P6KE180A-G TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppressors are non-destructive components that protect electrical and electronic components from over-voltage transients such as indirect lightning strikes and over-voltage events on power lines. This protection is provided by the P6KE180A-G diode, which is a member of series of compact TVS - Diodes designed to protect electronics from environmental transients.

Application Field

Common applications of the P6KE180A-G include protecting sensitive components from over-voltage transients in automobiles, televisions, audio equipment, computers, industrial robots, consumer electronics, power drives, and most other equipment that may be exposed to over-voltage transients.

Due to its size and low breakdown voltage, the P6KE180A-G is ideal for small components with limited space on the board, such as laptop computers, LCD monitors, and any other application that requires a low-profile package to save board space around the device.

Working Principle

The P6KE180A-G provides protection from over-voltage transients with a high peak power capability of up to 600 Watts. This diode\'s internal structure is designed to clamp over-voltage transients, protecting components from the effects of voltage surges. When an over-voltage event occurs, this diode redirects the over-voltage current away from the protected circuitry and sends it to the ground. This prevents damage to the components and circuits within the system.

The P6KE180A-G diode can handle over-voltage transients up to 180V. This is achieved through its unidirectional operation, which allows for the diode to only be conductive when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. This threshold, known as the breakdown voltage or remote voltage, is usually within a few volts of the specified breakdown voltage of the diode.

Since the P6KE180A-G diode is designed to handle over-voltage transients, it is not suitable for use as a replacement for a normal diode in a circuit. It must be used as a protection device in a circuit where over-voltage transients may be present.

Conclusion

The P6KE180A-G TVS - Diode is a compact, low-profile diode designed to protect sensitive components from over-voltage transients. It has an impressive peak power capability of up to 600 Watts and is ideal for small components with limited space on the board. This diode\'s unique unidirectional operation allows it to redirect the over-voltage current away from the protected circuitry and into the ground, protecting the components from damage.
