SM712

DOWO · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · SOT-23

SM712 from DOWO, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 I/O1 passive RS-485 differential data line 1 input/output. Internally clamped to GND via 12V TVS (positive) and 7V TVS (negative) to protect against ESD, EFT and lightning surges. Working peak reverse voltage 12V.
2 I/O2 passive RS-485 differential data line 2 input/output. Internally clamped to GND via 12V TVS (positive) and 7V TVS (negative). Working peak reverse voltage 12V; clamping voltage 20V @ Ipp=5A, 26V @ Ipp=12A.
3 GND passive Ground reference. Common cathode/anode node for the internal TVS pairs; connect to system ground. 7V working reverse voltage from GND to either I/O pin (negative transient path).
