It is designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection and clamps transients on a single line. With a peak pulse power rating of 600W and a minimum breakdown voltage of 44.7V, it protects a 40.2V nominal rail by clamping at 84V maximum under a 48A peak pulse current (8/20µs waveform). The single bidirectional channel means it handles both positive and negative transients in one device — no need to orient it on the board. ## Package and mounting Housed in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial leaded through-hole package, the P6KE47CARL mounts into a standard 0.4-inch lead spacing footprint. The axial form factor suits point-to-point wiring on terminal strips or PCB through-hole layouts. Capacitance measures 400pF at 1MHz — a consideration for high-speed data lines where added capacitance may degrade signal edges.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics P6KE47CARL TVS Diode, 600W Bidirectional","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics P6KE47CARL bidirectional Zener TVS diode, 600W peak pulse power, 44.7V breakdown, DO-15 axial package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"STMicroelectronics","Type":"Zener","Series":"P6KE, TRANSIL™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Power - Peak Pulse":"600W","Base Product Number":"P6KE","Operating Temperature":"-","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"400pF @ 1MHz","Supplier Device Package":"DO-15 (DO-204AC)","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"44.7V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"84V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"40.2V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"48A (8/20µs)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5900","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/d21127580ed2e5c86eab4a11f0f1e77c.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the exact replacement for P6KE47CARL?","answer":"For a form-fit-function replacement, look for a bidirectional TVS diode in the P6KE TRANSIL™ family with the same 600W peak pulse power, 44.7V breakdown voltage, and DO-15 package.
