# TPE1281MU

**TECH PUBLIC** · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · SOD-323

TPE1281MU from TECH PUBLIC, in a SOD-323. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IO | bidirectional | Bidirectional protected data or power line that clamps ESD and surge transients, with a 12 V maximum reverse working voltage and 13 V minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground return for the TVS diode, forming the clamping path to ground for protected transients. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `TPE1281MU`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SOD-323`
- 3D model: SOD-323 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `tpe1281mu-etched.step` / `tpe1281mu-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `tpe1281mu.step` / `tpe1281mu.glb` are the bare package body.
