# P6KE480A

**Brightking Elec (TAIWAN)** · TVS · DO-204AC(DO-15)

P6KE480A from Brightking Elec (TAIWAN), 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 | K | passive | Cathode, marked by the color band on the unidirectional P6KE480A (VRWM 408V, VBR 456~504V at 1mA, VC 658V at IPP 0.9A); this lead goes to the positive side of the protected line. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode axial lead opposite the cathode band; for the unidirectional P6KE480A it goes to the protected line's return/ground, and the datasheet states peak forward surge current IFSM of 100A. |
