Littelfuse, Inc. 600W Axial Leaded Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode P6KE68A

The Littelfuse P6KE series TVS diode is designed for transient voltage suppression, providing protection for sensitive electronic equipment against voltage spikes caused by lightning and other transient events. This specific model features a unidirectional configuration with a reverse standoff voltage of 58.1V and a peak pulse power dissipation capability of 800W at a 10/1000Oºs waveform. The maximum clamping voltage is rated at 92V, ensuring effective voltage limiting during transient events. The diode is housed in a DO-15 package, which is suitable for various applications in telecom, computer, industrial, and consumer electronics. It has a low reverse leakage current of less than 1OºA when the breakdown voltage is above 12V, and it is compliant with RoHS standards. The operating temperature range is from -55¬8C to 175¬8C, making it versatile for different environmental conditions. The device is also compatible with high-temperature reflow soldering processes, which is beneficial for modern manufacturing techniques. Engineers considering this product should note its fast response time, typically less than 1.0 picosecond, and its robust thermal characteristics, including a typical thermal resistance junction to lead of 20¬8C/W. Overall, this TVS diode is a reliable choice for protecting circuits from transient overvoltage conditions.
