Transient suppressor for a 152V rail
The 1N6173AUS/TR is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500W (1.5kW) peak pulse power per the 10/1000µs waveform. It protects a 152V nominal rail — the reverse standoff voltage — with a breakdown voltage of 190V minimum and a clamping voltage of 273V at 5.5A peak pulse current.
Active production — no obsolescence watch needed
The SQ-MELF package (C variant) is the surface-mount footprint for this series.
