What are the key features of P6KE200ARL?
- 600 W peak pulse power with 11.3 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs) for industrial surge protection
- 200 V nominal breakdown voltage with tight ±5% tolerance (190 V to 210 V) for precise clamping thresholds
- 353 V maximum clamping voltage protects downstream components in 200 V DC rail applications
- Tape-and-reel (RL suffix) packaging for automated PCB assembly in high-volume production runs
What is P6KE200ARL used for?
The P6KE200ARL is used in industrial power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and motor drive circuits requiring protection of 200 V DC rails from transient overvoltage events. Its 600 W pulse capability and 353 V clamp voltage protect IGBTs, MOSFETs, and other semiconductors from damage caused by inductive load switching and lightning-induced surges. The RL tape-and-reel packaging variant suits high-volume automated assembly lines where placement speed and consistency are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RL suffix mean on the P6KE200ARL, and how does it differ from the standard P6KE200A?
The RL suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for the P6KE200ARL, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume PCB production. The electrical characteristics are identical to the standard P6KE200A — same 200 V nominal breakdown, 353 V maximum clamping voltage, and 600 W peak pulse power — with the difference being only the packaging format.
What is the peak pulse current rating of the P6KE200ARL for an 8/20 µs waveform?
The P6KE200ARL is rated for 11.3 A peak pulse current during an 8/20 µs transient waveform, which is the standard test waveform used for surge immunity testing in IEC 61000-4-5. This 11.3 A rating combined with the 353 V clamping voltage yields approximately 600 W peak pulse power absorption capability.
For a 180 V DC industrial bus, does the P6KE200ARL provide sufficient voltage margin to avoid false triggering?
The P6KE200ARL has a minimum breakdown voltage of 190 V, providing a 10 V margin above a 180 V DC bus under nominal conditions. Designers must ensure the bus voltage, including ripple and tolerance, stays below 190 V at all times to prevent nuisance conduction. For tighter margins, the diode capacitance of 350 pF should also be accounted for in sensitive filter circuits.
How does the P6KE200ARL perform in telecom equipment protection compared to lower-voltage P6KE series devices?
The P6KE200ARL with 200 V breakdown voltage and 353 V clamping is suited for telecom DC power rails in the 130 V to 180 V range, while lower-voltage devices like the P6KE100A with 100 V breakdown would be used on 48 V or 72 V DC bus systems. The P6KE200ARL's 600 W pulse power and 11.3 A peak pulse current cover standard telecom surge levels per ITU-T K.20 and K.21 requirements at higher bus voltages.
Can the P6KE200ARL be used in parallel configurations to increase total surge current capacity?
Parallel operation of TVS diodes like the P6KE200ARL is possible but requires careful matching because slight differences in breakdown voltage (190 V to 210 V range) can cause unequal current sharing during transient events. When paralleling two P6KE200ARL devices, the total peak pulse current approaches 22.6 A (8/20 µs) and combined power handling nears 1200 W, but series resistance or tight lot matching of 5 V or less breakdown spread is recommended for reliable sharing.
