ON Semiconductor P6KE18ARLG TVS Diode

The ON Semiconductor P6KE18ARLG is a high-quality Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients. This component is a part of the P6KE series, which is well-known for its reliability and robust performance in harsh environments. The P6KE18ARLG TVS diode is specifically engineered to safeguard circuits against transient voltage events such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and secondary lightning effects.

Key Features:

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: The P6KE18ARLG offers excellent surge capabilities with a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 Watts for a 10/1000µs waveform, ensuring effective protection against high-energy transients.
• Breakdown Voltage: This device has a stand-off voltage of 15.3 volts, with a minimum breakdown voltage of 17.1 volts, providing a secure operating margin for electronic components that require voltage regulation and transient suppression.
• Reverse Stand-off Voltage: It features a reverse stand-off voltage of 15.3 volts, which helps to prevent leakage currents and ensure the diode remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions.
• Response Time: With a response time of less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, the P6KE18ARLG reacts almost instantaneously to transient events, offering immediate protection to your circuitry.
• Unidirectional Protection: The device provides unidirectional protection, which means it is optimized for scenarios where threats are known to occur in one polarity.
• Package: The P6KE18ARLG comes in an axial-lead package, which is preferred for through-hole mounting, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• RoHS Compliant: It is RoHS compliant, ensuring that it meets the European Union's directives on the restriction of hazardous substances.
