Overview of Diodes Incorporated P6KE18CA-T

The P6KE18CA-T is a high-quality transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode from Diodes Incorporated, designed to provide your electronic circuits with robust protection against voltage spikes and surges. This component is a bidirectional TVS diode, which means it can clamp transient voltages that exceed the breakdown voltage in both positive and negative directions, safeguarding sensitive electronics from damage due to electrical overstress (EOS).

Key Features

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: The P6KE18CA-T is capable of handling a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W for a 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring reliable performance during transient conditions.
• Breakdown Voltage: It has a stand-off voltage of 15.3V, with a minimum breakdown voltage of 17.1V and a maximum of 18.9V, providing a precise protection window for your circuits.
• Response Time: With a fast response time, typically less than 1.0 picosecond from 0V to BV min, it quickly reacts to overvoltage events, minimizing potential damage.
• Package: The P6KE18CA-T comes in an axial leaded package that is designed for easy installation and is compatible with various PCB layouts.
• Operating Temperature: It operates within a wide temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Compliance: This device meets the MSL level 1 standard, per J-STD-020, and is lead-free from an environmental and RoHS perspective.
