The P6KE6.8A series is designed to protect voltage sensitive components from high voltage, high energy transients. They have excellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zener impedance and fast response time. These devices are ON Semiconductor's exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable Surmetic� axial leaded package and is ideally-suited for use in communication systems, numerical controls, process controls, medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many other industrial/consumer applications.
The P6KE6.8A series is designed to protect voltage‑sensitive components from high‑energy transients in communication systems, process controls, medical equipment, power supplies and other industrial or consumer applications. The devices feature an axial‑lead Surmetic™ package, low leakage, high surge capability and a polarity‑indicating band.
Key specifications include a working peak reverse voltage range of 5.8 V to 171 V, a peak power rating of 600 W (1 ms pulse), response time typically under 1 ns, and UL 497B certification for isolated‑loop circuit protection. Mechanical data specify a void‑free thermosetting plastic case, a maximum lead soldering temperature of 230 °C, and a lead‑to‑case clearance of 1/16 in.
