Product details
Overview
TB1800H-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) rated for 160V stand-off voltage, 100A peak pulse current (10/1000μs), and 400A peak pulse current (8/20μs), with 120pF off-state capacitance and 3.5V on-state voltage at 1A. It provides robust overvoltage clamping in telecom line interfaces, DSL/Cable modem protection circuits, and industrial Ethernet ports.
For engineers reviewing the TB1800H-13-F datasheet, TB1800H-13-F pinout, TB1800H-13-F application, or TB1800H-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include stand-off voltage margin relative to operating line voltage, peak pulse current rating for system-level surge immunity (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4), off-state capacitance impact on high-speed signal integrity, and thermal resistance (20°C/W junction-to-lead) for sustained surge duty cycles.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered crowbar device: it remains in high-impedance off-state until applied voltage exceeds its 220V breakover threshold (VBO), then latches into low-voltage conduction (<3.5V at 1A) until current falls below 150–800mA holding current (IH). Its oxide-glass passivated junction ensures stable VBO drift of only +0.1%/°C over temperature.
The device is inherently bidirectional with no polarity marking, enabling symmetric AC line protection without external diode bridging. Its SMB package supports automated SMT assembly and delivers 100°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard PCB layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VDRM) | 160V - Maximum continuous AC/DC line voltage the device blocks before triggering |
| Breakover Voltage (VBO) | 220V - Threshold at which device switches from blocking to conducting state |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SP1003-010 | 100V VDRM, 200A IPP (8/20μs), 150pF CO, SMB package | Lower stand-off voltage limits use to sub-100V AC lines; higher capacitance affects >10MHz signals | Select when higher surge current rating is prioritized over high-frequency signal fidelity |
| Vishay V130LA20AP | 130V VDRM, 100A IPP (10/1000μs), 100pF CO, DO-15 axial lead | Through-hole mounting only; lower capacitance suits legacy telecom designs but lacks SMT scalability | Select for cost-sensitive, non-high-speed legacy systems where manual assembly is acceptable |
Compared with SP1003-010 and V130LA20AP, TB1800H-13-F offers optimal balance of 160V stand-off margin, 120pF capacitance for broadband line interfaces, and SMB SMT compatibility-making it preferred for next-generation DSL, DOCSIS 3.1, and industrial Ethernet designs requiring automated assembly and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for TB1800H-13-F?
The maximum rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) is 160V. This is the highest RMS or DC voltage the device can block continuously without triggering. Operation above this level risks unintended conduction and potential failure. Derating by 20% is recommended for long-term reliability in high-temperature environments.
How does TB1800H-13-F differ from unidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
TB1800H-13-F is a thyristor-based crowbar device with latching behavior: once triggered, it stays on until current drops below its 150–800mA holding threshold. Unidirectional TVS diodes clamp non-latching and reset immediately after surge decay. This makes TB1800H-13-F superior for high-energy surges where sustained clamping is needed, but requires careful circuit design to ensure current interruption.
Is TB1800H-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. TB1800H-13-F features matte tin-plated terminals and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to assembly. Peak reflow temperature must not exceed 260°C for ≤10 seconds.
Does TB1800H-13-F require external gate control or biasing?
No. TB1800H-13-F is a passive, voltage-triggered device with no gate terminal or control pins. It operates solely based on applied voltage across its terminals exceeding the 220V breakover threshold (VBO). No external bias, timing circuitry, or driver is required-enabling simple, two-terminal integration into line protection networks.
