Product details

600 W TRANSIL for 213 V rail protection

It delivers 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform) and clamps at a maximum of 442 V, with a guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage of 237 V.

The 442 V maximum clamping voltage is the ceiling the protected circuit must survive — any downstream component rated below that sees overstress. The 237 V minimum breakdown ensures the device starts conducting before the rail exceeds the 213 V reverse standoff, so normal operation stays below the trigger threshold. With a peak pulse current rating of 9 A (8/20 µs), this part handles repetitive surge events typical of inductive load switching or lightning-induced transients on outdoor cabling.

For BOM planning, this removes the urgency to stockpile or qualify a substitute — though the usual lead-time variability for through-hole TVS diodes still applies.

Frequently asked questions

Is P6KE250ARL a direct replacement for P6KE250A?

The P6KE250ARL shares the same base part number (P6KE250) and electrical ratings — 213 V standoff, 237 V breakdown, 442 V clamp, 600 W peak pulse power. The 'RL' suffix typically denotes tape-and-reel packaging. It is functionally identical to the P6KE250A for surge protection applications; verify the packaging format (bulk vs reel) for your assembly process.
