160V Bidirectional TVS in DO-214AB – 1.5kW Pulse Rating
Its 1.5kW peak pulse power rating gives it the energy-absorption margin for industrial surge events, while the single bidirectional channel protects both polarities on a single line — saving one diode per protected net compared to a back-to-back unipolar pair.
The minimum breakdown voltage is 178V, which means the device starts conducting at least 18V above the 160V standoff. That guard band prevents nuisance triggering during normal line ripple or load transients. For a 160V bus with a 300V-rated downstream component, the 287V clamp stays inside the margin.
Active Production – Sourcing and Package Form
The DO-214AB (SMC) package has a large copper pad on the cathode side for heat sinking during pulse events. Confirmed per RFQ; no stock-holding claim.
