The recommended Bourns® TBU® HSP solution offers enhanced performance features over competing technologies, which can help the design engineer to increase the surge & transient protection level on RS-485 ports and place the entire circuit protection solution into a smaller PCB area. Bourns has developed a RS-485 evaluation board (measuring 50 mm x 25 mm x 1.2 mm) manufactured using FR4 PCB with nickel gold plating on top and bottom sides.

The board allows different configurations: • 2 MOVs (MOV1 and MOV2) may be replaced by a) 2 single 2031 GDTs (GDT1 and GDT2) or b) a dual 2030 GDT (GDT3) • 1 TVS diode array (TVS3) may be replaced with a) 2 SMB TVS diodes (TVS1, TVS2) or b) 2 SOT23 TVS diodes (TVS3, TVS4) or c) 2 SOT23-5 thyristor devices (TISP1, TISP2) No. Part Number Qty.
