Product details

The 1N6267A-E3/51: The 1500 W peak pulse rating (10/1000 µs waveform) is the defining spec for a transient voltage suppressor — this is the energy the device can absorb during a single overvoltage event without failing. At that peak pulse, the clamping voltage tops out at 10.5 V while the reverse standoff sits at 5.8 V typical, giving roughly 1.8× protection margin between normal operation and the clamp ceiling.

Temperature range and general-purpose deployment

Junction temperature range runs from -55 °C to 175 °C — the wide high end makes this suitable for equipment that sees significant self-heating, and the low end covers outdoor or cold-start conditions. As a general-purpose unidirectional TVS, it fits anywhere a circuit needs protection against inductive kickback, lightning transients, or switching surges on a power rail up to roughly 5.8 V standoff.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest equivalent to the 1N6267A-/51?

The TransZorb base product number 1N6267 is the reference for cross-checking alternatives in the same 1.5 kW TVS family. No pin-compatible successor is listed by the manufacturer — a BOM-level cross-reference requires checking the standoff voltage, clamping voltage, and peak pulse current against the target circuit's protection requirements.

What do the TVS ratings mean for circuit protection?

The 5.8 V reverse standoff is the maximum voltage the circuit sees in normal operation; the 10.5 V clamping ceiling is the voltage at the load during a fault event at 143 A peak pulse.
