Above 34.2V (minimum breakdown), the diode starts clamping; the 49.9V maximum clamp at 30A peak pulse current is the voltage the protected circuitry must survive. The 1500W peak pulse power rating (10/1000µs) is the standard telecom surge waveform — a single 30A pulse lasting 1 ms. For shorter pulses (like ESD), the diode handles much higher peak current; for longer surges, derate per the datasheet's pulse-width curve. Bidirectional operation (single channel) means one device clamps both polarities — no need for series back-to-back arrangement on AC signal lines or bipolar supplies. ## What to check before substituting Substituting a unipolar part on a bipolar rail leaves one polarity unprotected. The DO-13 footprint is shared with other 1N60xx series devices, but verify the breakdown voltage and standoff match your rail. For a pin-compatible alternative within the same Microchip family, compare the 1N60xx series ratings — the package and pinout are identical across the range; the difference is the voltage selection.","metaTitle":"1N6052A/TR Zener TVS Diode – 1500W, 30V Standoff, DO-13","metaDescription":"1N6052A/TR bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip. 1500W peak pulse power, 30V reverse standoff, 34.2V breakdown, DO-13 through-hole.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Type":"Zener","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-13","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~175°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-13","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"34.2V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"49.9V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"30V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"30A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$24.6150","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/8e9aa18e7137d2d8b32c3a99aef403c3.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/1N6052A%2FTR/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the 1N6052A/TR bidirectional?","answer":"Yes, it has one bidirectional channel — it clamps transients of either polarity on a single line, suitable for AC or bipolar DC rails."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/1N6052A-TR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/1N6052A-TR when reusing this data.
