SiBar Thyristor
SiBar Thyristor Surge Protectors
Raychem Circuit Protection’s
SiBar thyristor surge protection
devices are designed to help pro-
tect sensitive telecommunication
equipment from the hazards
caused by lightning, power con-
tact, and power induction. These
devices have a high electrical
surge capability to help protect
against transient faults and a high
off-state impedance, rendering
them virtually transparent during
normal system operation.
SiBar thyristor surge protectors
are designed to assist telecom-
munication and computer tele-
phony equipment in meeting the
applicable requirements and
industry specifications.

Selection Guide for SiBar Thyristor Surge Protectors
Step 1.
Determine the circuit’s operating parameters.
Fill in the following information about the circuit:
Maximum ambient operating temperature ______________________
Maximum DC supply voltage (V
DC
Max.
.
) ________________________
Maximum ringing (AC) voltage (V
AC
Max.) ______________________
System voltage damage threshold
Maximum fault current and duration
Maximum system operating current
Applicable industry requirements
__________________________
__________________________
__________________________
__________________________
Step 2.
Calculate the maximum operating voltage of your system.
Maximum operating voltage = V
DC
Max. + (1.414 x V
AC
Max.)
Refer to Table V1 to select a SiBar thyristor device with a maximum off-
state voltage (V
DM
) rating that is close to, but greater than, the maxi-
mum operating voltage of your system.
Step 3.
Verify that the system voltage damage threshold is
greater than the rated maximum breakover voltage (V
BO
).
Refer to Table V1 to confirm that the maximum breakover voltage of the
device you selected in Step 2 is less than the system voltage damage
threshold.

Step 4.
Verify that the maximum fault current of the system and
its duration or the fault current defined in the industry
specification(s) are less than the surge current rating of
the device selected. For help in determining which indus-
try specifications may apply, refer to the Protection
Application Guide on the next page.
Refer to Table V2 for SiBar thyristor surge current ratings applicable to
TIA 968-A (FCC Part 68), Telcordia GR-1089, ITU K.20, K.21, K.45
industry specifications.
Step 5.
Verify that the maximum system operating current is less
than the minimum hold current rating (I
H
) in Table V1 for
the device selected.
Using Figure V4, verify that I
H
is greater than the maximum system
operating current over the entire ambient operating temperature range.
(As with I
H
, V
DM
and V
BO
also vary with ambient temperature, to a lesser
degree. Figures V2 and V3 can be used to determine that the device
selected continues to meet your requirements over the ambient operat-
ing temperature range.)
Step 6.
Verify that the dimensions in Table V4 for the SiBar
thyristor device are compatible witht the application’s
space requirements.
