The P6KE13A-T: The reverse standoff voltage is 11.1 V, meaning the diode draws negligible leakage below this level; breakdown occurs at a minimum of 12.4 V, so a 12 V rail is protected without interfering with normal operation.
Package and board integration
Supplied in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-lead through-hole package — the body diameter and lead spacing match standard 0.100-inch pitch PCB layouts. The through-hole form factor is preferred for hand-assembly or rework where a surface-mount TVS would be difficult to inspect. Unidirectional single-channel design (one device per package) with no power-line protection feature — intended for signal or low-voltage DC rail clamping, not AC mains.
