500 W peak pulse, 33 V standoff — what it protects
The 33 V reverse standoff voltage means it clamps transients on a 33 V nominal rail, with breakdown guaranteed at 36.7 V min and clamping at 59 V max at 8.5 A peak pulse current. Single bidirectional channel — one device handles both positive and negative transients, which simplifies layout on AC or bipolar DC lines.
Active production, DO-214AC package
The DO-214AC (SMA) package is a common footprint, reflow-solderable, and widely stocked in the distribution channel.
That covers military-grade cold and hot environments — avionics, outdoor telecom, engine bay — without derating concerns. Surface-mount DO-214AC (SMA) — the two-pad footprint is easy to hand-solder or reflow. Polarity is marked on the body; for a bidirectional part the marking is symmetric, so orientation is not critical.
