The P6KE39CARL is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed by STMicroelectronics to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transient events. This TVS diode is specifically engineered to shield circuits from the destructive forces of overvoltage transients such as those caused by inductive load switching, lightning, and other unforeseen power surges.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The P6KE39CARL has a stand-off voltage of 39V, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications where this level of protection is required.
• Peak Pulse Power: It can handle a peak pulse power of 600W (10/1000μs surge), providing a high degree of protection against energy spikes.
• Breakdown Voltage Range: The device features a breakdown voltage range from 43.5V to 48.5V, ensuring that it activates to clamp excess voltage when necessary.
• Fast Response Time: The fast response time of the P6KE39CARL is crucial for quick overvoltage suppression, safeguarding components before damage can occur.
• Low Leakage Current: Designed with low leakage current, it minimizes power loss and ensures efficiency in standby or off-state conditions.
• Reverse Stand-off Voltage: The reverse stand-off voltage is designed to be non-conductive under normal conditions, providing a secure operation until a transient event occurs.
