Product details

What the P6KE68CARL protects and how it clamps

The STMicroelectronics P6KE68CARL is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode from the P6KE TRANSIL™ series. It offers a single bidirectional channel rated for 600 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs waveform), with a reverse standoff voltage of 58 V, a minimum breakdown voltage of 64.6 V, and a maximum clamping voltage of 121 V at 33 A (8/20 µs waveform).

The 600 W rating is the device's peak pulse power dissipation capability for an 8/20 µs waveform, which translates to a 33 A peak pulse current. This part clamps at 121 V maximum, so a 58 V nominal rail sees the transient clipped well before it reaches destructive levels.

The P6KE68CARL is listed as obsolete by STMicroelectronics.

Through-hole DO-15 — mounting and reflow considerations

The DO-15 axial package is a through-hole form factor intended for wave soldering or hand-solder assembly. It is not a surface-mount part, so it does not have an MSL rating for reflow.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy P6KE68CARL with available via RFQ confirmation?

The P6KE68CARL is obsolete and not stocked in active distribution.

What is the capacitance value of P6KE68CARL?

The P6KE68CARL has a typical capacitance of 312.5 pF measured at 1 MHz. This capacitance is a consideration for signal integrity on high-speed data lines, as it can load the line and affect rise times.
