Product details

Bidirectional 1500W transient suppressor in a DO-13 can

It protects a single bidirectional line — the 33V reverse standoff voltage sets the DC operating ceiling, so it fits 28V rails or 24V AC lines where transients can swing both polarities.

With a breakdown voltage minimum of 37.1V and a clamping maximum of 53.9V at 28A peak pulse current, the 1N6053A keeps the protected node below 54V during a surge. The 28A rating is for the standard 10/1000µs pulse — shorter transients allow higher current before the device reaches its thermal limit. No power line protection — this part is for signal or low-power DC/AC lines, not mains.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1N6053A bidirectional or unidirectional?

The 1N6053A has one bidirectional channel — it clamps both positive and negative transients on the same line. This is set by the Zener structure; no external polarity orientation is needed.

What is the peak pulse power of the 1N6053A?

The 1N6053A is rated for 1500W peak pulse power (1.5kW) under a 10/1000µs waveform. This is the maximum energy it can absorb in a single pulse without damage.

What package does the 1N6053A come in?

It is supplied in a DO-13 through-hole package (Bulk). The supplier device package is also DO-13, so the marking and footprint match standard TVS layouts for that can.
