What this Zener diode protects and how
It comes in a DO-13 through-hole package and operates over -55°C to 175°C junction temperature.
Breakdown voltage and clamping — what the numbers mean for your circuit
The 114V breakdown minimum means the device starts conducting at that threshold, protecting downstream components. The 168V clamp at 8.9A is the maximum voltage the load sees during a surge — design your rail to survive that peak. With a reverse standoff voltage of 100V, the diode remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions up to that DC level, so it won't leak or load the line during steady-state.
Active production — sourcing posture
The DO-13 package is a through-hole, hermetic-style metal can — common in military and industrial designs where board-level reliability matters.
