The P6KE82A-T: For a BOM line that depends on this exact TVS, the supply path runs through independent distribution.
Protection window and what it guards
The reverse standoff voltage is 70.1 V, meaning the diode stays transparent on a 48 V or 60 V rail and only conducts when the line exceeds that threshold. Breakdown is guaranteed between 77.9 V minimum and the clamp voltage — this window protects downstream semiconductors rated for 100 V or less from surges like inductive kickback or lightning-coupled transients on a DC bus.
DO-15 axial — board-fit reality
Through-hole DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package with a 0.025-inch diameter lead. The part stands off the board on its own body; the leads are formed for through-hole insertion and wave solder. No MSL concern — the molded epoxy body is moisture-insensitive at room ambient, so it survives the oven without a pre-bake.
