1500W bidirectional Zener TVS in DO-13
The 1N6064A: It is housed in a DO-13 through-hole package, suited for general-purpose circuit protection where a single bidirectional device replaces two unidirectional diodes in series.
Clamping voltage and pulse current
The 152V clamping voltage at 9.9A peak pulse current is the key spec for ensuring the protected circuit's voltage rating is never exceeded during a transient event — budget at least 20% margin above the clamping voltage for the downstream components. The 1500W rating at 10/1000µs is the industry-standard pulse condition; derate for shorter or longer pulses per the datasheet curve.
Through-hole DO-13 package: the leads are tin-plated copper; the body is hermetically sealed glass-passivated, which gives it an edge over plastic SMD parts in high-humidity or condensing environments.
