ON Semiconductor P6SMB15CAT3 Transient Voltage Suppressor

The ON Semiconductor P6SMB15CAT3 is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. This device is specifically engineered to safeguard components in electronic circuits that are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and other high-energy disturbances.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The P6SMB15CAT3 provides a stand-off voltage of 15V, making it suitable for a range of applications where this level of protection is required.
• Peak Pulse Power: With a peak pulse power dissipation of 600W (10/1000µs waveform), this TVS can handle significant power surges, ensuring reliable protection for your circuitry.
• Breakdown Voltage: The device has a precise breakdown voltage range, ensuring that protection kicks in at the appropriate voltage level without affecting the normal operation of the protected circuit.
• Fast Response Time: The P6SMB15CAT3 features an exceptionally fast response time to transient events, providing near-instantaneous protection from voltage spikes.
• Low Incremental Surge Resistance: The low surge resistance of this TVS minimizes the voltage drop across the protector during a surge event, enhancing the protection efficiency.
