P6KE18CA-T

The P6KE18CA-T is a 600W bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from Diodes Incorporated. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge. The device offers a clamping voltage of 25.2V at a peak pulse current of 24A, ensuring robust protection for circuits operating with a reverse standoff voltage of 15.3V.

This TVS diode features a fast response time and excellent clamping capability, making it suitable for general-purpose protection applications. It is constructed with a glass passivated die for reliability and is available in both unidirectional and bidirectional versions; this specific part is bidirectional.

The P6KE18CA-T is packaged in a DO-15 (DO-204AC) axial leaded through-hole package, which is suitable for automated insertion and manual assembly. The package is molded plastic with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the leads are plated and solderable per MIL-STD-202. The device operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C and has a thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 75°C/W.

With a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W (1ms pulse) and a peak forward surge current of 100A (8.3ms half sine wave), the P6KE18CA-T provides reliable transient protection for a variety of electronic systems. It is RoHS3 compliant and has a moisture sensitivity level of 1 (unlimited).
