BOURNS CDSOT23-SM712 TVS Diode, Bidirectional, 12V, 26V, SOT-23

The BOURNS CDSOT23-SM712 is a high-performance surface-mount TVS diode designed to provide robust protection for sensitive electronic components and data lines. It offers comprehensive safeguarding against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and surge events, ensuring compliance with key international standards including IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge). This makes it an essential component for ensuring the reliability and longevity of modern electronic systems.

Key Features & Protection

This bidirectional diode features a 12V reverse standoff voltage and a maximum clamping voltage of 26V, effectively limiting transient over-voltages to safe levels. With a high peak pulse power dissipation of 400W, it can absorb significant transient energy. The component boasts a maximum ESD protection rating of 30kV and a typical breakdown voltage of 13.3V, providing a reliable response to sudden voltage spikes.

Applications

Ideal for a wide range of applications, the CDSOT23-SM712 is commonly used to protect data ports in wireless communication systems, network equipment, and portable consumer electronics. It is particularly well-suited for safeguarding interfaces such as RS-485 ports, where data integrity is critical.

Physical & Operational Specifications

Housed in a compact and industry-standard SOT-23 surface-mount package with 3 pins, this TVS diode is designed for efficient PCB assembly. It operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions. Please note: this is an ESD-sensitive device, so proper handling precautions must be observed during installation and storage.
