Littelfuse 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 600 W, 2-Pin DO-204 P6KE43CA

Littelfuse P6KE43CA is a 1-element bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic components from damaging voltage spikes and surges. This diode supports peak pulse power dissipation of 600 W and features a 2-pin axial through-hole DO-204 package, making it suitable for reliable insertion into circuit assemblies.

The TVS diode provides a minimum breakdown voltage of 40.9 V with a clamping voltage of 59.3 V, effectively safeguarding circuits against transient overvoltages. Its bi-directional configuration makes it compatible for protection on AC and DC lines. The device operates efficiently within a temperature range from -55°C up to 175°C, ensuring performance under harsh industrial and automotive environments.

With a maximum peak pulse current of 10.3 A, the P6KE43CA can handle substantial transient currents, providing robust clamping capability. Its very low maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA minimizes power dissipation during normal operation, thereby improving energy efficiency.
