# P6KE16CA

**amsem** · Electrostatic And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · DO-204AC(DO-15)

P6KE16CA from amsem, in a DO-204AC(DO-15). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | passive | First terminal of the bidirectional P6KE16CA TVS, interchangeable with the other lead, with VRWM 13.6 V, VBR 15.2 to 16.8 V at 1.0 mA and maximum clamping voltage 22.5 V at 26.7 A IPP. |
| 2 | A2 | passive | Second terminal of the bidirectional P6KE16CA TVS with no cathode band polarity, rated for 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000us) and VRWM 13.6 V in either direction. |
