1500 W peak pulse power, 30 V standoff — DO-13 bidirectional TVS
The 1N6052AE3 is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs — enough to clamp transients on 24 VDC rails or AC signal lines without folding back. Its 30 V reverse standoff voltage means the part stays transparent below that rail, then breaks down at 34.2 V minimum to shunt the surge. The single bidirectional channel protects both polarities, which saves a series diode pair on bipolar or floating grounds.
At the 30 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform), the clamping voltage maxes at 49.9 V. That ceiling sets the downstream component withstand — a 60 V-rated MOSFET or 50 V-rated capacitor has margin. The 175 °C maximum junction temperature suits high-ambient environments like outdoor telecom cabinets or under-hood electronics. No power line protection means it is intended for signal or low-power rail clamping, not mains AC.
Active production — DO-13 axial package, through-hole mounting
The DO-13 (DO-202AA) axial package is a through-hole footprint that suits point-to-point wiring or PCB layouts with lead bending.
