Product details
Overview
1N6275ARL4 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W Mosorb transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against high-energy transients. It features a 12.8 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 15 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, and clamps to ≤21.2 V at 71 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for power supply input stage surge protection in industrial power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6275ARL4 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC's absolute maximum rating, VRWM compatibility with DC bus voltage, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuits, and axial leaded Surmetic package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR (14.3–15.8 V). Its low dynamic impedance and sub-1 ns response time enable rapid suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges without significant overshoot-provided PCB layout minimizes trace inductance.
Rated for 1500 W nonrepetitive peak pulse power (1 ms waveform), it delivers 71 A IPP while maintaining VC ≤21.2 V. Thermal design must account for 20 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance and derating above 75 °C ambient, with steady-state dissipation limited to 5.0 W at TL ≤75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W @ 1 ms - sustains single high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without failure |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 12.8 V - maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks before clamping |
| Breakdown Voltage | 15 V (min 14.3 V, max 15.8 V @ 1 mA) - precise threshold for avalanche conduction onset |
| Clamping Voltage | ≤21.2 V @ 71 A IPP - maximum voltage imposed on protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| Leakage Current | <5 µA @ 12.8 V - negligible standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits |
| Response Time | <1 ns - ensures clamping activation before transient energy damages downstream CMOS/MOS components |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - meets stringent electrostatic discharge immunity requirements for end-equipment certification |
Pinout & Package
1N6275ARL4 uses an axial-leaded Surmetic plastic package (Case 41A), with cathode identified by a polarity band. Leads are Pb-free, solderable up to 230 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16 inch from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; defines clamping reference point |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing node | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognition | Qualified for isolated loop circuit protection-enables use in telecom/data line interfaces without additional safety certification effort |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.41 - tight voltage margin preserves headroom for protected ICs with 24 V absolute maximum ratings |
| High Surge Robustness | Withstands 200 A forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports fault-current limiting in AC/DC front-end designs |
| Pb-Free Lead Finish | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - eliminates lead contamination risk in automated assembly and end-of-life recycling |
| Void-Free Mold Compound | Ensures consistent thermal transfer and mechanical reliability under thermal cycling in industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Telecom Line Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed across input rails to clamp surges before they reach upstream rectifier and downstream DC/DC controller.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ15A | Surface-mount SMB package; 1500 W rating; VRWM = 12.8 V; VC = 24.4 V @ 61.5 A | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 24 V systems | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is prioritized over axial through-hole serviceability |
| 1.5KE15A | Same die in alternate packaging (DO-201AD); identical electrical specs; tape-and-reel shipping differs (1.5KE15A = 1500/reel, same as 1N6275ARL4) | No functional or layout change required; identical surge performance and thermal profile | Preferred for new designs where ON Semiconductor's preferred device status and DO-201AD footprint standardization are advantageous |
Compared with SMBJ15A, 1N6275ARL4 offers lower clamping voltage (21.2 V vs. 24.4 V) and proven axial-lead thermal robustness in high-temperature enclosures; compared with 1.5KE15A, it shares identical core specs but differs in JEDEC marking and legacy part numbering-both are electrically interchangeable in existing designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1N6275ARL4 under surge conditions?
The 1N6275ARL4 clamps to a maximum of 21.2 V when subjected to its rated 71 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured using the standardized 1 ms exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during worst-case transient events, enabling reliable interface with 24 V-rated components.
Does the 1N6275ARL4 meet UL safety standards for industrial applications?
Yes, the 1N6275ARL4 carries UL 497B recognition (File #116110, QVGV2 category) for isolated loop circuit protection. This certification confirms successful completion of strike voltage breakdown, endurance conditioning, dielectric withstand, and discharge testing-making it suitable for safety-critical industrial and telecom applications without requiring additional system-level validation.
How does the axial leaded package of the 1N6275ARL4 affect thermal performance?
The 1N6275ARL4's Case 41A axial package provides a 20 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsinks via lead soldering. Its 3/8 inch lead length specification allows controlled thermal derating: steady-state power drops linearly above 75 °C lead temperature, supporting reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Can the 1N6275ARL4 be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 1N6275ARL4 is a unidirectional TVS diode and only protects against reverse-polarity transients on the cathode side. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB), use the complementary 1.5KE15CA or SMBJ15CA-these feature symmetrical clamping in both directions and are tested per the same electrical parameters except forward voltage.
What is the leakage current specification for the 1N6275ARL4 at its working voltage?
The 1N6275ARL4 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA when biased at its 12.8 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss and no measurable loading effect on high-impedance sensor bias networks or precision reference circuits.
