Product details

1500W peak pulse — the clamping spec that protects your rail

The 1N6269A-E3/73: The 1N6269A-/73 is a unidirectional Zener-based TVS diode in Vishay's TransZorb® series, housed in a DO-201AA axial through-hole package.

Standoff, breakdown, and clamping — the protection window

The reverse standoff voltage is 7.02V typ — the rail can sit at this level indefinitely without the device conducting. Breakdown triggers at 7.79V minimum, and from there the device avalanches into its clamping region. That 124A capability means it survives high-energy transients — a 10/1000µs surge at the listed current stays within the 12.1V ceiling the protected load can withstand.

DO-201AA through-hole for board-level protection

The axial DO-201AA body mounts through-hole on a PCB and suits general-purpose protection in industrial and commercial equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What does the TransZorb® series designation mean?

TransZorb® is Vishay's trademarked series of Zener-based transient voltage suppressors — they operate as Zener diodes in normal bias and avalanche to clamp transients above the breakdown voltage. The 1N6269A-/73 is a unidirectional single-channel device in this series.

What package is the 1N6269A-/73, and what does the supplier device package designation mean?

The mechanical package is DO-201AA (also referred to as DO-27), an axial through-hole body.
