TVS - Diodes, including 1.5KE6V8CA-T, are designed as overvoltage protection circuits. As surge suppressors, they are often used in electronic circuits to protect them from electrical overstress (EOS)—voltages greater than normal supply voltages. They have a wide range of applications, such as in automotive electronics, home electronics, and telecommunication components.

1.5KE6V8CA-T is a high-performance, bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It is a unidirectional device with a breakdown voltage of 6.8 Volts and a peak pulse power of 1500 Watts. It is suitable for a wide array of applications such as telecommunications, automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics.

The 1.5KE6V8CA-T TVS works in a very similar way to a Zener diode. Like a Zener diode, a precise breakdown voltage is set at both ends of a TVS diode, and a very small voltage is applied between the two ends. When the set breakdown voltage is exceeded, the TVS diode will quickly shunt the high voltage rush to ground and limit the voltage across the electronic device.

With 1.5KE6V8CA-T, it provides two features: clamping and snubbing. Clamping is when the diode clamps the overvoltage and acts as a short circuit. The snubbing feature is when the diode diverts as much of the overvoltage surge as possible until the diode breaks down, which limits the scope of the damage. This provides a level of current limitation which can dynamically degrade according to the surge current.

A unique feature of 1.5KE6V8CA-T is that it is engineered to protect against high-speed and high-current pulses, mainly caused by short-circuit faults or ESD. This is achieved by its highly efficient surge handling capability that features near instantaneous matching of the peak on-state during overvoltage conditions. The round ring shape of the device also helps to dissipate heat quickly, allowing it to quickly clamp and snub high current surges.

As with other TVS devices, 1.5KE6V8CA-T should be installed in the overvoltage-prone area of a circuit. Once in place, it should perform its function, which is to protect the downstream components from harmful voltages. It is important to note that 1.5KE6V8CA-T should be placed in the correct position and use the right size to ensure that it works properly.

In summary, 1.5KE6V8CA-T is a TVS diode designed to protect electronic circuits from electrical overstress. It allows for high-speed, high-current surges to be clamped and snubbed, quickly dissipating heat so that only a minimum amount of damage is incurred. The device should be rightly installed and sized to perform correctly, and will offer the best protection for the circuit.
