ON Semiconductor 1N6295A Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode

The ON Semiconductor 1N6295A is a robust transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and transients induced by lightning and other sudden voltage events. This component is a critical asset in safeguarding circuits by clamping high-energy transients to a safe level before they can damage sensitive ICs or other electronic components.

Key Features

• Peak Pulse Power: The 1N6295A offers a peak pulse power dissipation of 1500 Watts at 10/1000μs waveform, ensuring effective protection against high energy transients.
• Stand-off Voltage: It has a stand-off voltage rating of 13.6 Volts, which provides a margin of safety for applications where voltage spikes can occur.
• Breakdown Voltage: The breakdown voltage range is from 15.2 Volts to 16.8 Volts, allowing for precise operation under surge conditions.
• Clamping Voltage: With a maximum clamping voltage of 22.5 Volts, the 1N6295A ensures that the voltage seen by the protected components does not exceed a safe threshold.
• Low Leakage Current: The low leakage current of under 1 μA at stand-off voltage minimizes power loss when the device is in standby mode.
• Fast Response Time: Its fast response time is essential for quick clamping of transient voltages, thereby providing immediate protection.
