DP83TD510E: Recommended surge protection devices

Part Number: DP83TD510E

Hi Team,

I know that the DP83TD510E has been tested for surge ratings IEC61000-4-5 Surge ±2KV.

My customer is considering installing lightning surge protection outside the equipment to make it more robust.

Is there a recommended manufacturer of Surge Protective Device?

Best Regards,

Kenji

  • Hi Kenji,

    I'm not familiar with external lightning surge protection, can you clarify what this looks like? A block diagram would be useful for me to understand.

    Relative to surge protection, I have only seen ESD diodes used on the MDI lines.

    Thank you,

    Evan

  • Hi Evan,

    Thank you.

    Yes, I have also introduced ESD and TVS diodes on the board.

    I know of cases where surge absorber products are included as a countermeasure, perhaps as a device to be put between the board and the cable.

    I would like you to share some proven surge absorber products that are actually used in SPE.

    Do you share such information within your team?

    Best Regards,

    Kenji

  • Hi Kenji,

    We don't have any data for an external surge absorber used on the MDI, please contact the TVS/ESD team as they may be in a better position to help you with this.

    Thank you,

    Evan
