1.5KE6.8 is a type of transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS) that is used to protect electronic circuits from voltage transients or spikes. It is a unidirectional TVS diode that is designed to conduct when the voltage across it exceeds a certain threshold level.
The 1.5KE in the part number refers to the type of package, which is a DO-201AE package that can handle a peak pulse power of 1500 watts. The 6.8 in the part number refers to the breakdown voltage of the diode, which is 6.8 volts.
The 1.5KE6.8 diode is commonly used in a variety of applications where protection against voltage surges or spikes is required, such as in power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. It can also be used in circuit protection for sensitive electronic devices such as microprocessors and memory chips.
When selecting a TVS diode such as the 1.5KE6.8 for a circuit, it's important to choose a diode with a voltage rating that is higher than the maximum voltage that the circuit is expected to experience. This will ensure that the diode can effectively suppress any voltage surges or spikes and protect the circuit.
