STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 600 W, 2-Pin DO-15 P6KE30CA

STMicroelectronics P6KE30CA is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to provide robust protection against transient voltage spikes and surges in electronic circuits. This device supports peak pulse power dissipation of 600 watts, making it suitable for safeguarding sensitive components in power electronics, telecommunications, and industrial equipment.

The diode features a single diode configuration with bi-directional directionality, enabling it to clamp voltage spikes in both polarities effectively. It has a minimum breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 28.5 volts, a maximum reverse stand-off voltage (Vwm) of 25.6 volts, and a clamping voltage (Vc) of 53.5 volts, shielding circuits against damaging voltage transients.

Housed in a durable DO-15 through-hole package with two pins, the P6KE30CA can be readily integrated into printed circuit boards with standard mounting procedures. Its compact size of 6.75 mm length and 3.53 mm diameter allows for efficient use of PCB real estate.

This diode operates across a wide temperature range, from -65°C to 175°C, making it reliable in harsh environments or industrial conditions. It also features a maximum peak pulse current (Ippm) of 75 amperes, ensuring it can withstand sizeable transient events without failure.

The device exhibits a low maximum reverse leakage current of 1 microampere, reducing power loss and enhancing circuit efficiency. It is part of the P6KE series from STMicroelectronics, trusted for high transient voltage protection needs.

Typical applications for the P6KE30CA include transient voltage protection in power supplies, automotive electronics, telecommunications, and industrial control systems. The TVS diode helps prevent damage from voltage spikes caused by inductive loads, lightning, electrostatic discharge, or switching transients.
