LT8606 maximum rating versus recommended operating voltage range

As the maximum rating is 42V, there is probably no additional margin. That is the meaning of absolute maximum rating.
For line transients you have to use a TVS diode. But beware of clamp voltage at the clamp current - which depends on your supply. Or use a surge stopper- / hot-swap-circuit in front of your converter

Thanks, Alexxx. I'm aware that the absolute maximum rating shall not be exceeded in any case. But how can a datasheet be established with input voltage range upto 42V? This does not fit together.
