Product details
Overview
BZW06-376BRL from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It delivers 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps transients up to 603 V at 1 A, and operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its 376 V stand-off voltage and DO-15 package make it suitable for industrial power supply input stage protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-376BRL datasheet, BZW06-376BRL pinout, BZW06-376BRL application, or BZW06-376BRL equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at rated current, dynamic resistance under 8/20 µs surges, junction temperature derating behavior, and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance margin for harsh ESD/EFT environments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon technology optimized for low leakage (<0.2 µA at VRM) and stable VBR over temperature (αT = 11 × 10⁻⁴ /°C). Its bidirectional structure enables symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or floating bus lines without polarity constraints.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 (30 kV air/contact discharge) and IEC 61000-4-4 level 4 (4 kV), with clamping voltage defined at 1 A (548 V min) and 776 A (603 V max) for 8/20 µs pulses - critical for protecting downstream MOSFET gates and controller ICs in SMPS front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 376 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins; sets minimum system working voltage margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 418–462 V at 1 mA - defines onset of avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above normal line transients. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 603 V at 776 A (8/20 µs) - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; determines safe voltage headroom for downstream components. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 600 W (10/1000 µs), 4 kW (8/20 µs) - energy-handling capacity defining survivability against lightning-induced surges and load dump events. |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 55.1 Ω - slope of VCL vs. IPP curve; lower RD improves clamping consistency across varying surge amplitudes. |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment without thermal derating penalties. |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 (JEDEC DO-204AC) package: axial leaded, epoxy-molded, matte tin-plated leads. Dimensions: A = 6.05–6.75 mm length, B = 26–31 mm body length, C = 2.95–3.53 mm diameter, D = 0.71–0.88 mm lead diameter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side of protected node; bidirectional symmetry means either lead serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Current exit terminal in forward bias | Connected to higher-potential side; marking band identifies cathode end per JEDEC DO-15 standard; no functional distinction from anode in bidirectional operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 Compliance | 30 kV contact/air discharge immunity - eliminates need for external ESD filtering in industrial HMI and sensor interface designs. |
| High-Temperature Operation | 175 °C max junction temperature - supports placement near heat-generating components (e.g., PFC inductors, rectifier bridges) without derating. |
| Low Dynamic Resistance | 55.1 Ω - minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising 8/20 µs surges, improving protection margin for 600 V-rated MOSFETs. |
| Planar Junction Construction | Enables <0.2 µA leakage at VRM - reduces standby power loss in always-on systems such as smart meters and IoT gateways. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Telecom Line Interface Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ376CA | DO-214AA package; 600 W rating; VBR = 418–462 V; VCL = 603 V @ 776 A; same αT | Surface-mount footprint replaces axial DO-15; requires PCB re-layout but enables automated assembly | Select when board space is constrained and SMT process capability exists. |
| P6KE376A | DO-15 package; 600 W rating; VBR = 400–440 V; VCL = 611 V @ 750 A; higher RD (60 Ω) | Legacy design with wider VBR tolerance and less consistent clamping; UL 497B certified but no IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 validation | Select only for cost-sensitive legacy replacements where 8 V higher clamping is acceptable. |
Compared with SMBJ376CA and P6KE376A, BZW06-376BRL offers identical electrical performance in a through-hole DO-15 package with verified IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 compliance and lower dynamic resistance - making it optimal for new designs requiring robust manual assembly or high-reliability field serviceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for BZW06-376BRL under an 8/20 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage is 603 V at 776 A for an 8/20 µs waveform, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This value increases linearly with junction temperature at a coefficient of 11 × 10⁻⁴ /°C, reaching approximately 630 V at 175 °C junction temperature.
Is BZW06-376BRL suitable for bidirectional AC line protection?
Yes - its bidirectional construction allows symmetrical clamping across both polarities, making it appropriate for protecting AC-coupled signal lines or floating DC buses. However, it is not rated for continuous AC RMS voltage; it must be used with series impedance to limit steady-state current during fault conditions.
How does the DO-15 package affect thermal performance in high-power surge events?
The DO-15 package has a thermal resistance of ~4.5 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) with 1 cm² copper pad per lead. Under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges, this allows dissipation of up to 300 W at 175 °C junction temperature - sufficient for most industrial surge profiles when mounted on FR4 with adequate copper area.
Does BZW06-376BRL require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - peak pulse power must be derated above 25 °C ambient. At 100 °C ambient, the 600 W rating drops to ~420 W for 10/1000 µs pulses, based on Figure 3 in DS0661 Rev 7. Derating follows the published PPP vs. Tj curve and assumes proper PCB copper thermal relief design.
