TPD2E007: Want to protect 9kV ESD on RS485-devices.

Part Number: TPD2E007
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: STRIKE

Hi,

To protect RS485 devices, TPD2E007 is one of candidate device. His requirement is to protect 9kV ESD, but TPD2E007 is protected 8KV ESD.  If he uses TPD2E007 with 9kV ESD, what is happened?  ( Is TPD2E007 broken?  Or By 8kV ESD, TPD2E007 is protected, but is still roughly 1kV ESD NOT protected? )

Also, If you have any other recommended devices, please let us know.

Thanks and best regards,
M.HATTORI.

  • Hi Motoyasu-san,

    If TPD2E007 experiences a 9 kV IEC strike, it will break. Unfortunately, TPD2E007 is currently our only 13 V ESD protection device. Do you see this 9 kV requirement often for RS-485? Also what is the customer's application/end equipment?

  • Hi, Matt-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

    My customer wants to pass "9kV pulse from air discharge", NOT on contact.  Do you think passing it by TPD2E007 or broken?   If still broken, please let us know the recommended devices.

    He wants to use common RS485 devices for interoperability, but this devices are old and supported only 3kV ESD.  That is why I am asking.

    Thanks and best regards,

  • Hi Motoyasu-san,

    If your customer wants to pass 9kV IEC air discharge, then, the TPD2E007 is a suitable device for them. 

    The TPD2E007 supports ±15-kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge and will not break with a 9kV air-discharge strike.

    Please let me know if you have additional questions.

    Thank you,
