1500W bidirectional clamp in a DO-13 can
The 1N6049A: The bidirectional configuration (single channel) means it clamps equally on positive and negative transients, suiting AC signal lines or bipolar supply rails where polarity is not fixed. Breakdown voltage min is 25.7 V, reverse standoff is 22 V typical — the device begins conducting above 22 V DC and fully clamps before 37.5 V. The 1500 W rating is the energy it can absorb in a single pulse; for repetitive surges, derate based on pulse repetition rate and ambient temperature.
Through-hole DO-13 — mounting and temperature range
Housed in a DO-13 through-hole package (supplier device package DO-13), the 1N6049A is soldered into a plated through-hole on the PCB.
As an active Microchip part, the 1N6049A is available through our multi-source supply chain.
