Description
STMicroelectronics P6KE6V8A TVS Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode DO-41 Qty 10
This listing is for a lot of 10 STMicroelectronics P6KE6V8A bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes in the standard DO-41 axial-lead package. The P6KE6V8A is a glass-passivated, bidirectional TVS diode rated for 600W peak pulse power, designed to clamp voltage spikes and protect sensitive circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive switching transients, and other overvoltage events.

Applications
TVS diodes in the P6KE series are standard protection components used across electronics design and manufacturing. The P6KE6V8A is suited for ESD protection on I/O lines, overvoltage clamping on power rails, and transient suppression on data and signal lines operating near 5–6.8V. Bidirectional TVS diodes like this one protect circuits that carry AC signals or see both polarities of transient energy — common in RS-232, CAN bus, and other differential or AC-coupled signal lines. The DO-41 package is a through-hole form factor compatible with standard PCB layouts and breadboards, making these diodes straightforward to integrate into prototype or production boards. The P6KE series has been a widely used STMicroelectronics product line for decades, found in telecommunications equipment, industrial controls, automotive electronics, and consumer devices where transient immunity is required.
These STMicroelectronics P6KE6V8A TVS diodes are new components that have been removed from their original packaging or stored outside of it. They are new old stock — unused and unsoldered — but may have been stored for an extended period. The diodes appear physically intact with no visible damage to the body or leads. The leads show minor surface weathering consistent with storage, but solderability is expected to be good. Sold in a lot of 10, banded together. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
