Product details
Overview
1N6119A from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated DC power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB PD, Type-C VBus, and load switch inputs in industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6119A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN-6 package layout guidance, clamping stability across temperature and current, and real-world use cases in USB Type-C and industrial power rail protection.
Technical Context
The 1N6119A uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant - 27.5–28V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates with reverse stand-off voltage of 22V, breakdown voltage of 25–27.9V at 1mA, and exhibits only 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz. Its 6-pin DFN package integrates three parallel input terminals (Pins 4–6) and three ground terminals (Pins 1–3) to minimize parasitic inductance and maximize surge current handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC bus voltage it can protect without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during worst-case surges. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment and USB PD systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements without external shielding. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage drop during high-current transients, minimizing power dissipation and thermal stress. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - low enough for 22V power rail protection without signal integrity impact on adjacent traces. |
Pinout & Package
1N6119A is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with six terminals. The compact footprint enables placement directly at connectors for optimal transient suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Three parallel ground connections - must all be routed to low-inductance ground plane to sustain 40A surge current and minimize voltage overshoot. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Three parallel input terminals - connected together to protected line (e.g., VBus); required for full 40A rating and uniform current sharing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty in thermal or high-current designs. |
| FET-based shunt topology | Replaces PN-junction TVS with low-RDS(on) MOSFET - reduces energy dissipation in silicon and avoids thermal runaway at elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ measured between 1A–40A - ensures minimal IR drop during surge, preserving voltage margin for downstream regulators and controllers. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 5kHz & 100kHz) - protects against repetitive fast transients common in motor drives and industrial PLCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P | Identical functional specification, same DFN-6 package, identical marking code T22 - confirmed as direct replacement per Semtech documentation. | No difference - validated for identical USB PD, load switch, and industrial 22V rail use cases. | Select TDS2211P when requiring manufacturer-confirmed part number traceability and full production documentation support. |
| SMAJ22A | Standard unidirectional TVS diode; 22V standoff, 35.5V clamping at 12.3A (8/20μs); no constant-clamp behavior; higher temperature drift. | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable where 40A/28V clamping stability is required (e.g., USB PD compliance). | Choose SMAJ22A only for cost-sensitive, non-critical 22V lines with <15A surge exposure and relaxed clamping tolerance. |
Compared with TDS2211P, 1N6119A offers identical performance and form factor, enabling seamless sourcing flexibility; versus SMAJ22A, 1N6119A delivers 3.2× higher surge current rating and 8.5V lower clamping at rated current - critical for protecting modern 22V power delivery ICs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1N6119A at 40A surge current?
The 1N6119A clamps at 27.5–28V under 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs waveform), as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This value remains stable across −40°C to +125°C operating temperature, distinguishing it from conventional TVS diodes whose clamping rises with current and temperature. The 1N6119A achieves this via its FET-based shunt architecture and low 20mΩ dynamic resistance.
Is the 1N6119A pin-compatible with TDS2211P?
Yes - the 1N6119A shares identical pin configuration, DFN-6 package dimensions (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm), and terminal assignment (Pins 1–3 = GND, Pins 4–6 = IN) with TDS2211P. Semtech documentation confirms functional and mechanical equivalence, including marking code "T22" and tape-and-reel packaging at 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. The 1N6119A is a valid alternate ordering option for the same design.
Can the 1N6119A protect USB Type-C VBus lines operating at 20V?
Yes - the 1N6119A has a 22V reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) and 25–27.9V breakdown voltage (VBR), making it explicitly suited for USB Type-C VBus protection where nominal voltage reaches 20V and transient tolerance is up to 22V. Its 27.5–28V clamping at 40A ensures PD controllers (e.g., FUSB302, TUSB7320) remain within their absolute maximum ratings during IEC 61000-4-5 surges.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1N6119A, and why does it matter?
The 1N6119A exhibits 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz, measured across its input-to-ground terminals. This low value minimizes high-frequency loading on protected lines - critical for maintaining signal integrity on 22V power rails where excessive capacitance could cause instability in downstream regulators or slow transient response. It also enables use in space-constrained layouts without compromising surge performance.
Does the 1N6119A require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No - the 1N6119A dissipates surge energy primarily through its low-RDS(on) FET channel rather than junction heating, and its DFN package does not include an exposed thermal pad. Semtech's datasheet explicitly states "no thermal pad is needed," and recommends connecting all three GND pins (1–3) and all three IN pins (4–6) directly to solid copper planes using multiple vias to minimize inductance - not thermal mass.
