TBU-DT Series - TBU
®
High-Speed Protectors
General Information
The TBU-DT Series of Bourns
®
TBU
®
(Transient Blocking Unit) products are very low
capacitance dual unidirectional high-speed surge protection components designed to
protect against faults caused by short circuits, AC power cross, induction and lightning
surges.
The TBU-DT series is a unidirectional TBU
®
device; the TBU
®
protector will trip in less
than 1 ms when the current reaches the maximum value in one direction only, that is when
Pin 1 is positive in voltage with respect to Pin 2, and Pin 4 is positive with respect to Pin 3.
No current limiting exists in the opposite polarity, and the TBU
®
device appears as resis-
tive in nature. The reverse current should not exceed the maximum trigger current level of
the TBU
®
device. An external diode may be used to prevent reverse current in DC biased
applications.
The TBU
®
protector blocks surges and provides an effective barrier behind which sensitive
electronics will not be exposed to large voltages or currents during surge events. After the
surge, the TBU
®
device resets when the voltage across the TBU
®
device falls to the V
reset
level. The TBU
®
device will automatically reset on lines which have no DC bias or have
DC bias below Vreset (such as unpowered signal lines).
The TBU
®
device is provided in a surface mount DFN package and meets industry
standard requirements such as RoHS and Pb Free solder reow proles.
