600 W unidirectional TVS — 136 V standoff, 152 V breakdown
The P6KE160A-T is a 600 W peak-pulse-power TVS diode from Diodes Incorporated, part of the P6KE series.
Clamping voltage and peak current — the protection envelope
The 219 V clamping voltage at 2.7 A means a 136 V nominal rail is held below 219 V during a 600 W pulse. If the downstream components have a higher absolute maximum rating, the margin is adequate; if they are rated below 219 V, a lower-clamping TVS or additional filtering is needed. The junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C, which covers industrial and military-grade environments. No power line protection is offered — this is a signal or low-power rail suppressor, not a mains transient protector.
DO-15 axial package — through-hole board fit
Housed in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-lead package, the P6KE160A-T is a through-hole device. The DO-15 body is a standard footprint for 600 W-class TVS diodes, compatible with wave-solder and hand-solder assembly.
Obsolete — sourced through independent channels
Diodes Incorporated lists the P6KE160A-T as Obsolete. For existing BOM positions, this part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Availability is lot-specific and confirmed at the time of RFQ; date-code and traceability documentation are provided with each shipment.
