Hi Ken,

thank you for your inquire about Infineon ESD Protection products.

For high speed data lines of Thunderbolt (10Gb/s per lane) we suggest to use the ESD102-U4-05L, serving excellent ESD protection performance to keep the residual ESD stress for the IC I/Os as small as possible. The IL in the 50 Ohm environment of ~0.5dB @ 5GHz (fundamental frequency of TB 1.0) will not affect the Signal Integrity of the TB link.

Best regards,

Eliana
