Product details
Overview
P6KE62CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage protection in power supplies and automotive electronics. It features a 62V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR min 55.8V, max 68.2V), 50.2V standoff voltage (VWM), 89.0V clamping voltage at 7.0A peak surge current, and operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the P6KE62CH datasheet, P6KE62CH pinout, P6KE62CH application, or P6KE62CH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000μs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-15 package compatibility with high-reliability board layouts, and low leakage (<1μA @ 50.2V) in standby conditions.
Technical Context
The P6KE62CH implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for fast transient suppression. Its sub-nanosecond response time (<1.0ps from 0V to VBR) enables effective clamping of ESD and EFT events before downstream ICs are damaged. The device uses a single-die DO-204AC (DO-15) package with axial leads and cathode band marking.
It delivers 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10/1000μs waveform, with thermal derating above 25°C ambient per Fig.2. Junction temperature rating up to +175°C supports under-hood automotive deployment, and its AEC-Q101 qualification (denoted by "H" suffix) confirms stress-test compliance for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 55.8V / 68.2V - defines guaranteed avalanche conduction onset window under 1mA test current |
| VWM | 50.2V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets system operating margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 89.0V @ 7.0A - clamping voltage during 10/1000μs surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case overvoltage |
| PPK | 600W - peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |
| IR @ VWM | <1μA - ultra-low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| TJ max | +175°C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., MOSFETs, transformers) without thermal derating penalties |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - industry-standard axial leaded package with 0.400g mass and UL 94V-0 molding compound |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) package: axial-leaded, molded plastic case with cathode band marking on unidirectional devices. Leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 SMAJ60A | 600W rating, 60V VBR (min 57V), DO-214AC package - surface-mount, higher thermal resistance than DO-15 | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better suited for space-constrained designs vs. through-hole reliability focus | Select when automated assembly and board density outweigh axial-lead mechanical robustness needs |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5KE62A | 600W rating, 62V VBR (min 55.8V), DO-201AD package - larger case, 7.0A IPP, 89.0V VC identical | Same clamping performance but heavier (1.1g) and less compatible with legacy DO-15 footprints | Choose only if existing design uses DO-201AD or requires higher mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments |
Compared with SMAJ60A and 1.5KE62A, the P6KE62CH offers AEC-Q101 qualification out-of-box, DO-15 footprint compatibility with legacy automotive boards, and identical 89.0V clamping-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial replacements where qualification traceability and through-hole reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What does the "H" suffix in P6KE62CH signify?
The "H" suffix in P6KE62CH indicates full AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming the device has passed accelerated stress tests-including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD-required for automotive electronic components. This distinguishes it from standard P6KE62C variants and validates its use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules where reliability is critical. The P6KE62CH meets all test conditions defined in the AEC-Q101 standard revision.
How does P6KE62CH differ from P6KE62A?
The P6KE62CH is AEC-Q101 qualified and uses the same electrical specifications as P6KE62A (VBR min 55.8V, max 68.2V; VC = 89.0V @ 7.0A), but differs in qualification status and marking. P6KE62A lacks AEC-Q101 validation and is intended for commercial/industrial use only. Both share DO-204AC packaging and 600W surge rating, but only P6KE62CH carries the "H" suffix and associated automotive traceability documentation required for Tier 1 supplier BOMs.
Can P6KE62CH be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P6KE62CH is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used in bidirectional applications. Its cathode band marking and internal structure support clamping only in reverse bias; forward conduction occurs above ~1.2V, making it unsuitable for AC line protection. For bidirectional surge suppression, select P6KE62CA (with "CA" suffix), which uses dual-die construction and symmetrical VBR in both directions-P6KE62CH is strictly for DC rail protection with defined polarity.
What is the maximum allowable mounting temperature for P6KE62CH during reflow or hand-soldering?
P6KE62CH uses a DO-204AC (DO-15) package with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, supporting peak solder temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds during wave or hand-soldering. Reflow is not applicable due to axial lead construction. Thermal exposure beyond these limits risks compromising the UL 94V-0 molding compound integrity or inducing intermetallic growth at the lead-frame interface-always verify process profiles using IPC-J-STD-020 guidelines for through-hole components.
Is P6KE62CH RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, P6KE62CH is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with brominated flame retardants and chlorine/bromine content below 900 ppm each. This compliance is verified in TSC's material declarations and supports environmental requirements for CE-marked industrial equipment and automotive ECUs. The "G" marking on the device body denotes green compound usage, aligning with WEEE and ELV directive expectations.
