P6KE6.8 thru 200CA, e3
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, JANTXV, and JANS are
available by adding MQ, MX, MV, or MSP 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)
