Product details
Overview
P6KE130CA-T from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. 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 package with glass-passivated junction-used in industrial power supply input stages and telecom line card surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130CA-T datasheet, P6KE130CA-T pinout, P6KE130CA-T application, or P6KE130CA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system operating voltage, unidirectional vs. bidirectional polarity requirements, 1.0ms pulse waveform compliance, thermal derating above +25°C ambient, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for reflow assembly.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity biasing. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<5µA @ VRWM) under steady-state conditions.
The device responds to transients within <1.0ns and clamps energy per the standardized 10/1000µs double-exponential waveform. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 75°C/W, requiring PCB copper land area (40mm²) and lead length control (9.5mm) to sustain 5.0W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W for 1.0ms non-repetitive surge-supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) testing. |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 111V (VRWM)-maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage. |
| Breakdown Voltage Range | 124–137V @ IT = 1.0mA-defines onset of avalanche conduction with ±5% tolerance. |
| Max Clamping Voltage | 179V @ IPP = 3.3A-upper limit of protected circuit voltage during surge event. |
| Package | DO-15 molded plastic (UL 94V-0)-standard axial-leaded through-hole mounting with 0.4g mass. |
| RoHS Compliance | Lead-free finish per EU Directive 2011/65/EU-compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 package: axial-leaded, cylindrical epoxy body, cathode band not marked on bidirectional version (P6KE130CA-T); leads are solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (negative polarity) | Conducts during negative surges; symmetrical with cathode in bidirectional operation. |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (positive polarity) | Conducts during positive surges; no polarity marking on CA-type devices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping symmetry | Enables single-device protection of AC signals or ungrounded buses without external polarity management. |
| Fast response time <1ns | Prevents voltage overshoot beyond IC absolute maximum ratings during ESD or lightning-induced transients. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term VBR stability and low parameter drift across temperature (-55°C to +175°C). |
| 600W peak pulse rating | Supports high-energy surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 while maintaining low clamping voltage margin. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Telecom Line Card Surge Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt TVS clamping device placed upstream of DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤179V, preserving downstream converter's 200V input rating with 21V safety margin. | Use Scenario: T1/E1 interface board in central office equipment subjected to lightning-induced common-mode surges on twisted-pair lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional line-to-line and line-to-ground surge clamp on differential signaling pair. Use Value: Symmetric clamping maintains signal integrity during ±179V surges without polarity biasing or additional components. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Supply Rail | AC-DC Adapter Input Stage |
Use Scenario: 12V supply rail in BCM exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 (inductive load dump) and pulse 3a/b (switching noise). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary overvoltage clamp after primary LC filter, protecting MCU and CAN transceivers. Use Value: Withstands 100A peak forward surge (IFSM) and clamps to 179V, staying below 200V absolute max rating of automotive-grade ICs. | Use Scenario: Input rectifier stage of universal-input (90–264VAC) offline SMPS used in consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MOV-assisted primary-side surge suppression, absorbing residual energy after MOV clamping. Use Value: Provides precise 179V clamping with tighter tolerance than MOVs, reducing stress on bridge rectifier and bulk capacitor. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | Same VRWM (111V) and VC (179V), but 600W rating in SMB package (surface-mount). | Requires PCB redesign for SMT placement; lacks axial lead mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments. | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is prioritized over manual repairability. |
| P6SMB130CA | Identical electrical specs, same SMB package, but manufactured by STMicroelectronics with AEC-Q101 qualification. | Qualified for automotive underhood use; P6KE130CA-T is not AEC-Q101 rated despite Diodes' IATF 16949 capability. | Choose for automotive production where PPAP documentation and qualified reliability data are mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and P6SMB130CA, P6KE130CA-T offers proven axial-leaded mechanical stability and legacy design compatibility, but requires through-hole assembly and lacks formal automotive qualification-making it suitable for industrial and telecom applications where cost and serviceability outweigh AEC requirements.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6KE130CA-T?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration: the device clamps transients of either polarity symmetrically, with identical breakdown and clamping characteristics in both directions. Unlike unidirectional "A" versions, it has no cathode band marking and is used where AC signals or floating rails require polarity-agnostic protection without external biasing.
Is P6KE130CA-T still in active production?
No-Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued the P6KE6V8(C)A–P6KE400(C)A family, including P6KE130CA-T, as noted in DS21502 Rev. 20-4 (August 2024). Aetrix Electronics holds remaining authorized inventory and provides last-time-buy support, including full traceability and extended lifecycle coordination for legacy designs.
How does P6KE130CA-T compare to MOV-based surge protection?
P6KE130CA-T offers faster response (<1ns vs. ~25ns for MOVs), tighter clamping voltage tolerance (±5% VBR vs. ±20% for MOVs), and no degradation after repeated surges. However, it handles lower total energy per event (600W/1ms vs. joules-level MOV capacity), so it is typically deployed downstream of an MOV for staged protection in high-risk environments.
Can P6KE130CA-T be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
Parallel connection is not recommended due to VBR mismatch between units, which causes uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher IPP, select a single higher-rated device (e.g., 1.5KE130CA, 1500W) or implement active current-sharing circuits-never rely on paralleling standard P6KE devices without matching and derating.
