Additional Details:

The TISP61521D-S typically has a breakover voltage around 21V. For specific design requirements, it is crucial to consult the datasheet. This thyristor acts as a voltage-triggered switch, rapidly transitioning to a low-impedance state when the voltage exceeds the breakover voltage. This diverts the surge current away from the protected circuitry. The device's holding current and on-state voltage are important parameters to consider during circuit design to ensure proper operation and reset after the surge has subsided. The surface mount package allows for efficient assembly and minimal board space usage.
