Active production, 600 W peak pulse — what the ratings mean for the rail you are protecting
The P6KE250CA-B: The 214 V reverse standoff voltage means this device starts conducting only when the protected rail exceeds that level; the 237 V minimum breakdown voltage guarantees the avalanche triggers before the 344 V maximum clamping voltage, which limits the transient to 1.75 A peak pulse current.
Temperature range and package — board-fit reality for a through-hole TVS
Housed in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-lead package, it mounts through-hole on a PCB or terminal block — the axial body orientation suits point-to-point wiring or board-edge placement where a surface-mount part would shadow adjacent components during reflow. The Bulk package (tube or loose) is the standard through-hole delivery — no reel or tape for automated pick-and-place, so budget manual insertion or a tube-fed axial inserter.
