TClamp1202P
Low Capacitance TClamp® Surge Protection for 12V Interfaces
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - TransClamp®
PRELIMINARY
Description
TClamp®1202P provides dedicated surge and ESD protection for RS-485 and other 12V lines in industrial applications. It features high surge current capability of 100A (tp=8/20us) and low clamping voltage making them ideal for use in harsh transient environments.
This device is designed to replace mulitple discrete components by integrating low capacitance, surgerated compensation diodes with a high power transient voltage suppressor (TVS). Capacitance is limited to 12pF maximum to ensure correct signal transmission on high-speed lines. Each TClamp1202P may be used to protect up to two lines. A voltage bus operating up to 12V can also be optionally protected.
