The TSM36A is a part of TI’s surge protection device family. The TSM36A robustly shunts up to 41 A of IEC 61000-4-5 fault current to protect systems from high power transients or lightning strikes. The device offers a solution to the common industrial signal line EMC requirement to survive up to 1.7 kV IEC 61000-4-5 open circuit voltage coupled through a 42 Ω impedance. The TSM36A clamps during a surge event, assuring system exposure below 50 V at I PP = 25 A.
Additionally, the TSM36A 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.
