60 V rail protection — 500 W peak pulse in DO-214AC
Its 500 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs waveform) and 96.8 V maximum clamp voltage at 5.2 A give the designer a defined voltage ceiling for downstream silicon — the clamp voltage is the hard stop the protected IC sees. The DO-214AC (SMA) package suits automated surface-mount assembly and is a common footprint across TVS families.
Standoff, breakdown, clamp — the three voltages that matter
Breakdown minimum is 66.7 V, the threshold where the device starts to avalanche. The 30 V gap between standoff and clamp is the energy absorption zone; a rail that sits at 60 V nominal has 6.7 V of headroom before the diode turns on, which is tight but workable with a regulated supply.
The DO-214AC (SMA) package is a standard surface-mount outline; the cathode band identifies the unidirectional orientation.
