P6KE6.8A/D

P6KE6.8A Series

600 Watt Peak Power

Surmetict-40 Zener Transient

Voltage Suppressors

Unidirectional*

The P6KE6.8A series is designed to protect voltage sensitive

components from high voltage, high energy transients. They have

excellent clamping capability, high surge capability, low zener

impedance and fast response time. These devices are

ON Semiconductor’s exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable

Surmetic

t axial leaded package and is ideally-suited for use in

communication systems, numerical controls, process controls,

medical equipment, business machines, power supplies and many

other industrial/consumer applications.
