3 Description
The TSM36A-Q1 is a 36V, bidirectional TVS
protection diode designed for clamping harmful
transients such as ESD and surge. The TSM36A-Q1
robustly shunts up to 20A of IEC 61000-4-5 fault
current to protect systems from high power transients
or lightning strikes.
Additionally, the TSM36A-Q1 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 extremely low
device leakage and capacitance ensures a minimal
effect on the protected line.
