Device identity and key parametrics
The P6KE20CA-T: The single bidirectional channel means this part clamps transients of either polarity, simplifying board layout for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where the reference is not ground-referenced.
Diodes Incorporated lists the P6KE20CA-T as Obsolete. For existing BOM positions, the part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Availability and pricing are confirmed at RFQ against the specific quantity and date-code requirement.
The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to +175°C, covering industrial and some automotive under-hood environments where the ambient sees sustained heat soak. Through-hole DO-15 axial package — the leads are tin-plated copper, compatible with wave-solder and hand-solder rework. The body diameter is standard for the P6KE family, so existing PCB footprints and lead-forming tooling carry over without change.
