Product Description

The P6KE12CA is designed in axially perforated DO-15 package with a peak power rating of 600W. It has extremely fast response time (sub-nanosecond) and very high stability. Designed specifically for the protection of various interfaces in electronic circuit applications from transient voltages caused by lightning strikes and other transient voltage events.

Key Features

  • Bidirectional Protection: Clamps both positive and negative voltage transients.
  • Peak Pulse Power (PPP): 600W (10/1000μs pulse waveform).
  • Standoff Voltage (Vₙ): 10.2V (typical).
  • Breakdown Voltage (VBR):11.4V (min) – 12.6V (max).
  • Clamping Voltage (Vc): 16.7V.
  • Fast Response Time: <1ps for effective transient suppression.
  • Low Leakage Current: Ensures minimal power loss during normal operation.
  • DO-15 Package: Robust and easy to mount in various PCB designs.
