Product details
Overview
P6KE200-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 200 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 190–210 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 274 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and automotive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE200-E3/73 datasheet, P6KE200-E3/73 pinout, P6KE200-E3/73 application, or P6KE200-E3/73 equivalent, this device is evaluated for robust transient suppression in 24 V–48 V DC systems where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37), and AEC-Q101-qualified reliability are required.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it presents <1 µA leakage at 171 V stand-off voltage (VWM), then avalanches sharply at ~200 V to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 75 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), supporting continuous 5.0 W power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C. It withstands 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable triggering |
| VWM | 171 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V at 2.2 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage limiting stress on protected ICs during surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy handling capacity without failure under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - single-cycle surge current capability, critical for motor drive and relay coil snubbing |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - industry-standard axial leaded package with UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy housing |

| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Handles high-energy transients from inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays) without degradation |
| Clamping ratio VC/VBR ≈ 1.37 | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping, reducing stress on downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 variant) | Validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements including HTOL, TC, and HTRB |
| Low thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) | Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink, sustaining repeated surge events |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200A | Same VBR range (190–210 V), but SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package; 600 W rating; lower RθJA (50 °C/W) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better thermal performance in dense layouts | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is preferred over through-hole |
| 1.5KE200A | Higher 1500 W peak power rating, same DO-204AC package; VC = 324 V at 4.6 A; larger junction area | Over-spec'd for 600 W needs; higher clamping voltage increases protected circuit stress | Choose only when legacy 1.5KE footprint compatibility is mandatory and higher VC is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ200A and 1.5KE200A, P6KE200-E3/73 offers optimal balance of proven through-hole manufacturability, cost efficiency, and precise 274 V clamping-critical for protecting 3.3 V/5 V logic without overdesigning surge margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6KE200-E3/73 under standard test conditions?
The P6KE200-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at IPPM = 2.2 A. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during a defined surge event. The P6KE200-E3/73 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P6KE200-E3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
The P6KE200-E3/73 is RoHS-compliant and rated for –55 °C to +175 °C operation, but it carries the E3 suffix indicating commercial-grade qualification. For AEC-Q101-qualified automotive use, the HE3 variant (e.g., P6KE200AHE3/73) must be selected. The P6KE200-E3/73 itself is appropriate for non-safety-critical industrial or consumer applications where automotive qualification is not mandated.
How does the P6KE200-E3/73 differ from the P6KE200A part number?
P6KE200-E3/73 specifies the packaging and compliance version: E3 denotes RoHS-compliant matte tin plating and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while /73 indicates 7-inch reel packaging. P6KE200A is the base device type designation. The P6KE200-E3/73 is the full orderable part number reflecting both electrical and mechanical specifications required for procurement and assembly.
What is the reverse leakage current of the P6KE200-E3/73 at its rated stand-off voltage?
At VWM = 171 V and TA = 25 °C, the P6KE200-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in standby mode and avoids interference with high-impedance sensor inputs or battery-backed circuits where current budget is tightly constrained.
Can the P6KE200-E3/73 be used in bi-directional protection configurations?
No-the P6KE200-E3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by the "A" suffix. Bi-directional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., P6KE200CA). Using P6KE200-E3/73 for AC or bidirectional signal line protection would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles, causing failure. Always match suffix ("A" vs. "CA") to polarity requirements in the P6KE200-E3/73 design.
