Product Description

The P6KE18A TVS diode is a high-performance transient voltage suppressor designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes,ESD (electrostatic discharge),and surge events.With a 600W peak pulse power rating and a 18V breakdown voltage,this diode is widely used in power supplies,automotive systems,industrial equipment,and communication devices.

Key Features

  • Peak Pulse Power (PPP): 600W (10/1000μs pulse waveform).
  • Standoff Voltage (Vₙ): 15.3V (typical).
  • Breakdown Voltage (VBR):17.2V (min) – 18.9V (max).
  • Clamping Voltage (Vc): 25.5V.
  • 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.
