P6KE350A-G Circuit Protection

TVS-Diodes are unidirectional, usually silicon, semiconductor devices designed to protect a circuit from overvoltage transients. They are commonly used in automotive, telecom, medical and industrial applications to enhance the performance and reliability of electronic equipment. The P6KE350A-G is a 350V, 1500W unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) thyristor designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients caused by lightning, static discharge, switching transients, electrical fast transients (EFT), induced lightning, etc.The P6KE350A-G has a step response time of less than 1ns and can absorb up to 1500W peak pulse power. It is designed for use in boards with SMD layout, and has a low profile for easy mounting. Its maximum peak standoff voltage is 350V and its maximum clamping voltage, measured across 1.2/50μs waveform, is 622V. The devices have an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.The P6KE350A-G TVS diode has two key operational modes. When the device is exposed to a transient overvoltage or surge form, it will immediately clamp the reverse voltage, limiting the current to a safe level. Once the transient has passed, the TVS will reset and the circuit will return to its normal operating mode. If the voltage is too high for the TVS to clamp, it will break down and provide a safe conductive path for the current, ensuring the circuit is not damaged by the surge.The TVS diode is designed to protect electronic components from a wide range of transients, such as lightning, static discharge, switching transients and EFT, and has high surge current capability for high-frequency transients. It has excellent clamping capability, fast response time and low capacitance, making it ideal for protecting a range of sensitive electronic applications.In conclusion, the P6KE350A-G TVS diode is a versatile and reliable device designed to protect a range of electronic components from overvoltage transients. Its fast response time, high surge current capability and low capacitance make it an ideal choice for a range of applications.
