Specifications:

The P6KE22A-E3/73 has a standoff voltage of 18.8V, a breakdown voltage of 20.9V to 23.1V, and a clamping voltage of 30.6V at a peak pulse current of 9.8A. It is a unidirectional device, meaning it primarily conducts in one direction. The peak pulse power dissipation is 600W for a 10/1000µs waveform. The operating junction temperature range is -55°C to +175°C. The device is RoHS compliant and lead-free. This TVS diode comes in a DO-15 package.

The fast response time of the P6KE22A-E3/73 ensures that it quickly clamps transient voltages, preventing them from reaching sensitive components. Its high surge capability allows it to withstand significant transient events without damage. The low clamping voltage minimizes the voltage stress on the protected circuitry, further enhancing its reliability.
