Product details

Zener transient suppressor in SQ-MELF

The 1N6120AUS is a bidirectional Zener diode from Microchip Technology, designed for general-purpose circuit protection in a surface-mount SQ-MELF package (B case). It delivers 500W peak pulse power per the 10/1000 µs waveform, with a minimum breakdown voltage of 37.1V and a maximum clamping voltage of 53.6V at the rated peak pulse current of 9.3A.

Parametric profile for protection design

The reverse standoff voltage is 29.7V typical, meaning the device does not conduct appreciably below that level — useful for protecting 28V rails or similar DC buses. With a single bidirectional channel and no power line protection feature, this part is best suited for signal or low-power DC bus clamping rather than AC mains suppression. The SQ-MELF package (B case) is a hermetic ceramic barrel — hand-solderable with care, but reflow or hot-air rework is typical.

Active production and sourcing posture

The base product number is 1N6120. Sourced to order against BOM quantities — confirm the SQ-MELF footprint and the 29.7V standoff threshold match your protection target before committing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the peak pulse power rating of 1N6120AUS?

The 1N6120AUS is rated for 500W peak pulse power under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This defines its transient energy handling capability for a single pulse.

What package does 1N6120AUS come in?

It is supplied in a surface-mount SQ-MELF package, specifically the B case. The package is ceramic and hermetic, suitable for demanding environments.
