The reverse standoff voltage of 6.9 V means this part sits on a 5 V or 6 V supply bus and stays off until a surge pushes the line above its breakdown threshold of 8.65 V. The clamping voltage of 13.4 V is the ceiling the protected circuit sees — keep that below the downstream IC's absolute maximum rating. ## Temperature range and junction limits The junction temperature range spans -55°C to 175°C — that is a full military-grade envelope. A part that lives at 175°C junction can handle under-hood automotive, engine-bay electronics, or outdoor telecom cabinets where ambient heat plus self-heating pushes the die well past 125°C. The axial leaded package conducts heat into the PCB copper or a heatsink clip better than a small SMD package would. ## Through-hole axial package — hand-solder friendly The package is a through-hole axial leaded device — the leads come out both ends of the body, so it sits flat on the board or stands off with a formed lead. Hand-solderable without a hot-air station; the body is large enough to read the marking without magnification.","metaTitle":"1N6141A Zener TVS Diode – 1500W, 6.9V Standoff, Axial","metaDescription":"1N6141A Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology: 1500W peak pulse power, 6.9V reverse standoff, 111.9A peak current, -55°C to 175°C.","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":"B, Axial","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"1N6141","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~175°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"Axial","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"8.65V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"13.4V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"6.9V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"111.9A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$32.2200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://www.microsemi.com/document-portal/doc_download/127853-1n6138-1n6173a-tvs-diode-series-datasheet","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between 1N6141A and 1N6141?","answer":"The 'A' suffix on 1N6141A typically indicates a tighter breakdown voltage tolerance compared to the base 1N6141 part.
