Product details
Overview
BZW06-376RL from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a 376 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 603 V maximum clamping voltage (VCL) at 1 A IPP, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature-deployed in industrial power supplies and telecom line cards requiring robust IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-376RL datasheet, BZW06-376RL pinout, BZW06-376RL application, or BZW06-376RL equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at rated surge current, leakage current below 0.2 µA at VRM, thermal stability at Tj = 175 °C, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and bidirectional variant availability (BZW06-376BRL) for AC-coupled paths.
Technical Context
This planar-junction TVS diode uses silicon avalanche technology to clamp transient overvoltages via controlled reverse breakdown. Its low dynamic resistance (RD = 55.1 Ω at 8/20 µs) ensures rapid voltage limiting during fast transients like ESD (±30 kV air/contact) and EFT (4 kV level 4).
Designed for high-reliability operation in SMPS and telecom infrastructure, it maintains stable VBR (418–462 V) and VCL across -55 °C to +175 °C, with leakage current ≤0.2 µA at VRM and junction capacitance <1 pF at VR = 376 V-enabling minimal signal distortion in high-speed or high-voltage analog sensing paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 376 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 418 V min / 440 V typ / 462 V max at 1 mA - Ensures precise turn-on threshold with ±5% tolerance |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 603 V at 1 A (10/1000 µs) - Limits surge-induced voltage seen by downstream circuitry |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 600 W (10/1000 µs), 4 kW (8/20 µs) - Supports both slow and fast surge events per IEC standards |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - Enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial, and outdoor equipment |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | ≤0.2 µA at VRM - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 55.1 Ω at 8/20 µs - Determines voltage overshoot during high-di/dt surges; lower RD improves clamping fidelity |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 (JEDEC DO-204AC) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to protected line side; conducts during positive surges when used in unidirectional configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit terminal in forward bias; avalanche node in reverse | Connected to ground or return path; initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous use at Tj = 175 °C-reduces derating needs in thermally constrained enclosures |
| Low leakage current | IRM ≤ 0.2 µA at VRM-preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor inputs and precision references |
| IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance | Withstands ±30 kV ESD (air/contact) and 4 kV EFT-meets industrial and telecom immunity requirements out-of-box |
| Planar junction construction | Enables tight parameter distribution and stable VBR over lifetime-critical for long-life power supply designs |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Telecom Line Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: DC input stage of DIN-rail mounted 48 V power converter exposed to lightning-induced surges on building wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed between +48 V rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach primary-side controller ICs. Use Value: Clamps 600 W surges (10/1000 µs) to ≤603 V, protecting downstream MOSFETs and PWM controllers without sacrificing efficiency due to sub-µA leakage. | Use Scenario: Protection of RS-485 transceiver inputs in outdoor base station backhaul links subject to induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on differential pair lines, referenced to local ground, absorbing common-mode transients before receiver front-end. Use Value: Sub-1 pF junction capacitance at 376 V ensures negligible signal rise-time degradation on 10 Mbps RS-485 buses while meeting IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Smart Grid Metering Interface |
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-supplied BCM module subjected to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses in engine bay environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDOs. Use Value: Stable VBR (418–462 V) and 175 °C rating allow reliable operation near hot engine components without thermal runaway or parameter drift. | Use Scenario: AC mains input protection in revenue-grade smart meters installed in utility substations with high lightning exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary surge suppressor after MOV-based primary protection, handling residual fast transients on rectified DC bus. Use Value: 600 W (10/1000 µs) capability complements MOV energy absorption, while low RD (55.1 Ω) prevents voltage overshoot beyond MCU reset thresholds during surge decay. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ376A | Same VRM (376 V), but SMB package (surface-mount); lower PPP (600 W same, but derates faster above 25 °C) | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; unsuitable for through-hole legacy designs or high-vibration environments | Select if board space is constrained and thermal management via copper pour is feasible |
| P6KE376A | Same DO-15 package and VRM, but older 600 W series; higher VCL (640 V) and RD (62 Ω) than BZW06-376RL | Less effective clamping margin for sensitive 3.3 V logic rails downstream; higher thermal impedance | Acceptable only where cost is critical and clamping voltage margin >40 V is available |
Compared with SMBJ376A and P6KE376A, BZW06-376RL delivers superior thermal stability (175 °C vs. 150 °C), tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%), and lower dynamic resistance-making it preferred for high-reliability, high-temperature, or precision-clamping applications where DO-15 mounting is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZW06-376RL at 1 A surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 603 V under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions at 25 °C ambient. This value increases linearly with junction temperature at αT = 11 × 10⁻⁴/°C, reaching ~639 V at Tj = 125 °C per the datasheet's VCL vs. Tj formula.
Is BZW06-376RL suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No-BZW06-376RL is unidirectional. For bidirectional AC or differential signal protection, use the pin-compatible BZW06-376BRL variant, which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and identical VRM/VBR specifications.
How does the DO-15 package affect thermal performance in high-power surge events?
At 175 °C junction temperature, the DO-15 package supports up to 300 W (10/1000 µs) peak power-50% of its 25 °C rating-due to thermal impedance limitations. Effective PCB copper area (>3 cm² per lead) reduces Rth(j-a) to ~4.5 °C/W, enabling sustained operation within safe limits.
Does BZW06-376RL meet RoHS and REACH environmental compliance?
Yes-BZW06-376RL is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-compliant facilities, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with matte tin lead finish and halogen-free epoxy molding compound per DS0661 Rev 7.
