Device identity and key parametrics
The P6KE180ARL is a TVS diode from onsemi, part of the P6KE series (*), designed for transient voltage suppression in circuit protection applications. It is, which is a standard option for through-hole or axial-lead devices, suitable for manual or automated assembly lines.
Because the lifecycle stage is current, this part is a low-obsolescence-risk line item for BOM planning.
Breakdown voltage and application fit
The breakdown voltage of the P6KE180ARL is specified as part of the P6KE180A variant — the 'A' suffix denotes a 5% tolerance on the standoff voltage, which is typical for TVS diodes used in DC power rail clamping.
