Product details

600W Zener TVS in T-18 axial — obsolete but still in demand

The P6KE13ARL is a 600W peak pulse power Zener TVS diode from onsemi, designed to clamp transients on 12V nominal rails. With a reverse standoff voltage of 11.1V and a maximum clamping voltage of 18.2V at 33A (8/20µs pulse), it protects downstream circuitry from surges without conducting at normal line voltage. The T-18 axial package suits through-hole board layouts where a soldered lead provides mechanical retention under vibration.

Clamping window and pulse handling

The breakdown voltage range starts at 12.4V minimum, ensuring the device does not clip the 12V rail during normal operation. The 18.2V clamp limits the peak voltage seen by the load, which is within the absolute maximum rating of many 12V-rated DC-DC converters and linear regulators. The 600W peak pulse rating at 10/1000µs waveform gives a margin for industrial surge requirements like IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2.

onsemi lists the P6KE13ARL as Obsolete.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between P6KE13A and P6KE13ARL?

The electrical specifications are identical: both are 600W Zener TVS with 11.1V standoff and 18.2V clamp. The only difference is packaging — P6KE13ARL ships in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place, while P6KE13A comes in bulk tube. If your assembly line feeds from tape, the 'RL' suffix matters; for hand-insertion or tube-fed machines, P6KE13A is a drop-in substitute.

What are the specifications of P6KE13ARL?

It is a Zener TVS diode with 600W peak pulse power, 11.1V reverse standoff voltage, 12.4V minimum breakdown voltage, and 18.2V maximum clamping voltage at 33A (8/20µs pulse). Package is T-18 axial, through-hole mount, supplied in Tape & Reel.
