The 6.5 V margin between standoff and clamping is typical for this series; it means the protected device sees a 16.7 V spike rather than the raw transient, giving the IC time to survive the event. At 89.8 A peak pulse, the device handles the 10/1000 µs surge common in industrial and telecom power environments — the 1.5 kW rating is defined on that waveform. Faster transients (8/20 µs) deliver the same energy at lower current, so the datasheet curves are the right reference for the specific threat profile on your board. ## Thermal and packaging reality Available in tape-and-reel and cut-tape; the axial package is easy to handle in rework without specialized tooling — a hot-plate or controlled soldering iron is sufficient to replace a suspect unit on a populated board. ## Sourcing posture and lifecycle Availability and current lead times are confirmed at RFQ — standard distribution lane, no allocation constraints flagged at this time.","metaTitle":"Vishay 1N6273A-E3/54 TVS Diode, 1.5kW, 10.2V","metaDescription":"Vishay 1N6273A-E3/54 unidirectional TVS Zener, 10.2V standoff, 16.7V clamping at 89.8A peak pulse, 1.5kW peak power, DO-201AA axial.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division","Type":"Zener","Series":"TransZorb®","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"DO-201AA, DO-27, Axial","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"1N6273","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~175°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"1.5KE","Unidirectional Channels":"1","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"11.4V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"16.7V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"10.2V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"89.8A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.3246","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/cbd949ebcf4c95d5b4ea8fdecf87536f.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/1N6273A-E3%2F54/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I source the 1N6273A-/54 and get a quote?","answer":"The 1N6273A-/54 is available to order through independent distribution and quoted against the BOM quantity — availability and current lead times are confirmed at RFQ.
