Product details

Bidirectional TVS in a SQ-MELF package

It provides a single bidirectional channel, clamping at 25.1 V maximum with a 59.8 A peak pulse current capacity. The reverse standoff voltage is 13.7 V, with a minimum breakdown of 17.1 V.

Voltage ratings and clamping margin

The 13.7V standoff and 17.1V breakdown give a 3.4V window — tight enough to avoid nuisance triggering on a 12V bus with 5% regulation, but wide enough to accommodate transient overvoltage before the clamping event. Maximum clamping at 25.1 V at 59.8 A peak pulse current defines the voltage the protected circuit must survive.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1N6148AUS a bidirectional TVS diode?

Yes, it has one bidirectional channel, meaning it clamps both positive and negative transients symmetrically — suitable for AC-coupled or bipolar DC lines where polarity reversal is possible.

What package does the 1N6148AUS come in?

It is supplied in a surface-mount SQ-MELF, C package. The MELF barrel shape requires careful solder paste volume control to avoid tombstoning during reflow.
