The 1N6040A: It clamps transients to 15.6 V max at 96 A peak pulse current.
Housed in a DO-13 through-hole package, the 1N6040A mounts into a standard hole pattern. No power line protection feature is built in; this is a standalone transient suppressor, not a power-rail clamp with foldback.
The base product number is 1N6040. Sourced to order against BOM quantities.
Yes, it has one bidirectional channel, meaning it clamps transients of either polarity. The breakdown voltage is 10.5V min, clamping at 15.6V max with a 96A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs).
It is supplied in a DO-13 through-hole package. The bulk format means parts are shipped loose in a tube or bag, not taped and reeled.
