The TSM36A-Q1 is a 36V, bidirectional TVS protection diode designed for clamping harmful transients such as ESD and surge. The TSM36A-Q1 robustly shunts up to 20A of IEC 61000-4-5 fault current to protect systems from high power transients or lightning strikes.

Additionally, the TSM36A-Q1 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 extremely low device leakage and capacitance ensures a minimal effect on the protected line.
