P6KE68CA 600 W Bidirectional TVS Diode – 58.1 V Standoff

P6KE68CA is a bidirectional tvs diode for transient-voltage suppression, with a 58.1 V reverse standoff voltage and 600 W peak pulse capability on a 10/1000 µs waveform. Its axial through-hole package suits compatible PCB assemblies and repair work.Key specifications Parameter Specification Part number P6KE68CA Device type Bidirectional TVS Diode Reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) 58.1 V Breakdown voltage range (VBR) 64.6–71.4 V Maximum clamping voltage (VC) 92.0 V at the reference datasheet's specified peak pulse current Peak pulse power 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) Package DO-15 / DO-204AC Mounting / terminals Through hole / 2 axial leads Polarity Bidirectional Typical applications Surge suppression on appropriately rated DC inputs Industrial electronics and power-control circuit protection Replacement of an existing P6KE68CA in a verified design Selection notesChoose the standoff voltage above the circuit's highest normal operating voltage and verify the clamping voltage, pulse energy and thermal derating against the protected circuit. A TVS suppresses short transients; it does not regulate a continuous overvoltage.Frequently asked questionsWhat is P6KE68CA used for?P6KE68CA limits short voltage transients in circuits whose normal voltage, clamping limit and pulse requirements match its datasheet.Is P6KE68CA the same as P6KE6.8CA?No. P6KE68CA has a 58.1 V standoff rating. P6KE6.8CA is a different, much lower-voltage part. The decimal point changes the electrical rating.Is 600 W a continuous power rating?No. It is a peak pulse rating for the specified transient waveform. Continuous dissipation is much lower and depends on mounting and thermal conditions.Does P6KE68CA have polarity?It is a bidirectional TVS and can suppress transients in either direction.
