Product details

Rated for 1.5kW peak pulse power, this part is a common choice for protecting power supplies, telecom equipment, and industrial control inputs against lightning-induced surges or inductive load switching transients. The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a standard surface-mount footprint, reworkable with hot air and compatible with lead-free reflow profiles.

Key ratings that define the protection window

The 48V reverse standoff voltage is the maximum DC or AC peak voltage the TVS can withstand without conducting — match this to your rail voltage. The minimum breakdown voltage is the threshold where the device starts to avalanche; below this the circuit sees no leakage. Operating junction temperature spans -65°C to 150°C, covering military and automotive under-hood environments without derating at the cold end. Power line protection is not supported — this is a unidirectional device for DC rails only, not for AC mains.

This removes the obsolescence risk for new designs and allows repeat orders without last-time-buy pressure.
