Texas Instruments TSM24B Unidirectional Surge Protection Diode

Texas Instruments TSM24B Unidirectional Surge Protection Diode robustly shunts up to 20A of IEC 61000-4-5 fault current to protect systems from high power transients or lightning strikes. The TSM24B is rated to dissipate ESD strikes beyond the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (±30kV contact, ±30kV air gap). The TSM24B clamps during a surge event, keeping system exposure below 33V (typical) at IPP = 20A.

Additionally, the Texas Instruments TSM24B is available in a small leaded SOT-23 (DBZ) package, which is reduced in size by approximately 50 percent compared to the industry standard SMA package. The device is designed to have a minimal effect on the protected line due to extremely low device leakage.

Features

  • Robust surge protection
    • IEC61000-4-5 (8/20µs) of 20A
  • A low clamping voltage of 33V (typical) at 20A for 8/20µs surge current protects downstream components
  • Unidirectional polarity for optimized clamping performance on single-ended data lines and power rails
  • 24V working voltage for protecting signals on 12V systems
  • Low leakage current of 75nA (maximum)
  • Low I/O capacitance of 24pF (typical)
  • Integrated IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection
    • ±30kV contact discharge
    • ±30kV air-gap discharge
  • Small SOT-23 leaded package to minimize board space and allow for automatic optical inspection (AOI)

Applications

  • Industrial sensors
  • Controller area network (CAN)
  • PLC I/O modules
  • 24V power lines or digital inputs or output lines
  • Appliances
  • Medical equipment
  • Motor drivers
