Product details
Overview
1N6287A from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W Mosorb transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against ESD and surge events. It features a 40.2 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 23.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - deployed in power supply input stages, telecom line interfaces, and industrial control I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6287A 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 certification for isolated loop circuits, and axial leaded Surmetic package thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
The 1N6287A operates as a silicon avalanche diode in reverse-biased mode, entering conduction when transient voltage exceeds its specified VBR (44.7–49.4 V). Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable clamping during 1 ms 1500 W pulses, while its <1 ns intrinsic response time minimizes voltage overshoot before clamping engages.
Designed for unidirectional protection only, it exhibits forward voltage ≤3.5 V at 100 A and reverse leakage <5 µA above 10 V. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 20 °C/W, enabling 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL ≤75°C with 3/8″ lead length - critical for sustained surge duty cycles in industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 40.2 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without clamping; sets minimum system operating voltage margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 47 V @ 1 mA - Voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; defines turn-on threshold for transient suppression. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 64.8 V @ 23.2 A IPP - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 1 ms 1500 W surge; determines safe headroom for downstream ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPK) | 1500 W @ 1 ms - Single-event surge energy handling capacity per JEDEC test waveform; validates robustness against lightning-induced transients. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Intrinsic diode switching speed; ensures clamping activation before transient peaks damage CMOS/MOS/Bipolar ICs. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - Confirms immunity to human-body-model electrostatic discharge, supporting safe handling in assembly lines. |
| UL Recognition | UL 497B (QVGV2) - Certified for use in isolated loop circuit protection, including telecom and process control safety-critical paths. |
Pinout & Package
1N6287A uses the axial-leaded CASE 41A Surmetic plastic package (JEDEC TO-204AA), with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Leads are Pb-free, solderable up to 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient return path / ground reference | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., DC input, signal line); voltage referenced to anode during clamping. |

| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 24–48 V DC rails without derating. |
| UL 497B recognition | Validates compliance for use in certified isolated loop protectors - required for industrial process controllers and medical equipment interfaces. |
| Low zener impedance | Maintains tight clamping voltage across 10–100 A surge range, reducing voltage overshoot on fast-rising transients (e.g., relay coil flyback). |
| Pb-free external lead finish | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity requirements for automated assembly. |
| −65 °C to +175 °C operating range | Supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs, outdoor telecom cabinets, and high-temp industrial motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ43A | Lower peak power (600 W), SMC package (surface-mount), 43 V VRWM, 69.4 V VC @ 8.6 A | Targeted for PCB space-constrained designs; lacks UL 497B certification and axial lead thermal mass for high-duty-cycle surges | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3; verify thermal relief for repeated events. |
| 1.5KE47A | Same electrical specs and CASE 41A package; identical VRWM/VBR/VC/IPP values; manufactured by ON Semiconductor as dual-marking variant | No functional difference; used interchangeably in BOMs where legacy 1.5KE part numbering is preferred | Drop-in replacement with identical performance and qualification - suitable for dual-sourcing or obsolescence mitigation. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1N6287A at its rated peak pulse current?
The 1N6287A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 23.2 A, measured using the standard 1 ms exponential decay waveform per Figure 5 in the datasheet. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events and must be verified against the absolute maximum ratings of downstream components to ensure safe operation.
Is the 1N6287A suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the 1N6287A is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional surge suppression. It conducts only in reverse bias above VBR and blocks forward voltage up to 3.5 V. For bidirectional protection, ON Semiconductor offers the 1.5KE47CA series - a distinct part with symmetrical clamping in both polarities and different electrical test conditions.
Does the 1N6287A meet UL 497B requirements for isolated loop protection?
Yes, the 1N6287A is UL recognized under file QVGV2 to UL 497B 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 use in safety-critical industrial and medical isolation barriers where regulatory compliance is mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance and steady-state power rating of the 1N6287A?
The 1N6287A has a thermal resistance of 20 °C/W from junction to lead and a steady-state power dissipation rating of 5.0 W at TL ≤75°C with 3/8″ lead length. Derating is linear above 75°C at 20 mW/°C, allowing reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to +175°C when mounted with adequate heatsinking or short leads.
How does the 1N6287A compare to the 1.5KE47A in terms of specifications and packaging?
The 1N6287A and 1.5KE47A are electrically identical - sharing the same VRWM (40.2 V), VBR (47 V), VC (64.8 V), IPP (23.2 A), and CASE 41A axial package. They differ only in JEDEC vs. ON Semiconductor part numbering conventions; both are manufactured by onsemi and qualify as drop-in replacements with identical reliability and test data.
