Product details
Overview
TB2300M-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional surface-mount thyristor surge protective device (TSPD) designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in telecom and industrial AC/DC power interfaces. It features 190V stand-off voltage, 50A peak pulse current (10/1000µs), 250A peak surge current (8/20µs), 3.5V on-state voltage at 1A, and 60pF off-state capacitance - enabling robust GR-1089-CORE and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance in DSL line cards and PoE-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TB2300M-13 datasheet, TB2300M-13 pinout, TB2300M-13 application, or TB2300M-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified bi-directional clamping behavior, thermal resistance (RJL = 20°C/W), holding current range (150–800mA), junction temperature rating (−40°C to +150°C), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TSPD operates as a voltage-triggered crowbar device: it remains high-impedance below 190V (VDRM), triggers at ~265V (VBO) via internal avalanche-initiated thyristor latch-up, and sustains conduction until current falls below 150–800mA (IH). Its oxide-glass passivated junction ensures stable breakover voltage drift of +0.1%/°C.
Unlike TVS diodes, it delivers low clamping voltage only after triggering and relies on system current limiting to reset; its 30ms maximum recovery time and 20°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance support repeated surge handling in AC-coupled telecom ports without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 190 V - Maximum continuous reverse/forward blocking voltage before conduction |
| IPP (10/1000µs) | 50 A - Peak surge current capability per GR-1089-CORE Level 3 requirement |
| IPP (8/20µs) | 250 A - Surge rating aligned with IEC 61000-4-5 Line-to-Line test profiles |
| VT @ 1A | 3.5 V - Low on-state voltage minimizes power dissipation during clamping |
| CO | 60 pF - Low capacitance preserves signal integrity in high-speed data lines (e.g., xDSL) |
| RJL | 20 °C/W - Enables direct PCB copper pour heat sinking for repetitive surge duty cycles |
| TJ Range | −40°C to +150°C - Supports operation in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor base stations |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bi-directional device with no polarity marking; terminals are anode and cathode - functionally interchangeable due to symmetrical structure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Current entry terminal during positive half-cycle conduction | Connected to protected line side; must withstand full surge current path |
| Cathode (K) | Current exit terminal during positive half-cycle conduction | Connected to ground or return path; forms low-impedance clamp loop with A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC lines without external bridge or polarity awareness |
| Oxide-glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBO and leakage under humidity and thermal cycling |
| UL Recognized Component (E156346) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification without additional system-level testing |
| Low 60pF off-state capacitance | Maintains >10MHz bandwidth in ADSL2+/VDSL2 line interfaces without signal attenuation |
| 20°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Allows ≥3× higher surge repetition rate vs. comparable TSPDs with RJL > 40°C/W |
Applications
| DSL Line Card Protection | PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting twisted-pair copper interfaces in central office DSLAMs against lightning-induced surges and AC power cross-talk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary crowbar protector placed between line transformer secondary and codec IC input. Use Value: 190V VDRM blocks normal-mode AC ringing while 265V VBO triggers fast enough to limit induced transients to <120V at codec pins. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding IEEE 802.3af/at PSE controller ICs and MOSFET switches from cable discharge events and Ethernet ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional shunt clamp on DC power pairs (spare pairs or mode-A/B power delivery paths). Use Value: 60pF CO avoids degrading 100BASE-TX eye diagrams; 250A 8/20µs rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 requirements. |
| Industrial AC Motor Control Inputs | Building Automation BACnet MS/TP Interfaces |
Use Scenario: Guarding 24VAC control inputs of PLC I/O modules against inductive kickback and utility grid transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector across input terminals, upstream of optocoupler or rectifier bridge. Use Value: −40°C to +150°C TJ range supports operation inside sealed motor drive cabinets; 3.5V VT limits self-heating during sustained fault conditions. | Use Scenario: Securing RS-485-based BACnet MS/TP nodes installed in HVAC ducts and elevator shafts exposed to EFT and surge coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional transient suppressor on differential bus lines (A/B), referenced to local chassis ground. Use Value: UL recognition simplifies UL 60730-1 compliance for building control systems; SMB footprint enables dense layout on space-constrained node PCBs. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ190CA | Unidirectional TVS diode; 190V standoff, 52.2V clamping at 50A, 100pF capacitance | Lacks crowbar latching; requires series impedance for reset; higher clamping voltage | Prefer for lower-cost, non-latching protection where system current naturally drops post-surge |
| TB2600M-13 | 220V VDRM, 300V VBO, same SMB package and thermal specs | Better suited for 240VAC mains-fed equipment; slightly higher trigger threshold delays response to marginal surges | Select when protecting 230VAC auxiliary supplies where 190V VDRM risks nuisance triggering |
Compared with SMBJ190CA, TB2300M-13 provides lower clamping voltage (3.5V vs. 52.2V) and true crowbar action but requires external current limiting. Versus TB2600M-13, it offers faster response to sub-220V transients at the cost of reduced margin against sustained overvoltage.

FAQ
What is the minimum required series impedance to ensure reliable reset after triggering?
The device requires load current to fall below 150mA (IH min) to return to high-impedance state. For a 48V PoE line, a 330Ω series resistor limits hold current to ~145mA, ensuring recovery within 30ms. Lower voltages require proportionally smaller resistors; consult Figure 1 in DS30361 for IH vs. TJ curves.
Can TB2300M-13 be used in DC-only applications like battery backup systems?
Yes - its bi-directional symmetry allows use across DC rails, provided the system includes current-limiting impedance to guarantee post-surge current drops below 150mA. In 24V DC systems, a 150Ω resistor ensures safe reset; note that VDRM defines maximum continuous reverse bias, not just AC peak.
How does temperature affect breakover voltage accuracy?
VBO increases by +0.1% per °C rise in junction temperature. At 125°C junction, VBO rises ~10% above its 25°C value of 265V - to ~292V. This positive coefficient prevents premature triggering at high ambient temperatures common in enclosed industrial gear.
Is the SMB package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - TB2300M-13 uses lead-free solder plating on terminals and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020A moisture sensitivity level 1. The molded plastic housing meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and all materials are fully traceable per Diodes Inc. PPAP documentation.
