P6SMB6.8CA   DO214AA(SMB)

P6SMB6.8CA Diode

The P6SMB6.8CA diode is a high-quality bidirectional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) designed to protect sensitive electronic components from damaging transient voltage spikes. Its ability to respond instantly to voltage surges caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or magnetic induction ensures the reliability and longevity of systems. The SMB package also provides an optimal balance between power dissipation capability and PCB space efficiency.

Key Features and Specifications of P6SMB6.8CA

The P6SMB6.8CA features a bidirectional structure, allowing protection of both signal and power lines where transients of either polarity may occur. This is particularly important in communication systems and low-voltage AC lines.

The main technical parameters of the P6SMB6.8CA TVS diode are:

• Peak pulse power (Ppp): 600W (for 10/1000µs pulse).
• Working standoff voltage (Vrwm): 5.8V.
• Breakdown voltage (Vbr): 6.45V to 7.14V (measured at 10mA).
• Maximum clamping voltage (Vc): 10.5V at peak pulse current.
• Response time: Extremely fast, on the order of picoseconds (ps).
• Package: SMB (DO-214AA), suitable for automatic surface-mount assembly (SMD).

The use of glass passivation in the diode structure enhances aging resistance and ensures stable electrical parameters across a wide operating temperature range.

Typical Applications of P6SMB6.8CA

Thanks to its ability to absorb large amounts of energy in a very short time, the P6SMB6.8CA TVS diode is an essential protective component in modern electronics, used for:

• Protecting data and I/O lines in microcontrollers from ESD damage.
• Safeguarding low-voltage communication buses.
• Filtering voltage spikes in switching power supplies and battery charging circuits.
• Protecting integrated circuits in automotive and industrial electronics.
• Telecommunication systems, where rapid response to transient disturbances is required.
