Bidirectional thyristor surge protectors offer very low breakover voltage

Bourns has expanded its leading line of bidirectional overvoltage protectors offering very low breakover voltage. Designed to limit damaging overvoltage threats, their latest thyristor surge device provides optimized two-point protection for transformer windings, low voltage electronics and digital telecommunication lines. The Model TISP4011H1BJ, as with other members of the series, features very low V(bo) breakover voltage of 10.5V, which allows designers to protect lines of working voltages up to 5.25V. Delivering excellent protection for electrical overstress conditions, both models provide low voltage overshoot and low capacitance. Offering a space-saving design, these overvoltage protectors are symmetrical voltage-triggered bidirectional thyristors housed in a surface mount SMB package.
