) for P6KE130CAH?
The maximum peak surge current (IPP) for P6KE130CAH is 3.5 A under the standard 10/1000μs waveform, derived from its 600W peak pulse power rating and 179V clamping voltage (IPP = PPK / VC = 600W / 179V ≈ 3.35A, rounded to 3.5A per datasheet Table on Page 3). This value is validated at TA = 25°C and derates linearly above that ambient per Fig.2.
Can P6KE130CAH replace P6KE130A in a design?
No - P6KE130CAH and P6KE130A are functionally distinct. P6KE130A is unidirectional ('A' suffix only), while P6KE130CAH is bidirectional ('CA' suffix). Substituting them risks open-circuit failure during reverse-polarity transients. Additionally, P6KE130CAH carries AEC-Q101 qualification ('H'), whereas P6KE130A does not. Layout and reliability validation would be required for any replacement.
What packaging options are available for P6KE130CAH?
P6KE130CAH is supplied in DO-204AC (DO-15) package with two packing options: 3,500 units per tape-and-reel (standard for SMT assembly) and 1,500 units per ammo box (for manual or low-volume prototyping). Both options maintain full traceability and comply with J-STD-002 solderability requirements using pure tin-plated leads.
