Product details

Active production — what that means for sourcing

The 1N6108US: Because it is active, lead times are generally predictable and quoted per order quantity — no last-time-buy or end-of-life clock to manage.

500W peak pulse power — transient protection in a small footprint

The 9.1V reverse standoff voltage means it sits across a 9V rail and stays transparent until a transient pushes the line above 10.83V breakdown; clamping at 17.75V limits the spike to a safe level. With a single bidirectional channel, it protects AC-coupled or bipolar signal lines where polarity reversal is possible — one device covers both directions.

SQ-MELF package — board fit and thermal path

Housed in a surface-mount SQ-MELF (B case), the 1N6108US offers a small footprint with good solder-joint reliability for automated assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1N6108US a bidirectional or unidirectional TVS?

It is a single bidirectional channel device, meaning it clamps transients of either polarity — ideal for AC signal lines or circuits where the protected rail can swing above or below ground.

What is the peak pulse power rating of the 1N6108US?

It is rated for 500W peak pulse power measured with a 10/1000 µs waveform, which covers most industrial transient profiles.

Can the 1N6108US replace the 1N6108A in a design?

Electrically yes — the breakdown, standoff, clamp, and power ratings are the same. The difference is package: the 1N6108US is surface-mount SQ-MELF, while the 1N6108A is through-hole. Verify the board footprint before substituting.
