Selection Guide
Follow these steps to select the proper Thyristor surge protector for your application:
1. Define the operating parameters for the circuit:
• Ambient operating temperature range
• Maximum telephone line operating current (highest battery and shortest copper loop)
• Maximum operating voltage: (Maximum DC bias + peak ringing voltage)
• Maximum surge current
• System voltage damage threshold
2. Select device with an off-state voltage rating (V
DRM
) above the maximum operating voltage at the minimum
operating temperature.
3. Select surge current ratings (I
PPS
and I
TSM
) > those which the application must withstand
4. Verify that the minimum holding current of the device at the maximum ambient temperature is above the
maximum DC current of the system.
5. Verify that the maximum breakover voltage of the device is below the system damage threshold.
6. Verify that the circuit’s ambient operating temperatures are within the device’s operating temperature range.
7. Verify that the device’s dimensions fit the application’s space considerations.
8. Independently evaluate and test the suitability and performance of the device in the application.
