P6KE75CA-E3

series introduction

# Introduction to the P6KE75CA - E3 Product Series

## 1. Overview
The P6KE75CA - E3 is a part of a specialized product series designed to offer reliable and efficient protection solutions in electronic circuits. These components belong to the transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode category, which plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and surges.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High Surge Capability
One of the standout features of the P6KE75CA - E3 series is its high surge current handling capacity. It can withstand large transient currents, making it suitable for applications where sudden voltage spikes are common. This high surge capability ensures that the connected electronic devices are protected from damage caused by over - voltage events, such as those resulting from lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or power supply switching transients.

### 2.2 Low Clamping Voltage
The series is engineered to provide a low clamping voltage during transient events. When a voltage spike occurs, the TVS diode quickly conducts, diverting the excess current away from the protected circuit. The low clamping voltage means that the voltage across the protected device remains within a safe range, minimizing the risk of damage to sensitive components. This is particularly important for modern electronic devices that operate at low voltage levels and are more susceptible to voltage variations.

### 2.3 Fast Response Time
The P6KE75CA - E3 diodes have an extremely fast response time. They can detect and start conducting within nanoseconds of a voltage surge, providing almost instantaneous protection to the connected circuit. This rapid response is essential in preventing damage to electronic components, as even short - duration voltage spikes can cause permanent failure in sensitive devices.

### 2.4 Low Leakage Current
In normal operating conditions, the series exhibits low leakage current. Leakage current is the small amount of current that flows through the TVS diode when it is not in a conducting state. A low leakage current ensures that the TVS diode does not consume excessive power or interfere with the normal operation of the protected circuit. This is especially important in battery - powered applications where power consumption needs to be minimized.

## 3. Electrical Specifications

### 3.1 Stand - off Voltage
The stand - off voltage of the P6KE75CA - E3 is carefully designed to allow normal operation of the protected circuit. It is the maximum DC or continuous AC voltage that the TVS diode can withstand without conducting. For the P6KE75CA - E3, the specific stand - off voltage value is optimized to ensure compatibility with a wide range of electronic systems.

### 3.2 Breakdown Voltage
The breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the TVS diode starts to conduct and divert the excess current. The P6KE75CA - E3 has a well - defined breakdown voltage, which is an important parameter for determining the protection level of the device. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, it rapidly switches to a low - impedance state to protect the circuit.

### 3.3 Peak Pulse Power Dissipation
This specification indicates the maximum power that the TVS diode can dissipate during a transient event. The P6KE75CA - E3 series is rated for a specific peak pulse power dissipation, which determines its ability to handle large voltage spikes. A higher peak pulse power dissipation means that the diode can handle more severe transient events without being damaged.

## 4. Package and Mounting
The P6KE75CA - E3 is typically available in a standard package that is easy to handle and mount on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The package design ensures good thermal performance, allowing the diode to dissipate heat effectively during operation. This is important for maintaining the reliability and longevity of
