P6KE Automotive Series
TVS devices are ideal for the protection of I/O interfaces,
VCC bus and other vulnerable circuits used in telecom,
computer, industrial and consumer electronic applications.
Applications
Features
The P6KE Automotive Series is designed specifically
to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage
transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage
events.
