Thyristors (SiBOD ™ Breakover Devices)
Crydom’s SiBOD Series Equals
“Crow Bar” Protection
To protect sensitive telecommunications
circuitry, Crydom Thyristors (SiBOD™
Breakover Devices) “crow bar” potential-
ly dangerous transients – switching them
to ground and dissipating the voltage to
zero. This approach can handle more
energy than TVS diode “clamping.”
FEATURES
• Glass passivated junction
• Bi-directional transient voltage
protection
• Nano second clamping response
• Surge capability up to 500 amps
• No performance degradation under
service life
BENEFITS
• One component cost for +ve
and -ve protection
• Excellent voltage protection levels
• Can be used for primary or secondary
protection
• No replacement required ie,
no maintenance cost
• Highest level of quality and reliability
• Low cost auto assembly
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Transfer molded, void free epoxy body
• Tin/Lead plated leads
• Maximum case temperature for solder-
ing purposes: 230°C for 10 seconds

The People Who Know
There’s too much riding on over-voltage
surge protection to take chances. That’s
why more and more people are turning
to Crydom.
Why?
To start with, we don’t just sell TVS compo-
nents – we’re the only company develop-
ing, designing and manufacturing all five
of the basic product families: Transient
Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes. SiBOD™
Thyristor Suppression Devices. Gas Discharge
Tubes (GDT). Hybrid Arrester Over-Voltage
Surge Protectors. Zeners/Studs. And the
only company employing all three voltage
protection technologies – gas tube, semi-
conductor and hybrid.
That means we're the only one who knows
them inside and out. What each type can
and can't do. Which type to use for differ-
ent applications. How to provide as much
or little technical support as you need.
How to work with you to develop special
devices should you require them. And
even assist you in formulating design
requirements and testing procedures to
meet both your specifications and inter-
national standards.
