1N6040A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N6040A from MSC is a silicon avalanche diode belonging to the 1N60 series, designed for transient voltage suppression applications. This hermetically sealed component features a glass passivated junction and offers excellent clamping capability with low zener impedance. It has a breakdown voltage range of 6.8 to 200 volts, with the 1N6040A specifically rated at a nominal voltage of 9.0V with 5% tolerance.

Key electrical characteristics include a peak pulse power (Ppk) of 15000 Watts for a 10 x 1000µs waveform at 25°C, and a steady-state power dissipation of 1 Watt. The response time is theoretically 1 x 10^-12 seconds. The operating and storage temperature range is from -55°C to +150°C.

Mechanically, the 1N6040A is housed in a metal hermetically sealed DO-13 package with axial leads. The leads are solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, with a maximum soldering temperature of 230°C for 10 seconds. The component weighs approximately 1.5 grams. This diode is recognized under the Components Program of Underwriters Laboratories with file number E128662.
