Product details
Overview
P6KE200C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a nominal breakdown voltage of 200 V, clamping voltage of 287 V at 2.1 A peak pulse current, and stand-off voltage of 162 V - enabling robust overvoltage immunity in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200C datasheet, P6KE200C pinout, P6KE200C application, or P6KE200C equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) package compatibility, 10/1000 µs surge rating, low dynamic impedance, fast sub-nanosecond response time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The P6KE200C operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with precise voltage clamping triggered by reverse-biased overvoltage events. Its junction structure delivers low dynamic impedance (<1 Ω typical) and stable breakdown behavior across -55°C to +175°C operating temperature range.
It complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and supports single-pulse 600 W surge dissipation per 10/1000 µs waveform. The device exhibits <1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 162 V and a temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.108 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in high-ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 200 V - defines primary clamping threshold for system-level overvoltage protection |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 180–220 V at 1 mA test current - ensures reliable avalanche initiation within specified tolerance |
| Stand-Off Voltage (VWM) | 162 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 287 V at 2.1 A peak pulse current - limits downstream voltage stress during surge events |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPK) | 600 W at 10/1000 µs waveform - determines survivability against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55°C to +175°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - industry-standard axial-leaded package with tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) package: axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with cathode band marking for unidirectional polarity. Dimensions conform to JEDEC standard; weight ≈ 0.400 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Avalanche clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 200 V rail); conducts during reverse overvoltage to clamp voltage to ≤287 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surge capability | 600 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs - meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment |
| Response speed | Typically <1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR - prevents voltage overshoot before clamping activation |
| Leakage performance | <1 µA at 162 V - minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits |
| Thermal robustness | 175°C max junction temperature - supports operation near power electronics and engine compartments |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified (H-suffix variant) - validated for automotive electronic control units requiring zero-failure reliability |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V and 48 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp spikes up to ±100 V.

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 SMAJ200A | Same 200 V nominal, 287 V clamping, but SMA package (surface-mount); 400 W rating | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is preferred |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE200A | Same DO-15 package and 200 V rating, but 1500 W peak power; higher clamping voltage (298 V) | Better for higher-energy surges but increases downstream voltage stress | Choose for enhanced surge margin where 298 V clamping remains within IC absolute maximum ratings |
Compared with P6KE200C, SMAJ200A offers surface-mount flexibility at reduced power handling, while 1.5KE200A provides higher surge capacity with trade-offs in clamping tightness and thermal mass - making P6KE200C optimal for cost-sensitive, through-hole automotive and industrial applications requiring precise 600 W/287 V coordination.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P6KE200C?
The P6KE200C is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-band marking indicating the clamping terminal. When reverse-biased above its 180–220 V breakdown range, it conducts to limit voltage across protected circuitry. Its anode connects to ground or low-side reference, and cathode to the line being protected - unlike bidirectional variants (e.g., P6KE200CA), it does not conduct in forward bias beyond typical diode drop.
Does the P6KE200C meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
The P6KE200C itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only the P6KE200CH variant (with "H" suffix) carries AEC-Q101 certification per Version P2203 documentation. This distinction is critical for automotive applications requiring formal reliability validation - users must specify P6KE200CH for qualifying designs, as P6KE200C lacks the required stress-test documentation and process controls.
What is the maximum peak surge current the P6KE200C can handle?
The P6KE200C supports a maximum peak surge current (IPP) of 2.1 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value corresponds directly to its 600 W peak pulse power rating at 287 V clamping voltage. Derating applies above 25°C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet, reducing usable surge capacity by ~0.6% per °C rise.
How does the P6KE200C compare to the P6KE200A variant?
The P6KE200C has a tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (180–220 V) versus P6KE200A (190–210 V), resulting in more predictable clamping onset. Both share identical 162 V stand-off voltage and 287 V clamping voltage, but P6KE200A's narrower VBR range improves consistency in precision protection schemes - whereas P6KE200C offers broader margin for variable-temperature or aging-sensitive deployments.
Can the P6KE200C be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - the P6KE200C is strictly unidirectional and unsuitable for AC or bidirectional signal paths. For such applications, the P6KE200CA variant must be selected, as it features symmetrical breakdown characteristics in both polarities. Using P6KE200C on bidirectional lines risks forward conduction during normal signal swings and failure to clamp negative transients.
