TBU-KE Series - TBU® High Speed Protectors
General Information
The TBU-KE Series of Bourns® TBU®
(Transient Blocking Unit) products are very
Line Side
low capacitance unidirectional high speed
surge protection components designed to protect
against faults caused by short circuits, AC
power cross, induction and lightning surges.

TBU® Device
Load Side
The TBU-KE is a unidirectional TBU® device: the TBU® protector will trip in less than
1 μs when the current reaches the maximum value in one direction only, that is when
Pin 1 is positive in voltage with respect to Pin 2. No current limiting exists in the oppo-
site polarity, and the TBU® protector appears as resistive in nature. The reverse current
should not exceed the maximum trip current level of the TBU® device. An external
diode may be used to prevent reverse current in DC biased applications.
The TBU® protector blocks surges and provides an effective barrier behind which sen-
sitive electronics will not be exposed to large voltages or currents during surge events.
After the surge, the TBU® device resets when the voltage across the TBU® device falls
to the Vreset level. The TBU® device will automatically reset on lines which have no DC
bias or have DC bias below Vreset (such as unpowered signal lines).
The TBU® device is provided in a surface mount DFN package and meets industry
standard requirements such as RoHS and Pb Free solder reflow profiles.
