Zener Transient Voltage Suppressors

Undirectional and Bidirectional

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. The P6KE6.8A series is supplied

in Motorola’s exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable Surmetic 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.

Specification Features:
