BZW50-12B from STMicroelectronics, in a R-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | passive | Terminal of the bidirectional 5000 W (10/1000 µs) TVS, VRM 12 V, VBR 13.3 V min at 1 mA; the device is symmetric, so this terminal is interchangeable with the other (datasheet labels the terminals A and K). |
| 2 | K | passive | Terminal of the bidirectional 5000 W (10/1000 µs) TVS, VRM 12 V, VBR 13.3 V min at 1 mA; the device is symmetric, so this terminal is interchangeable with the other (bidirectional parts have red tape on both sides). |
