Product details
Overview
P6KE200CH 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 200V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 180–220V), 162V stand-off voltage (VWM), clamps to ≤287V at 2.1A peak pulse current, and uses DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package for industrial power supply input protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200CH datasheet, P6KE200CH pinout, P6KE200CH application, or P6KE200CH equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and lightning-induced surge immunity where fast response (<1.0ps), low dynamic impedance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive under-hood environments are required.
Technical Context
The P6KE200CH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a single-die DO-204AC construction. Its junction exhibits <1μA reverse leakage at 162V (VWM), a temperature coefficient of VBR at 0.108%/°C, and maintains clamping performance across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
It delivers 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10/1000μs waveform, derates linearly above 25°C ambient, and supports up to 100A forward surge current (IFSM) for 8.3ms half-sine transients - critical for inductive load switching protection in automotive ECUs and industrial PLCs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 162 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (min/max) | 180 / 220 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPP | 287 V at 2.1 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000μs surge; limits downstream IC stress to sub-300V level |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; sustains one-time 600W surge without failure |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Ultra-low reverse leakage at rated stand-off; avoids parasitic loading on sensitive analog or low-power circuits |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables operation in high-ambient under-hood or enclosed industrial enclosures |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - Axial-leaded, UL 94V-0 molded package with tin-plated leads; compatible with wave soldering and manual assembly |
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.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; conducts surge current to reference plane during clamping |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24V rail); avalanche breakdown initiates when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood use including thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC standard |
| Fast response time | <1.0 ps rise from 0 V to VBR - enables protection of high-speed interfaces and microcontrollers against nanosecond-scale ESD |
| Low dynamic impedance | Ensures stable clamping voltage across varying surge currents; minimizes voltage overshoot during transient events |
| 600W surge rating | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) surges on 24V/48V industrial buses without degradation |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive; suitable for green manufacturing and export compliance |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Input Protection |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on signal line, downstream of common-mode choke. Use Value: Sub-1ps response captures ESD pulses before they reach transceiver ESD diodes, reducing cumulative stress on integrated protection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ200A | Same 200V VBR range, 400W PPK rating, SMA package (surface-mount), lower VC (274V @ 2.2A) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better suited for space-constrained consumer electronics vs. through-hole industrial designs | Select when board real estate is limited and automated assembly is preferred over axial leaded components |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE200A | Same DO-15 package, 1500W PPK rating, higher VC (287V @ 5.2A), wider VBR tolerance (180–220V same) | Higher surge capacity suits infrequent but extreme lightning events; larger junction may increase leakage at high temperature | Select when legacy 1.5KE footprint compatibility is required and >600W headroom is needed for field-replaceable modules |
Compared with Littelfuse SMAJ200A and ON Semi 1.5KE200A, the P6KE200CH offers AEC-Q101 qualification and optimized 600W/DO-15 balance for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial through-hole applications where reliability under thermal stress is prioritized over maximum surge headroom or miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P6KE200CH?
The P6KE200CH is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking on the DO-204AC package. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events - forward conduction is not intended for normal operation. This configuration makes it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed, unlike bidirectional variants such as P6KE200A.
Does the P6KE200CH meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes, the "H" suffix in P6KE200CH explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per version P2203 documentation. It has undergone stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - validated for under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C and reliability over 15+ years is required.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE200CH under surge conditions?
The P6KE200CH clamps to a maximum of 287 V when subjected to its rated 2.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Can the P6KE200CH be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - the P6KE200CH is unidirectional and lacks symmetrical breakdown in both polarities. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential data buses), the P6KE200A variant must be used instead. Using P6KE200CH on AC or floating signals risks forward conduction damage or ineffective clamping during negative transients.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the P6KE200CH above 25°C ambient?
The P6KE200CH follows a linear derating curve per Figure 2: peak pulse power decreases from 600W at 25°C to zero at 175°C junction temperature. At 75°C ambient, it retains ~75% of rated power (≈450W), assuming proper PCB copper pad thermal relief (5×5 mm per lead). Derating must be applied in enclosure-level thermal design.
