What are the key features of P6KE200CA?

  • 600 W peak pulse power dissipation supporting both AC and DC transient events
  • Bidirectional operation with 200 V nominal breakdown voltage and ±5% tolerance (190 V to 210 V)
  • Lower junction capacitance of 175 pF compared to unidirectional variant, benefiting AC signal line protection
  • UL recognized DO-15 axial package suitable for through-hole safety-critical designs

What is P6KE200CA used for?

The P6KE200CA is designed for AC power line protection, industrial automation control systems, and motor drive circuits where voltage transients can occur in both polarities. Its bidirectional clamping at 353 V and 600 W peak pulse power make it effective at protecting rectifier bridges, PLC I/O modules, and sensor interfaces from lightning-induced and switching surges. The lower capacitance of 175 pF compared to the unidirectional version is also advantageous in AC coupled signal protection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the P6KE200CA bidirectional TVS over the unidirectional P6KE200A for AC line protection?

The P6KE200CA clamps transients in both polarities, making it essential for AC mains interfaces where positive and negative spikes both occur. Both devices share 600 W peak pulse power and 353 V maximum clamping voltage, but the bidirectional P6KE200CA protects against full AC cycle surges that would bypass the unidirectional variant.

What is the junction capacitance of the P6KE200CA, and how does it affect high-frequency signal line protection?

The P6KE200CA has a minimum junction capacitance of 175 pF, which is lower than the 350 pF of the unidirectional P6KE200A. This reduced capacitance makes it better suited for protecting AC signal lines and communication interfaces where excessive capacitance would degrade signal integrity.

In a 200 V AC motor drive application, how does the P6KE200CA handle inductive kickback spikes?

For a 200 V AC motor drive, the P6KE200CA clamps inductive kickback transients to a maximum of 353 V at its rated current, with a breakdown voltage range of 190 V to 210 V. Its 600 W pulse capability absorbs the energy from inductive switching spikes without requiring additional snubber networks in many designs.

What breakdown voltage tolerance does the P6KE200CA offer, and is it suitable for systems with 180 V nominal rails?

The P6KE200CA provides a breakdown voltage range of 190 V minimum to 210 V maximum (±5% around 200 V nominal). For 180 V nominal rails with typical sag, there is a sufficient margin of at least 10 V between maximum operating voltage and minimum breakdown voltage, making the P6KE200CA appropriate for such designs.

What package does the P6KE200CA use and what are its mounting considerations for high-density PCB layouts?

The P6KE200CA comes in the DO-15 axial through-hole package with horizontal mounting capability. The DO-15 body measures approximately 5.4 mm in diameter and 7.5 mm in length, requiring board clearance for 600 W rated peak power dissipation and adequate lead spacing for voltage isolation in 200 V circuit environments.
