Product details
Overview
1N6287ARL4 from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional 1500 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against ESD, lightning surges, and inductive switching transients. It features a 40.2 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, and clamps to 64.8 V at 23.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), making it suitable for DC power rail protection in industrial power supplies and communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6287ARL4 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, surge current capability under 1 ms 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, UL 497B recognition for isolated loop circuits, and axial lead (Case 41A) mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping Zener-based TVS, entering avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR (44.7–49.4 V). Its low dynamic impedance and sub-1 ns response time enable fast suppression of transient energy before downstream components experience overvoltage stress.
Designed for single-polarity (cathode-banded) operation, it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power per 1 ms waveform per Figure 5, with thermal derating above 75°C lead temperature and steady-state dissipation limited to 5.0 W at TL ≤ 75°C. It meets Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) and UL 497B certification for telecom and process control isolation barriers.
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 operating voltage margin for protected circuitry. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 47 V @ 1 mA - Voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; defines threshold for transient activation with ±5% tolerance (44.7–49.4 V). |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 64.8 V @ 23.2 A IPP - Maximum voltage seen by protected load during full-rated 1500 W transient; determines safe overvoltage headroom. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPK) | 1500 W @ 1 ms - Energy-handling capacity per non-repetitive surge; validated per JEDEC standard waveform (Figure 5). |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <5 µA @ 40.2 V - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Enables suppression before most CMOS/MOS ICs experience gate oxide damage from fast-rising transients. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - Confirmed robustness against human-body model electrostatic discharge events. |
Pinout & Package
1N6287ARL4 uses an axial-leaded Surmetic plastic package (Case 41A), with cathode identified by a colored band. Leads are tin-lead (Pb-free finish), solderable at 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case body. Mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms clamping node with cathode. |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing & clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when VRWM exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL 497B Recognition | Validated for isolated loop circuit protection in telecom and industrial control systems - eliminates need for separate safety certification testing. |
| Low Clamping Ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.38 - Tight voltage margin between activation and clamping ensures minimal overvoltage exposure to downstream ICs. |
| Pb-Free Lead Finish | Compliant with RoHS and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles - supports lead-free manufacturing without solderability compromise. |
| High Surge Robustness | 200 A forward surge rating (IFSM) - withstands repetitive inrush or fault currents without degradation. |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 20 °C/W - Enables effective heat transfer from junction to lead, supporting sustained 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C. |
