The P6KE180-B is a TVS diode, short for Transient Voltage Suppressor diode. This device is used to protect electrical systems from voltage spikes, and it works by clamping the voltage down to a safe level once the threshold has been reached. This technology is widely used in automotive, industrial and commercial applications.

The P6KE180-B is an unidirectional device, meaning it only works in forward bias. This means that it will only conduct when voltage is applied in a positive direction. This bi-level protection protects from high positive transients, with a peak pulse power rating of 600 Watts. It is designed for use with IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection. It also meets the UL standard 1414.

The working principle behind the P6KE180-B is relatively simple. It is composed of an avalanche breakdown junction, which is used to create the low voltage drop across the device. This breakdown junction is triggered when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, usually between 6 and 8 volts, depending on the specific device. When the voltage spike exceeds this breakdown voltage, the P6KE180-B will begin conducting current, and the voltage will be clamped at the target voltage. This helps to prevent further voltage spikes.

The P6KE180-B is used in a variety of applications, due to its relatively low voltage ratings and its ability to clamp voltage spikes. It is commonly used in automotive applications such as electric windows, and is also used in industrial and commercial equipment to protect against transient voltage. This device is also used in consumer electronics, helping to prevent damage caused by voltage surges.

The P6KE180-B is an invaluable tool in protecting sensitive equipment from voltage spikes and other power-related problems. Its relatively low voltage rating and ability to clamp voltage spikes make it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. Thanks to its bi-directional protection and UL standard compliance, the P6KE180-B is a reliable, safe and effective tool in ensuring your electrical systems are safe and functioning correctly.
