STMicroelectronics P6KE300A Transient Voltage Suppressor

The STMicroelectronics P6KE300A is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system inductive load switching and lightning surges. This high-quality TVS diode is a part of STMicroelectronics' P6KE series and is specifically engineered to safeguard voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation.

Key Features

• Stand-Off Voltage: The P6KE300A has a stand-off voltage of 300V, making it suitable for a broad range of applications that require this level of voltage protection.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 Watts for 10/1000μs surge, ensuring reliable protection against high power surges.
• Breakdown Voltage: The breakdown voltage range is from 324V to 356V, providing a margin of safety above the stand-off voltage to prevent premature clamping.
• Clamping Voltage: With a maximum clamping voltage of 482V at 9.5A, the P6KE300A ensures that any transient over this limit is effectively clamped, protecting the downstream circuitry.
• Fast Response Time: The device reacts in less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, offering near-instantaneous response to transient overvoltages.
• Low Leakage Current: It has a low leakage current, which helps to reduce power loss and enhances the overall efficiency of the application in which it is used.
• Robust Construction: The P6KE300A is housed in a JEDEC DO-15 molded plastic package, known for its durability and resistance to mechanical stress.
