MLCE6.5AE3 [Microchip]

This is a series of high-reliability plastic encapsulated Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes designed for thru-hole mounting. They feature very low capacitance (< 100 pF), making them ideal for protecting high-frequency signal lines. The series includes a rectifier diode element in series and opposite direction, allowing for unidirectional or bidirectional (using two in anti-parallel) transient protection. Key features include 100% surge testing, suppression of transients up to 1500 watts at 10/1000μs, working standoff voltage range from 6.5 V to 170 V, and options for 5% and 10% tolerance. They are suitable for applications requiring low capacitance and high reliability, such as in avionics and data line protection.
