through
P6KE200A
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:
• Standard Zener Voltage Range — 6.8 to 200 Volts
• Peak Power — 600 Watts @ 1 ms
• Maximum Clamp Voltage @ Peak Pulse Current
• Low Leakage < 5 µA Above 10 Volts
• Maximum Temperature Coefficient Specified
• UL Recognition
• Response Time is Typically < 1 ns
