Hi all. I'm selecting bidirectional TVS diodes for protecting RS-485
transceiver input lines. Any suggestion of a particular part number?
TIA

Why bidirectional? What are you trying to protect against? How many
transceivers? How much space? Cost target?

Is bidirectional the same as bipolar?
Yes, basically a nose-to-nose zener vs. a single zener.
What are you trying to protect against?

I know nothing about TVS diodes.
Think of them as zeners.

You're already on google. Why not just google TVS diodes?
Good Luck!

digikey.com beats google.com, hands down.
