The recommended footprint and land pattern for P4KE6.8A can be found in the Littelfuse application note AN9313, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of TVS diodes.
To ensure reliability in high-temperature applications, it's essential to follow the recommended derating curves for the P4KE6.8A, which can be found in the datasheet. Additionally, consider using a thermally conductive interface material and ensuring good thermal conduction to the PCB.
While it's technically possible to use multiple P4KE6.8A devices in parallel, it's not recommended as it can lead to uneven current sharing and reduced overall reliability. Instead, consider using a single device with a higher power rating or consulting with a Littelfuse application engineer for a custom solution.
To select the correct P4KE6.8A variant, consider the specific requirements of your application, including the maximum voltage, current, and power rating. Consult the datasheet and Littelfuse's selection guide to determine the most suitable device for your needs.
The P4KE6.8A is designed to provide ESD protection up to ±30kV, exceeding the requirements of the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. However, the actual ESD protection capability may vary depending on the specific application and PCB layout.
