Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

TVS BI

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE Bidirectional breakdown diode form

This reference locates bidirectional breakdown diode in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented semiconductor components family. A bidirectional breakdown diode provides a documented voltage-limiting semiconductor path in both polarities. Its working voltage and surge characteristics determine the protective application. The public library uses HDI1_S00647 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

Form evidence

Breakdown Diode, Bidirectional. Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Semiconductor Components, block HDI1_S00647. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier.

A distinction that matters

Bidirectional protection does not make the component a controllable power switch.
