Product details
Overview
TB1800H-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) designed for primary-level AC/DC line protection in telecom and industrial interfaces. It features a 160V stand-off voltage (VDRM), 220V breakover voltage (VBO), 100A peak pulse current (10/1000μs), 400A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and 120pF off-state capacitance - enabling robust GR-1089-CORE and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance in DSL, POTS, and PoE-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TB1800H-13 datasheet, TB1800H-13 pinout, TB1800H-13 application, or TB1800H-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include stand-off voltage margin vs. line voltage, hold-current stability over temperature, surge waveform derating (e.g., 10/700μs vs. 10/1000μs), and SMB package thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W) for PCB layout reliability.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered crowbar device: it remains high-impedance below VDRM (160V), transitions to low-on-state voltage (≤3.5V at 1A) upon exceeding VBO (220V), and latches until current falls below IH (150–800mA). Its oxide-glass passivated junction ensures stable breakdown with ±0.1%/°C temperature coefficient.
Designed for bidirectional line-to-line or line-to-ground protection, it delivers symmetrical clamping without polarity marking. The device sustains non-repetitive 50A on-state current (ITSM) and recovers within ≤30ms after surge removal - critical for repeated lightning-induced transients in outdoor telecom cabinets.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 160V - Maximum continuous AC/DC operating voltage before conduction; sets minimum insulation margin for 120VAC or 48VDC systems. |
| VBO | 220V - Breakover threshold where device triggers into low-resistance state; defines clamping onset for transient suppression. |
| IPP (10/1000μs) | 100A - Peak surge current handling per GR-1089-CORE; determines survivability against long-duration lightning surges. |
| IPP (8/20μs) | 400A - Higher-energy surge rating per IEC 61000-4-5; supports Type 2/3 SPD coordination in building entry points. |
| CO | 120pF - Off-state capacitance at 1MHz/2V bias; low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation in <10MHz analog/telecom lines. |
| IH | 150–800mA - Holding current range; must exceed circuit's steady-state fault current to ensure automatic reset after surge clearance. |
| RθJA | 100°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; requires ≥25mm² copper pour under pad for sustained 50A surge duty. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated terminals, and no polarity indicator due to bidirectional symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (A/K) | Bidirectional main terminals | Interchangeable; both pins serve identical conduction paths - no orientation required during placement. |
| Case | Non-electrical mechanical interface | Plastic body provides isolation; no thermal or electrical connection to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Oxide-glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBO across -40°C to +150°C with ±0.1%/°C drift - eliminates recalibration in outdoor base stations. |
| Bidirectional single-device protection | Replaces dual-diode or MOV+GDT stacks in line-to-line configurations, reducing BOM count and PCB area by >40%. |
| UL Recognized Component (File E156346) | Validates compliance for end-equipment safety certification without additional system-level testing. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 - supports automated reflow without popcorn cracking. |
Applications
| DSL Line Interface Protection | PoE Power Sourcing Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting ADSL/VDSL line cards from induced lightning surges on twisted-pair copper loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary crowbar protector placed between tip/ring and PHY IC, triggered before transceiver damage occurs. Use Value: 160V VDRM allows safe operation on 120VAC-powered DSLAMs while 220V VBO clamps 6kV 10/700μs surges per ITU-T K.21. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding IEEE 802.3af/at PSE controllers and DC-DC converters from Ethernet cable ESD and surge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional line-to-ground clamp on power pairs (pins 4–5 and 7–8), absorbing common-mode transients before they reach magnetics. Use Value: 120pF CO prevents bandwidth loss in 100BASE-TX signals; 400A 8/20μs rating handles worst-case PD-side surge coupling. |
| Industrial PLC Analog I/O Modules | AC Mains-Fed Security Cameras |
Use Scenario: Shielding 4–20mA current-loop inputs from field wiring transients in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-limited protector across input terminals, holding off 24VDC supply while triggering above 160V surge peaks. Use Value: 150–800mA IH range ensures reliable self-reset after surge decay, avoiding latch-up in loop-powered sensors. | Use Scenario: Protecting outdoor IP camera power inputs connected to 24VAC transformers exposed to lightning-prone environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-to-line crowbar on secondary side of transformer, limiting voltage rise during fast-rising surges. Use Value: 100A 10/1000μs rating meets UL497B requirements for Class B telecom equipment; SMB footprint enables compact enclosure design. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littlefuse SP1003-010 | 100V VDRM, 130V VBO, 100A IPP (10/1000μs), SMB package | Lower stand-off voltage limits use to 48VDC systems; higher leakage (10μA) reduces noise immunity in precision analog circuits. | Select when lower clamping voltage is prioritized over line-voltage margin. |
| Littelfuse SP3022-01ETG | 130V VDRM, 180V VBO, 100A IPP (10/1000μs), SOD-123FL package | Smaller footprint but higher RθJA (150°C/W); limited to lower-duty-cycle surges due to thermal constraints. | Choose for space-constrained designs where 130V VDRM suffices and thermal mass is managed externally. |
Compared with SP1003-010 and SP3022-01ETG, TB1800H-13 offers superior stand-off margin for 120VAC-derived supplies and better thermal dissipation in SMB layout - making it optimal for telecom line cards and industrial AC-fed modules requiring repeatable surge endurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for TB1800H-13?
The maximum repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) is 160V DC or RMS AC. This value represents the highest steady-state voltage the device blocks without triggering. Operation above this level risks unintended conduction, especially at elevated temperatures where leakage increases. Designers must maintain ≥20% margin below VDRM for reliability in 120VAC applications.
Does TB1800H-13 require external gate control or biasing?
No - TB1800H-13 is a three-layer bidirectional thyristor with no gate terminal. It triggers solely based on voltage exceeding VBO (220V typical) across its terminals and resets automatically when load current drops below IH (150–800mA). No external circuitry, timing components, or control signals are needed for basic surge clamping operation.
How does TB1800H-13 compare to MOV-based protectors in telecom applications?
TB1800H-13 offers sharper voltage clamping (3.5V on-state vs. MOV's gradual varistor curve), lower capacitance (120pF vs. 500–2000pF), and no degradation after repeated surges. Unlike MOVs, it does not age or shift parameters with cumulative energy exposure - ensuring consistent performance over 10+ years in DSLAM line cards meeting Telcordia GR-1089-CORE.
Can TB1800H-13 be used in automotive applications?
TB1800H-13 is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and lacks automotive-specific validation (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse testing, extended temperature cycling). Its -40°C to +150°C junction range supports under-hood ambient conditions, but absence of automotive qualification documentation and lack of automotive-grade screening make it unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems per OEM requirements.
