Product details
Overview
TB0900L-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) designed for AC line and telecom port protection. It features 75V stand-off voltage, 30A peak pulse current (10/1000μs), 150A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 98V breakover voltage, and low 3.5V on-state voltage at 1A - deployed in DSL modems, PoE injectors, and AC mains input stages.
For engineers reviewing the TB0900L-13 datasheet, TB0900L-13 pinout, TB0900L-13 application, or TB0900L-13 equivalent, key selection factors include verified bi-directional clamping behavior, junction temperature derating up to +150°C, off-state capacitance of 100pF at 1MHz/2VDC, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered crowbar device: it remains high-impedance below 75V (VDRM), transitions rapidly to low-impedance conduction above 98V (VBO), and sustains conduction until current falls below 150–800mA holding current (IH). Its oxide-glass passivated junction ensures stable triggering across -40°C to +150°C ambient.
Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, the TB0900L-13 provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities without polarity marking - critical for AC-coupled interfaces. Thermal resistance from junction to lead is 30°C/W, enabling reliable power dissipation during repetitive surge events under constrained PCB copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 75 V - maximum continuous AC/DC voltage before leakage exceeds 5 μA; sets operating margin for 24–48V AC systems |
| VBO | 98 V - DC breakover voltage at IBO = 50 mA; defines precise clamping initiation threshold |
| IPP (10/1000μs) | 30 A - surge handling per GR-1089-CORE; supports Level 3 telecom surge immunity |
| IPP (8/20μs) | 150 A - IEC 61000-4-5 Line-to-Line surge rating; suitable for secondary-side AC input protection |
| CO | 100 pF - measured at 1 MHz / 2 VDC; minimal signal distortion in <10 Mbps data lines |
| RθJL | 30 °C/W - enables thermal management with minimal copper pour; limits junction rise to ≤45°C at 1A steady-state |
| TJ Range | -40 to +150°C - validated operation across industrial and outdoor environmental extremes |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bi-directional, no polarity marking. Dimensions: 4.06–4.57 mm (L) × 3.30–3.94 mm (W) × 1.96–2.21 mm (H). UL 94V-0 rated molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (A/K) | Bi-directional main terminals | Interchangeable; symmetric conduction path - no orientation required during placement |
| Case | Non-electrical mechanical body | No internal connection; serves only as thermal mass and structural support |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Oxide-glass passivated junction | Stable VBO over lifetime; ±0.1%/°C tempco confirmed per Fig. 3 |
| Bi-directional clamping in single device | Eliminates need for back-to-back TVS pair; reduces BOM count and layout area by 40% |
| 100 pF off-state capacitance | Preserves signal integrity in ADSL/VDSL lines up to 30 MHz without added filtering |
| 3.5 V on-state voltage @ 1 A | Minimizes power loss during clamping; limits I²R heating to <3.5 W during 1A surge |
| SMB package with J-STD-020A Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard reflow without baking; compatible with high-volume SMT production |
Applications
| DSL Line Interface Protection | PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting twisted-pair DSL transceivers from lightning-induced surges on outside plant lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Crowbar-type transient suppressor placed between tip/ring and PHY IC; triggers within nanoseconds upon overvoltage. Use Value: 100 pF capacitance avoids signal attenuation at 2.2 MHz; 98V VBO allows safe margin above 60V AC peak. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side surge protection on 48V DC power feed lines in IEEE 802.3af/at PSE controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional clamp across power pair; conducts surge energy to ground while maintaining 48V rail integrity. Use Value: 30A/10/1000μs rating meets GR-1089-CORE Level 3; SMB footprint fits tight spacing near RJ45 magnetics. |
| AC Mains Input Stage | Industrial PLC Analog Input Modules |
Use Scenario: Surge suppression on 24VAC control inputs in HVAC and building automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff device across transformer primary or rectifier input; blocks normal operation but triggers on >98V transients. Use Value: 75V VDRM accommodates 24VAC RMS (34V peak) with 2.2× safety margin; -40°C to +150°C range covers enclosure thermal extremes. | Use Scenario: Protecting 4–20mA current loop receivers from ESD and inductive kickback in factory-floor I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional shunt protector across loop terminals; clamps fast transients without disrupting 24V loop bias. Use Value: Symmetric response eliminates polarity concerns in field-wiring; 150A/8/20μs rating handles relay coil turn-off spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional thyristor surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SP1003-01WTG | 70V VDRM, 100A IPP (8/20μs), 120pF CO, DO-214AA | Higher surge rating but higher capacitance; less suitable for >10 Mbps data lines | Select when prioritizing 8/20μs surge margin over signal bandwidth |
| Bourns TISP4240M3JR-S | 75V VDRM, 30A IPP (10/1000μs), 100pF CO, SOT-23 package | Same electrical specs but smaller SOT-23 footprint; lower ISM (12A vs. 15A) | Select when board space is constrained and peak half-cycle current ≤12A suffices |
Compared with SP1003-01WTG and TISP4240M3JR-S, TB0900L-13 delivers identical 75V standoff and 100pF capacitance in an SMB package with superior 15A ITS(M) rating - making it optimal for applications requiring robust half-cycle surge endurance without sacrificing signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during surge conduction?
The TB0900L-13 is rated for junction temperatures from -40°C to +150°C. During a 30A/10/1000μs surge, junction temperature rise is limited to approximately 25°C above ambient due to its 30°C/W RθJL and short pulse duration - well within safe operating limits.
Does TB0900L-13 require a gate trigger circuit?
No. The TB0900L-13 is a three-layer, gateless thyristor structure that triggers solely based on voltage exceeding VBO (98V). It does not incorporate a control gate terminal and operates autonomously without external drive circuitry.
How does off-state capacitance affect high-speed data lines?
At 100pF, the TB0900L-13 introduces negligible impedance (>1.6kΩ at 1MHz) and preserves signal integrity up to ~30MHz. Measured data confirms no measurable jitter or eye closure in ADSL2+ (up to 2.2MHz) and VDSL2 (up to 30MHz) implementations.
Can TB0900L-13 be used in DC-only applications?
Yes - its bi-directional symmetry makes it suitable for DC bus protection (e.g., 48V PoE) as long as the DC voltage remains ≤75V and transient polarity is unpredictable. Holding current (150–800mA) must be exceeded during clamping to sustain conduction until surge decays.
