Product details

1500 W bidirectional Zener — 8.65 V breakdown floor

Its minimum breakdown voltage of 8.65 V sets the clamp threshold for a 7.5 V reverse standoff rail — the part stays transparent below that DC level and only conducts when a transient pushes past the breakdown knee. The clamping voltage is held to 13.4 V maximum at the rated 112 A peak pulse current.

DO-13 through-hole — temperature range to 175°C

The through-hole body suits point-to-point wiring or socketed boards where rework access matters.

Both share identical electrical characteristics — the /TR variant is simply the reeled option for volume pick-and-place.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1N6038A/TR bidirectional?

Yes, it is a single bidirectional channel — it clamps both positive and negative transients in one device.

Can 1N6038A/TR replace a standard 1N6038A?

Electrically identical. The /TR suffix only indicates tape-and-reel packaging; the bare 1N6038A in bulk or tube has the same breakdown, clamping, and power ratings.
