Zener diode for 22V rail transient clamping
The 1N6362/TR is a Zener diode from Microchip Technology designed for general-purpose transient suppression on a 22V nominal rail. Its 1500W peak pulse power rating handles short-duration surges common in industrial and telecom power buses. The 25.9V minimum breakdown voltage and 32V maximum clamping voltage define the protection window: the diode starts conducting at ~26V and holds the load to 32V at the full 40A peak pulse current.
Through-hole DO-13 and temperature range
Housed in a DO-13 through-hole package, the 1N6362/TR mounts to a PCB with axial leads — a legacy footprint still common in high-reliability and retrofit designs where surface-mount isn't an option. The -65°C to 175°C junction temperature range suits avionics, downhole, and outdoor telecom cabinets where the ambient can swing beyond commercial limits. The Tape & Reel (TR) suffix indicates it ships on a reel for automated insertion, though the through-hole package limits pick-and-place to radial or axial feeders.
Active production — sourcing posture
No official successor or cross-reference has been published, so the BOM line is stable as long as the design stays with this order code. For a BOM quantity, we source and quote to order against the current Microchip price book. The DO-13 package and through-hole mounting are not high-volume commodity formats, so lead time may vary with factory loading — confirm at quote time.
