Active production – 1N6162US Zener TVS diode
It clamps at 97.1V maximum with a 51.7V reverse standoff, making it a direct fit for protecting 48V nominal rails or similar DC buses against transients up to 15.4A peak pulse current.
SQ-MELF package and temperature range
Housed in a C, SQ-MELF surface-mount package, the 1N6162US suits automated assembly but requires a reflow profile compatible with MELF body geometry — the cylindrical shape can roll during placement if the nozzle and pad design aren't matched.
Protection thresholds for 48V rail applications
With a minimum breakdown voltage of 64.6V and a maximum clamp of 97.1V at 15.4A, this part leaves margin above a 48V nominal rail while keeping the clamp below the absolute maximum of typical downstream DC-DC converters and transceivers rated at 100V. The 1500W peak pulse rating handles common surge profiles in telecom and industrial power interfaces without requiring a larger footprint part.
