P6KE18CA-E3/73 TVS Diode Bi-directional 27.7V 21.7A DO-15

Description

P6KE18CA-E3/73 TVS Diode Bi-directional 27.7V 21.7A DO-15 The P6KE18CA-E3/73 is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode engineered to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and inductive load switching. Rated for 600W peak pulse power dissipation (10/1000µs waveform), it clamps transient voltages up to 25.2V while handling peak pulse currents of 24.2A. The diode operates across a wide temperature range (-55°C to +175°C) and offers a glass-passivated junction for enhanced reliability. Features: Bidirectional polarity for simplified installation in AC/DC circuits. 600W peak pulse power dissipation (10/1000µs waveform). Ultra-fast response time (<1.0ps) for real-time transient suppression. Glass-passivated junction enhances thermal stability and longevity. Specifications: Parameter Value Reverse Standoff Voltage 17.1V Breakdown Voltage Max 21V Clamping Voltage Max 27.7V Peak Pulse Current 21.7A Peak Pulse Power 600W Package Type DO-204AC(DO-15) Operating Temperature -55°Cto+175°C Leakage Current 1µA Response Time 1ps Direction Bidirectional Applications: Automotive ECUs and CAN bus interfaces for load-dump protection. Industrial motor drives and PLCs to suppress voltage transients from relay switching. Telecommunications equipment shielding against lightning-induced surges. AC/DC power supply input stages for surge absorption. Consumer electronics (e.g., routers, smart home devices) for ESD protection. Package Include: 1x P6KE18CA-E3/73 TVS Diode Bi-directional 27.7V 21.7A DO-15. Datasheet: P6KE18CA-E3/73
