P600M-E3

Vishay Intertech · Diodes - General Purpose · P600

P600M-E3 from Vishay Intertech, in a P600. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode lead at the color-band end of the P600 axial body; the P600M blocks up to 1000 V VRRM (700 V VRMS) and carries 6.0 A average forward current.
2 A passive Anode lead at the end opposite the color band of the P600 axial body; conducts up to 6.0 A average forward current with VF of 1.0 V max at 6.0 A and 400 A peak surge (8.3 ms).
