That 1.5 kW rating is the headline surge capacity — it tells you this part can absorb a significant energy pulse without failing short, which is the first question a protection engineer asks when sizing a clamp for a 58 V rail. Bidirectional single-channel device, so it clamps both polarities of a transient with one component. No power line protection — this is a signal or low-power rail clamp, not a mains-side MOV replacement. ## Clamping window and pulse current Reverse standoff voltage is 58 V typ; breakdown minimum is 64.6 V. The clamping voltage at the rated peak pulse current of 16.3 A is 92 V max. The 16.3 A peak pulse current is specified for the 10/1000 µs waveform, the standard telecom surge shape. ## Active production and package reality That means this is a franchised-distribution line, not a scavenger hunt across independent brokers. The DO-13 (DO-13) through-hole package is a metal can with two leads; it is not a surface-mount part, so plan for a through-hole assembly step or a hand-solder rework station. The 175°C ceiling is unusual for a TVS — most plastic-packaged parts stop at 150°C. That extra thermal headroom matters if the clamp sits near a hot power stage or inside a sealed enclosure with no airflow.","metaTitle":"1N6059A Zener TVS Diode – 1.5 kW, 58 V Standoff, DO-13","metaDescription":"1N6059A Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology. 1500 W peak pulse power, 58 V reverse standoff, 92 V clamping at 16.3 A.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Type":"Zener","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-13","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)":"64.6V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"92V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"58V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"16.3A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$12.6750","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/8e9aa18e7137d2d8b32c3a99aef403c3.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1N6059A?","answer":"Within the same Microchip 1N6xxxA series, the 1N6058A (standoff 54 V, clamp 86 V) and 1N6060A (standoff 62 V, clamp 99 V) share the same DO-13 package and 1.5 kW rating. They are drop-in replacements if the voltage window shifts. No direct cross to a plastic SMC/SMD package exists without a PCB layout change."},{"question":"Can 1N6059A be used for surge protection on a 48 V telecom rail?","answer":"Yes, the 58 V reverse standoff is above the nominal 48 V bus, so the part does not conduct during normal operation. The 64.6 V minimum breakdown gives margin for the 48 V rail's regulation tolerance. The 92 V clamp at 16.3 A (10/1000 µs) is within typical telecom surge requirements for secondary protection."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/1N6059A","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/1N6059A when reusing this data.
