Product details
Overview
BZW06-5V8BRL from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode in DO-15 package, designed for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD and IEC 61000-4-4 surge protection. It features 5.8 V standoff voltage (VRM), 10.5 V clamping voltage (VCL) at 10 A IPP, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature-ideal for AC/DC front-end protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-5V8BRL datasheet, BZW06-5V8BRL pinout, BZW06-5V8BRL application, or BZW06-5V8BRL equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 10 A, low dynamic resistance (0.059 Ω), bidirectional polarity, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 (30 kV contact/air discharge).
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon technology to achieve low leakage (<20 nA at VRM), high thermal stability (Tj max = 175 °C), and robust surge handling across both polarities. Its bidirectional architecture enables symmetric clamping during positive/negative transients without external polarity management.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-4 level 4 (4 kV) and exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 (30 kV air/contact discharge). Dynamic resistance of 0.059 Ω ensures minimal voltage overshoot under 10 A 10/1000 µs pulses, while junction capacitance remains below 1000 pF at 1 V reverse bias for signal integrity preservation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRM) | 5.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 10.5 V at 10 A IPP - limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains standard lightning-surge energy without failure |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 0.059 Ω - minimizes voltage rise above VBR during surge current flow |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| ESD Withstand (IEC 61000-4-2) | 30 kV contact & air discharge - exceeds level 4 for robust system-level ESD immunity |
| Surge Rating (IEC 61000-4-4) | 4 kV - withstands fast-rise repetitive surges in AC mains interfaces |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 (JEDEC DO-204AC) axial-leaded package with matte tin-plated leads. Body length 6.05–6.75 mm, lead diameter 0.71–0.88 mm, overall length 26–31 mm. RoHS-compliant ECOPACK2 grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; forms symmetrical path with cathode |
| Cathode (K) | Current exit terminal in forward bias | Connected to higher-potential side; bidirectional operation means both terminals conduct during opposite-polarity transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC lines or floating DC buses without polarity constraints |
| Low dynamic resistance (0.059 Ω) | Reduces clamping voltage overshoot under high di/dt transients, improving downstream IC survivability |
| High junction temperature rating (175 °C) | Permits placement near heat-generating components (e.g., rectifiers, transformers) without derating |
| UL 497B certified (QVGQ2.E136224) | Validates suitability for telecom/data line surge protection per safety-critical infrastructure standards |
| IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 compliance | Guarantees immunity to human-body-model ESD events up to 30 kV in production and field environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A | Unidirectional; 5.0 V VRM; 9.2 V VCL @ 10 A; DO-214AA package | Requires dual-device configuration for AC line protection; smaller footprint but lower power rating (600 W same, but lower 8/20 µs capability) | Select when space-constrained PCB layout favors SMD and polarity is fixed |
| P6KE6.8CA | Unidirectional; 6.8 V VRM; 10.5 V VCL @ 10 A; DO-15 package; 600 W rating | Lacks IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 validation; no UL 497B listing; higher leakage (>50 µA) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ESD certification is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A and P6KE6.8CA, BZW06-5V8BRL delivers verified bidirectional clamping, UL 497B certification, and sub-20 nA leakage at 25 °C-making it preferred for safety-critical AC interface and telecom applications requiring zero-polarity ambiguity and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for BZW06-5V8BRL?
The maximum lead temperature for soldering is 260 °C for 10 seconds at 5 mm from the case, per JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL level 1. Reflow profile must follow ST's recommended ramp rates: peak 240–245 °C, 60-second dwell, with controlled cooling at −2 to −3 °C/s to prevent thermal shock.
Does BZW06-5V8BRL require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes-peak pulse power must be derated linearly above 25 °C ambient using Figure 3 in DS0661. At 100 °C ambient, PPP drops to ~420 W (10/1000 µs); at 150 °C, it falls to ~220 W. Junction temperature-not ambient-is the limiting factor, so PCB copper area and thermal vias directly impact usable power.
How does bidirectional operation affect clamping symmetry?
BZW06-5V8BRL exhibits matched clamping voltages for both polarities: VCL = 10.5 V at +10 A and −10 A (10/1000 µs), confirmed in Table 2 and Figure 5. This symmetry eliminates need for polarity-aware layout and ensures equal protection on AC-coupled or floating DC nodes.
Can BZW06-5V8BRL replace older BZW06-5V8 versions?
Yes-BZW06-5V8BRL is the tape-and-reel variant of the BZW06-5V8B bidirectional TVS diode. The "RL" suffix denotes packaging (6000 pcs/reel, DO-15), not functional change. Electrical specs, marking, and thermal behavior are identical to the ammopack version (BZW06-5V8B).
