Product details
Overview
P6KE130CH 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 130V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 117–143V), 105V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 187V clamping voltage at 3.3A peak surge current, and DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package. Used in automotive ECU power input stages to absorb load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a transients.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE130CH datasheet, P6KE130CH pinout, P6KE130CH application, or P6KE130CH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, surge current rating under 10/1000μs waveform, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal derating above 25°C ambient, and unidirectional polarity marking for correct PCB orientation.
Technical Context
The P6KE130CH operates as a silicon avalanche diode with fast response time (<1.0ps from 0V to VBR) and low dynamic impedance, enabling rapid clamping of high-energy transients before downstream components are stressed. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased protection only, requiring cathode-to-rail placement for DC supply line protection.
It complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards and delivers 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power at 10/1000μs waveform, with junction temperature range from –55°C to +175°C and 1μA max reverse leakage at 105V. The device is AEC-Q101 qualified (H-suffix), confirming reliability for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 105 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected circuit operating voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 117 V / 143 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; defines threshold where clamping begins under transient stress. |
| VC @ IPP | 187 V at 3.3 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during full 600W surge; must remain below downstream component absolute maximum rating. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000μs waveform; determines survivability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a or IEC 61000-4-5 Combination Wave surges. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Reverse leakage at rated standoff voltage; ensures negligible standby power loss and no unintended biasing in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJMAX | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in engine compartment environments with minimal thermal derating margin required. |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - Axial-leaded, through-hole package with tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002; compatible with wave soldering and manual rework. |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package with cathode band marking. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a single band indicating cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or low-voltage return path; completes conduction path during reverse transient clamp event. |
| Cathode (banded end) | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery rail); avalanche breakdown initiates here when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified (H-suffix) | Validated for automotive under-hood use including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing per AEC standard. |
| 600W 10/1000μs surge rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) up to 120V superimposed on 14V system without failure or parameter shift. |
| Clamping voltage ≤187V at 3.3A | Provides ≥13V margin below typical 200V-rated automotive microcontroller I/O absolute maximum ratings. |
| Ultra-fast response <1.0ps | Activates before most ESD or fast transient events fully develop, minimizing voltage overshoot into protected ICs. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally constrained production programs. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Digital I/O Protection |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS across input capacitor to absorb repetitive 100–500V spikes. Use Value: Maintains <1μA leakage at 48V, avoiding efficiency loss while clamping 600W surges without degradation over 10,000+ events. |
Use Scenario: RS-485 transceiver bus line exposed to lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary protection stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), absorbing residual energy. Use Value: Low clamping voltage (187V) prevents latch-up in ±15V-rated transceivers while supporting >10kV surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5. |
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 | Surface-mount SMB package (vs. axial DO-15); same 130V nominal, but lower 600W rating tested at 10/1000μs with different thermal mass. | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; better suited for space-constrained boards where wave soldering is not used. | Select SMBJ130A only if board layout supports SMT and thermal pad design meets JEDEC Std. 22-A108 reliability requirements. |
| 1.5KE130A | Same DO-204AC package but higher 1500W peak power rating; VC = 219V at 6.8A - 17% higher clamping voltage than P6KE130CH. | Acceptable where protected circuit has ≥220V VMAX and higher surge energy (e.g., alternator output lines). | Choose 1.5KE130A when surge threat exceeds 600W or when legacy 1.5KE footprint compatibility is required; avoid if clamping margin is tight. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5KE130A, the P6KE130CH offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, axial through-hole manufacturability, and 187V clamping-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive modules where leaded assembly and proven field reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the AEC-Q101 qualification status of the P6KE130CH?
The P6KE130CH carries the "H" suffix, which explicitly denotes full AEC-Q101 qualification per the manufacturer's ordering information and datasheet revision P2203. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock-validating its suitability for automotive under-hood applications. The P6KE130CH is not a generic variant; qualification applies directly to this exact part number.
How does the clamping voltage of P6KE130CH compare to its breakdown voltage?
The P6KE130CH has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 117 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 187 V at 3.3 A peak current. This 70 V differential represents the device's dynamic impedance under surge conditions and defines the worst-case overvoltage imposed on protected circuitry. Designers must ensure downstream components tolerate up to 187 V transient exposure.
Can P6KE130CH be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the P6KE130CH is unidirectional only, as confirmed by its "CH" suffix (where "C" indicates unidirectional and "H" denotes AEC-Q101). Bidirectional variants in the same series use "CA" suffixes (e.g., P6KE130CA). Using P6KE130CH in AC or bipolar signal paths would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles and potential failure.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous operation of P6KE130CH?
The P6KE130CH has a junction temperature limit of +175°C and is rated for steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at TA = 75°C with 9.5 mm lead lengths. Derating curves show usable power falls to ~2.5 W at 125°C ambient. For reliable long-term operation, keep ambient below 105°C with adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading.
Is P6KE130CH compatible with lead-free reflow or wave soldering processes?
Yes-the P6KE130CH uses pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and supports both lead-free wave soldering (peak temp ≤260°C, 10 sec max) and hand soldering. The DO-204AC molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the device passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, ensuring reliability in RoHS-compliant manufacturing flows.
