The recommended footprint and land pattern for the TP6KE18CA 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 is recommended to derate the power rating of the TP6KE18CA according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet. Additionally, ensure that the device is properly soldered and that the PCB is designed to minimize thermal resistance.
Yes, the TP6KE18CA is AEC-Q101 qualified, which means it meets the stringent requirements for automotive applications. However, it is recommended to consult with Littelfuse's automotive support team to ensure that the device meets the specific requirements of the application.
To select the correct TVS diode, consider the following factors: voltage rating, peak pulse current, and clamping voltage. The TP6KE18CA has a voltage rating of 18V, a peak pulse current of 6000A, and a clamping voltage of 30.8V. Ensure that these parameters meet the requirements of your application.
The main difference between the TP6KE18CA and other TVS diodes in the same series is the voltage rating. The TP6KE18CA has a voltage rating of 18V, while other devices in the series have different voltage ratings (e.g., TP6KE15CA has a voltage rating of 15V). Choose the device that best matches the voltage requirements of your application.
