P6KE6.8 thru 200A
DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
This P6KE series is an economical 600 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS)
for protecting voltage-sensitive components from destruction or degradation. It
is available in both unidirectional and bi-directional configurations as well as
RoHS Compliant (annealed matte-Tin finish) with an e3 suffix added to the part
number. The response time of their clamping action is virtually instantaneous.
As a result, they may also be used effectively for protection from ESD or EFT
per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 or for inductive switching environments
and induced RF. They can also be used for protecting other sensitive
components from secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5 and class
levels defined herein. Microsemi also offers numerous other TVS products to
meet higher and lower power demands and special applications.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com T-18
FEATURES APPLIC ATIONS / BENEFITS
Available in both unidirectional and bidirectional
(add C or CA suffix to part number for bidirectional)
Optional 100% screening for avionics grade is
available by adding MA prefix to part number for added
100% temperature cycle -55oC to +125oC (10X) as well
as surge (3X) and 24 hours HTRB with post test VZ &
IR (in the operating direction for unidirectional or both
directions for bidirectional)
Options for screening in accordance with MIL-PRF-
19500 for JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV are available by
adding MQ, MX, or MV prefixes respectively to part
numbers.
Surface mount equivalents available as SMBJP6KE6.8
to SMBJP6KE200CA or SMBJ5.0 to SMBJ170CA
(consult factory for other surface mount options)
Moisture classification is Level 1 with no dry pack
required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B
RoHS Compliant devices available by adding “e3” suffix
Selections for 6.8 to 200 volts breakdown (VBR)
Economical TVS series for thru-hole mounting
Protects sensitive components such as IC’s,
CMOS, Bipolar, BiCMOS, ECL, DTL, T2L, etc.
Protection from switching transients & induced RF
Compliant to IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 for
