STMicroelectronics 1-Element Uni-Directional TVS Diode 600 W 2-Pin DO-15 P6KE400A

STMicroelectronics P6KE400A is a 1-Element Uni-Directional Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge within electronic circuits. It handles a peak pulse power dissipation of 600 W, ensuring robust transient voltage suppression in harsh electrical environments.

The diode configuration is single with uni-directional conduction, suitable for circuits that require protection against positive voltage spikes. Encapsulated in a DO-15 package, it supports through-hole mounting facilitating easy integration into circuit boards.

Its operational temperature range from -65°C to 175°C allows deployment in a variety of industrial and commercial electronics applications, including power supplies, automotive electronics (non-certified), telecommunications, and consumer electronics protection.

Electrical characteristics include a minimum breakdown voltage of 380 V, a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 342 V, and a clamping voltage of 706 V, providing reliable voltage spike containment. Furthermore, the device supports a maximum peak pulse current of 5.7 A, enabling it to absorb substantial transient surges without damage.

The compact physical dimensions of 6.75 mm length and 3.53 mm diameter make it suitable for high-density assemblies. With a very low maximum reverse leakage current of just 1 μA, it minimizes leakage losses, enhancing circuit efficiency.

This TVS diode does not conform to specific automotive standards but is widely deployed in general-purpose transient voltage protection scenarios in industrial, laboratory, electronic manufacturing, and telecommunications sectors.

Single diode configuration ensures reliable clamping of voltage surges. Uni-directional design protects circuits from voltage spikes in one direction. Operates within temperature range from -65°C to 175°C for robust performance.

Through-hole mount type with DO-15 package enables easy PCB assembly. Rated for 342 V maximum reverse stand-off voltage and 380 V minimum breakdown voltage. Provides a clamping voltage of 706 V to limit transient voltages.

Supports a maximum peak pulse current of 5.7 A for transient surge protection. Compact dimensions of 6.75 mm length and 3.53 mm diameter suit space-constrained designs. Low maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA reduces unwanted power loss.

Designed without automotive standard certification, primarily for general electronic protection use.
