3 Description

The TSM24A is a part of TI's surge protection device

family. The TSM24A robustly shunts up to 60 A of

IEC 61000-4-5 fault current to protect systems from

high power transients or lightning strikes. The device

offers a solution to the common industrial signal

line EMC requirement to survive up to 2.5 kV IEC

61000-4-5 open circuit voltage coupled through a 42

Ω impedance. The TSM24A clamps during a surge

event, keeping system exposure below 38 V (typical)

at I PP = 60 A.

Additionally, the TSM24A is available in a small

leaded SOT-23 (DBZ) package which is reduced

in size by approximately 50 percent compared to

the industry standard SMA package. The device is

designed to have a minimal effect on the protected

line due to extremely low device leakage.
