Pulse power and clamping — the protection envelope
The 1N6167A: Rated at 1500 W (1.5 kW) peak pulse power per the 10/1000 µs waveform, this Zener absorbs substantial surge energy before the clamping voltage rises.
Temperature range and package — where it fits
The package is a through-hole axial leaded format. This form factor is straightforward to hand-assemble or wave-solder, and the leads can be formed for through-hole PCB or point-to-point wiring.
