Taiwan Semiconductor 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode, 600W, 2-Pin DO-15 P6KE15CA

Taiwan Semiconductor P6KE15CA is a high-performance 1-element bi-directional TVS Diode designed for transient voltage suppression in electronic circuits. It delivers a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 W and features a 2-pin DO-15 axial package suited for through-hole mounting on PCBs.

This diode is ideal for protecting sensitive semiconductor devices from voltage spikes and surges induced by electrostatic discharge, inductive switching, and lightning transients. Its bi-directional configuration allows protection against surges of both polarities, enhancing circuit safety and durability.

The device supports a minimum breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 14.3 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage (Vwm) of 12.8 V, ensuring precise voltage threshold control. The clamping voltage (Vc) of 21.2 V provides effective suppression during transient events, limiting voltage exposure to downstream components.

Designed for robustness, the P6KE15CA operates reliably across a broad temperature spectrum from -55°C to 175°C, including compliance with automotive grade standard AEC-Q101. The maximum peak pulse current of 29 A supports high surge transient currents without damage.

Compact physical dimensions of 7.6 mm length and 3.6 mm diameter enable easy integration in space-constrained electronic assemblies, while the DO-15 package type provides standard axial through-hole mounting convenience.

Common applications include industrial controls, automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, and other embedded systems requiring transient voltage protection.
