P6KE18CA TVS Diode 600W 18V (Bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor ESD Protection Diode)

The P6KE18CA is a high-power bidirectional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), lightning surges, and other transient overvoltage events. With a 600W peak pulse power rating and a working standoff voltage of 15.3V, it provides fast bidirectional clamping to protect AC and DC power lines, communication interfaces, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and embedded electronic devices from damaging voltage transients.

Packaged in a DO-15 through-hole package, the P6KE18CA offers low leakage current, excellent surge handling capability, and reliable protection against both positive and negative voltage spikes.
