Product details

Through-hole TVS for 10V rail clamping

The 1N6041A: It clamps transients to a maximum of 16.7V at 90A peak pulse current. The DO-13 through-hole package suits board-level layouts where a soldered lead provides mechanical retention and thermal mass for repetitive surge events.

Clamping voltage and pulse current

Breakdown voltage minimum is 11.4V, clamping at 16.7V max under the 10/1000µs pulse — this defines the protection ceiling for a 10V nominal rail. Peak pulse current is 90A, which combined with the 1500W rating gives a direct check against the surge energy in the application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 1N6041 and 1N6041A?

The base part number 1N6041 and the 1N6041A share the same electrical ratings — 1500W peak pulse, 10V standoff, 16.7V clamp. The 'A' suffix typically denotes a tighter tolerance on breakdown voltage, but the evidence does not carry a separate spec for the non-A variant. Confirm the exact breakdown tolerance required for your rail.

Can 1N6041A be used for 12V automotive protection?

The reverse standoff is 10V, clamping at 16.7V. For a nominal 12V rail, the standoff is below the operating voltage, so the diode may conduct during normal operation. A higher voltage rating is needed for 12V systems. The device is not listed as AEC-Q qualified.
