Product details

Transient suppressor for harsh environments

Voltage and power ratings that matter

Peak pulse power is 500W for a 10/1000µs waveform, with a corresponding peak pulse current of 35A for an 8/20µs waveform. The 500W rating is the headline derating anchor — at elevated ambient temperatures the power capability drops per the datasheet derating curve.

Active production and package availability

Supplied in an Axial leaded package (B, Axial case style), through-hole mount. The package is Bulk, suitable for hand-assembly or wave-solder processes. The base product number is 1N6468.
