SM712TC Datasheet (Semtech Corporation) - Asymmetrical TVS Diode for Extended Common-Mode RS-485

SM712TC, Asymmetrical TVS Diode for Extended Common-Mode RS-485

The SM712 transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is designed for asymmetrical (12V to -7V ) protection in multi-point data transmission standard RS-485 applications.

The SM712 may be used to protect devices from transient voltages resulting from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast trans

SM712TC Features

* 400 Watts (tp = 8/20µs) of power handling capability to accommodate the higher transient voltage levels which may be expected in extended common mode applications. This provides higher equipment reliability and eliminates the guess work required when using zener diodes that are not rated to handle
