Product details
Overview
TB1800M-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) designed for primary-level AC/DC line protection in telecom and industrial interfaces. It features 160V stand-off voltage (VDRM), 220V breakover voltage (VBO), 50A 10/1000µs peak pulse current (Ipp), 3.5V on-state voltage (VT) at 1A, and 90pF off-state capacitance (CO), enabling robust transient suppression in DSL, POTS, and PoE-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TB1800M-13 datasheet, TB1800M-13 pinout, TB1800M-13 application, or TB1800M-13 equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy bidirectional clamping where low capacitance, stable triggering, and GR-1089-CORE/IEC 61000-4-5 compliance are required in space-constrained SMB-packaged designs.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered silicon bilateral switch with symmetrical breakdown characteristics. Its oxide-glass passivated junction ensures stable VBO (220V min) and tight leakage control (IDRM ≤ 5µA at 160V), while its positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.1%/°C) supports predictable thermal derating across –40°C to +150°C junction range.
The device latches into low-impedance conduction upon exceeding VBO, sustaining up to 30A non-repetitive on-state current (ITSM) for 8.3ms, then recovers to high-impedance state within 30ms after current falls below IH (150–800mA). Its SMB package delivers RJA = 100°C/W and RJL = 20°C/W for effective thermal management in board-level surge paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 160V - Maximum continuous reverse/forward blocking voltage before triggering; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| VBO | 220V min - Breakover voltage threshold at which device switches to low-impedance state; defines clamping onset point. |
| Ipp (10/1000µs) | 50A - Peak surge current capability per GR-1089-CORE; determines single-event energy handling (≈1.25J). |
| CO | 90pF - Off-state capacitance at 1MHz/2V bias; critical for preserving signal integrity in high-speed telecom lines. |
| VT @ IT=1A | 3.5V - On-state voltage drop during conduction; directly impacts power dissipation (3.5W peak) and thermal design. |
| IH | 150–800mA - Holding current range; must exceed load current to ensure reliable reset after surge clearance. |
| RJL | 20°C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking without external heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bi-directional, polarity-free. Dimensions: 4.06–4.57mm (L) × 3.30–3.94mm (W) × 1.96–2.21mm (H); UL 94V-0 rated molded plastic body; solderable terminals per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB1500M-13 | 140V VDRM, 180V VBO, same SMB package and 90pF CO | Lower clamping threshold; better suited for 120VAC-derived systems with tighter voltage margins | Select when system working voltage is ≤140V and lower VBO improves let-through energy reduction. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The TB1800M-13 has a specified junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C. For continuous operation, thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. With RJL = 20°C/W, a 1A on-state current produces 3.5W, requiring ≤70°C temperature rise from lead to junction-achievable using ≥25 mm² 2-oz copper pad per terminal.
Does TB1800M-13 require a gate trigger or external control signal?
No. TB1800M-13 is a passive, voltage-triggered thyristor device with no gate terminal. It switches automatically when applied voltage exceeds its breakover voltage (VBO ≥ 220V), then remains latched until load current falls below holding current (IH ≥ 150mA). No external bias, timing, or drive circuitry is needed.
How does the 90pF off-state capacitance affect high-speed data lines?
At 90pF, TB1800M-13 introduces minimal capacitive loading on telecom lines: insertion loss remains <0.5dB up to 30MHz (e.g., VDSL2), and return loss exceeds 15dB through 10MHz. This meets ITU-T G.993.2 requirements for DSL front-end protectors without requiring compensation networks or layout detuning.
Can TB1800M-13 be used in DC-only applications like battery-powered equipment?
Yes-TB1800M-13 functions identically on DC as on AC due to its bi-directional symmetry. It is commonly deployed on DC power rails (e.g., 12–48V) in battery-backed telecom nodes and industrial controllers. Ensure the DC working voltage stays ≤160V (VDRM), and that load current reliably drops below IH after surge clearance to guarantee automatic reset.
