1500W bidirectional transient suppressor in a surface-mount MELF
The 91.2V reverse standoff voltage means it sits across a 90V DC rail without conducting leakage; the 114V minimum breakdown is the trigger point where clamping begins. At the full 9.1A peak pulse current the clamp voltage reaches 165.1V — the number to compare against your downstream component's absolute maximum rating.
Junction temperature range and package constraints
The SQ-MELF C package is a surface-mount cylindrical body; the metalized ends are the anode and cathode. Reflow profile needs a longer soak zone than a standard SOT-23 to avoid tombstoning — the cylindrical shape rocks if paste volume is uneven.
Microchip lists the 1N6168AUS as Active. The base product number 1N6168 covers the family; the AUS suffix denotes the bidirectional SQ-MELF variant.
