P6KE16A

Littelfuse · TVS · DO-15

P6KE16A from Littelfuse, in a DO-15. 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 Cathode passive Cathode lead, indicated by the polarity band; connects to the positive side of the protected line for unidirectional clamping (VRWM 13.6 V, VBR 15.2 to 16.8 V at 1 mA, VC 22.5 V at 27 A for P6KE16A).
2 Anode passive Anode lead, opposite the polarity band; connects to the return/ground side of the protected line (600 W peak power at 1 ms).
