STMicroelectronics P6KE82CA TVS Diode

The P6KE82CA is a high-quality Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed and manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a leader in the semiconductor industry. This robust diode is engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-induced surge events and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The P6KE82CA is a bidirectional TVS diode, making it suitable for AC applications or situations where the polarity reverses.

Key Features

• Stand-off Voltage: The P6KE82CA has a stand-off voltage of 70.1V, which provides a margin of safety for electronics that operate at lower voltages, ensuring that the TVS diode remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions.
• Peak Pulse Power: It has the capability to handle peak pulse power of 600W for 10/1000μs waveforms, which enables it to absorb high transient power without damage.
• Breakdown Voltage: The breakdown voltage range is between 77.9V and 86.1V, ensuring reliable clamping performance when voltage transients occur.
• Response Time: With a response time typically less than 1 picosecond from 0V to BV min, the P6KE82CA provides immediate protection against transient voltages.
• Package: The device comes in a DO-15 package, which is known for its axial leads and ease of installation.
• Operating Temperature: It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
