The 41.6 V clamp sets the maximum voltage the downstream circuitry sees during a surge; design the 24 V bus with this ceiling in mind for the input capacitor and regulator ratings. ## Mounting and thermal management for the SQ-MELF Surface-mount on SQ-MELF B footprint; the metalized end caps require a solder profile consistent with the package's mass and the board's copper pour for heat sinking during surge events. No power line protection feature — this part is designed for signal or low-power rail clamping, not for AC mains or high-energy transients.","metaTitle":"1N6117AUS Zener TVS – 500W, Bidirectional, SQ-MELF, Active","metaDescription":"1N6117AUS Zener TVS diode from Microchip: 500W peak pulse, 22.8V standoff, bidirectional, SQ-MELF package.
