P6KE20A is a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes, such as those caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive load switching, or lightning strikes.
-
P6KE: Series name (P6KE series are TVS diodes designed for 600 W peak pulse power).
-
20: Standoff voltage or nominal working voltage is around 20 volts.
-
A: Unidirectional type (can protect in one direction only; there's also a CA version which is bidirectional).
