Description and Introduction

GLASS PASSIVATED JUNCTION TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR(VOLTAGE - 6.8 TO 440 Volts 400 Watt Peak Power 1.0 Watt Steady State) The **P4KE16A** from **GI (General Instrument)** is a high-performance **transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode** designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes and transients. This component is part of the **P4KE series**, known for its fast response time and robust clamping capability, making it ideal for surge protection in a variety of applications.  

With a **standoff voltage of 16V** and a **peak pulse power rating of 400W**, the P4KE16A effectively clamps transient voltages to safe levels, preventing damage to downstream components. Its **low clamping voltage** ensures minimal stress on protected circuits, while the **fast response time (typically in picoseconds)** allows it to react swiftly to sudden overvoltage events.  

Common applications include **power supplies, communication systems, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems**, where voltage surges from lightning, inductive load switching, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) pose a risk. The P4KE16A is available in a **DO-41 package**, offering a compact and reliable solution for circuit protection.  

Engineers value this TVS diode for its **high surge capability, durability, and compliance with industry standards**, making it a trusted choice for safeguarding critical electronic systems.

Alternative Part Number

  • 1N4745A --: 16V 1W Zener diode in a different series; suitable for similar clamping/regulation roles where a Zener is acceptable.
  • SMAJ16A --: 400W unidirectional TVS diode with 16V standoff, same function as P4KE16A in a different series and SMD package.
  • P6KE16A --: 600W unidirectional TVS diode with 16V standoff, higher surge rating and a different series from P4KE.
