Product details
Overview
TB0900H-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) designed for telecom and data line overvoltage clamping. It features 75 V maximum repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM), 98 V breakover voltage (VBO), 100 A peak pulse current at 10/1000 μs, 400 A at 8/20 μs, and 200 pF off-state capacitance - enabling robust GR-1089-CORE and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance in DSL, T1/E1, and PoE interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the TB0900H-13-F datasheet, TB0900H-13-F pinout, TB0900H-13-F application, or TB0900H-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include stand-off voltage margin vs. line operating voltage, bidirectional clamping symmetry, surge current derating at elevated ambient temperature, and low off-state capacitance for high-speed signal integrity.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered, self-resetting crowbar device with oxide-glass passivated junction. Its bidirectional structure eliminates polarity concerns, while the 0.1 %/°C positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage ensures predictable voltage drift across –40 °C to +150 °C junction range.
It sustains 50 A non-repetitive on-state current for 8.3 ms (half-cycle), exhibits ≤3.5 V on-state voltage at 1 A, and recovers to high-impedance state within ≤30 ms after surge termination - meeting UL497B and ITU-T K.20/K.21 requirements for telecom primary protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 75 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS AC voltage before conduction; sets minimum margin above 56 V nominal DSL line voltage. |
| VBO | 98 V - Breakover voltage threshold where device latches into low-impedance state; defines clamping onset for transient suppression. |
| IPP @ 10/1000μs | 100 A - Peak surge current handling per GR-1089-CORE; determines survivability against lightning-induced surges. |
| IPP @ 8/20μs | 400 A - Higher-energy surge rating per IEC 61000-4-5; supports equipment-level immunity testing. |
| CO | 200 pF - Off-state capacitance at 2 VDC bias and 1 MHz; limits insertion loss and signal distortion on broadband lines. |
| IH | 150–800 mA - Holding current range; ensures reliable reset after surge when load current drops below this threshold. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; informs PCB copper area and airflow requirements for power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional - no polarity marking required. Molded plastic case rated UL 94V-0; matte tin-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (A/K) | Bidirectional main terminals | Interchangeable due to symmetrical thyristor structure; both pins conduct equally in either direction during surge event. |
| Case | Non-electrical mechanical reference | No internal connection; serves only as thermal path and mounting interface - not used for circuit grounding or signal reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or differential telecom lines without polarity constraints. |
| Oxide-glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBO and low leakage (<5 µA at 75 V) over lifetime and temperature extremes. |
| High off-state impedance / low on-state voltage | Maintains signal integrity during normal operation while limiting clamping voltage to ≤3.5 V under 1 A load current. |
| UL Recognized Component | Listed under File E156346, supporting regulatory certification for telecom infrastructure equipment. |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free package material compliant with environmental directives beyond RoHS. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional thyristor surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ75CA | Unidirectional TVS diode; 75 V standoff, 400 W peak power, 1000 W surge rating at 10/1000 μs. | Lacks self-resetting capability; requires external current limiting or fuse for sustained overvoltage. | Select when lower cost and faster response (<1 ns) are prioritized over autonomous recovery and high-current surge endurance. |
| TB1100H-13-F | Higher 90 V VDRM and 130 V VBO; same SMB package and 400 A 8/20 μs rating. | Better suited for 75–85 V nominal systems (e.g., extended-range PoE++, industrial 24 VDC lines). | Choose when system operating voltage exceeds 75 V but still requires identical footprint and thermal performance. |
Compared with SMCJ75CA, TB0900H-13-F offers automatic reset and higher surge current capacity, while TB1100H-13-F extends voltage margin without changing layout - making TB0900H-13-F optimal for 56–60 V telecom and standard PoE interfaces requiring reliable, maintenance-free protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for TB0900H-13-F?
The maximum repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) is 75 V DC or RMS AC. This is the highest steady-state voltage the device blocks without triggering. Operation above this value risks unintended conduction; design margin should be maintained relative to system nominal voltage, especially under temperature variation and tolerance stack-up.
Does TB0900H-13-F require a series current-limiting resistor?
No external current-limiting resistor is required for transient suppression, as the device latches and holds low impedance until line current falls below its holding current (150–800 mA). However, a fuse or PTC may be used downstream to protect against sustained overcurrent if the protected circuit cannot naturally limit current post-trigger.
How does temperature affect the breakover voltage of TB0900H-13-F?
Breakover voltage has a +0.1 %/°C positive temperature coefficient. At +125 °C junction temperature, VBO increases by ~10% versus 25 °C - from 98 V to approximately 108 V. This shift must be accounted for in designs where surge threshold consistency across temperature is critical.
Can TB0900H-13-F be used in automotive applications?
TB0900H-13-F is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and lacks automotive-specific validation (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse testing, extended temperature cycling). While its -40 °C to +150 °C junction range meets automotive ambient extremes, its surge standards alignment (GR-1089, ITU-T) targets telecom - not vehicle E/E architecture requirements.
