1.5 kW peak pulse power — axial bidirectional TVS
It clamps a 22.8 V reverse standoff to 41.6 V max at 36 A peak pulse current, with a single bidirectional channel that protects both polarities from the same device.
Breakdown and clamping — 28.5 V min breakdown, 41.6 V clamp ceiling
Minimum breakdown voltage is 28.5 V, and the maximum clamping voltage at 36 A peak pulse current is 41.6 V. The 22.8 V reverse standoff gives a 5.7 V margin above the nominal rail for a 24 V bus, which is typical for industrial sensor supplies or PLC backplanes.
Active production — no end-of-life concern
Microchip Technology lists the 1N6153A as Active. For a defense or industrial BOM that needs a long-horizon TVS, this part avoids the obsolescence churn that hits many older axial devices.
Through-hole axial — B, Axial package
The 1N6153A comes in a B, Axial package with through-hole mounting. The axial lead form factor is standard for high-reliability point-to-point wiring or PCB layouts where the TVS sits close to the transient entry point, like a terminal block or connector.
