Product details

1500W peak pulse power in a DO-13 package

That 1.5 kW pulse capability in the DO-13 through-hole package handles high-energy transients on 12 V rails where a standard 600 W SMD part would fail.

Breakdown and clamping limits for 12 V rail protection

Reverse standoff voltage is 12 V, so the diode stays off on a nominal 12 V supply. Breakdown occurs at a minimum of 14.3 V, and clamping is held to 21.2 V at the 71 A peak pulse current.

Wide temperature range and through-hole mounting

The DO-13 package is a through-hole axial-lead design — it solders into a standard pitch board and handles rework cycles without pad lift.
