TVS diode for 20V rail protection
The part is rated for a peak pulse power of 1500W (1.5kW) under the 10/1000µs waveform, making it suitable for general-purpose surge protection in power supplies, industrial controls, and telecom equipment.
Clamping and current handling
This clamp voltage is the key parameter for the downstream circuit — it defines the maximum voltage the protected device sees during a surge event. The 1500W rating is the product of clamp voltage and peak current, and it determines the energy the diode can absorb in a single transient without failing. The operating temperature range spans -65°C to 150°C (junction), which covers automotive underhood, outdoor telecom cabinets, and industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures can exceed 85°C. The DO-214AB package footprint is standard for SMC-size TVS diodes, and the part is surface-mount only.
