P4KE13CA 13 V 400 W Bi-Directional TVS Diode | DO-41 | Industrial & Telecom Surge Protector HORNBY

The P4KE13CA is a 13 V, 400 W bi-directional TVS diode designed to protect low-voltage AC/DC rails, industrial automation systems, telecom lines, and sensitive electronics from high-energy transient events. Its fast avalanche response and controlled breakdown in both polarities provide reliable clamping during load-dump events, inductive switching, and voltage surges.
