Product details
Overview
DBLC05CI-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional ultra-low-capacitance TVS diode in SOD323 package, designed for ESD protection of high-speed data lines. It delivers 6 V minimum breakdown voltage, 0.6 pF typical junction capacitance, ±27 kV contact/±30 kV air ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, and clamps to 20.6 V at 17 A peak pulse current-used in USB 2.0 and 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DBLC05CI-7 datasheet, DBLC05CI-7 pinout, DBLC05CI-7 application, or DBLC05CI-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, package dimensions, real-world ESD clamping behavior, thermal derating curves, and validated alternatives for high-speed signal line protection where sub-1 pF capacitance and fast response are critical.
Technical Context
The DBLC05CI-7 functions as a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor optimized for electrostatic discharge suppression on single-ended data lines. Its silicon avalanche structure triggers at ≥6 V reverse breakdown and clamps transients to ≤20.6 V under 17 A 8/20 μs pulses, with <4.5 μA leakage at 5 V VRWM.
Its 0.6 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz enables minimal signal distortion in USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet PHY interfaces. The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C and is rated for 350 W peak pulse power per IEC 61000-4-2 waveform compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6 V min at 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering above 5 V data line operating voltage without false conduction |
| Junction Capacitance (CT) | 0.6 pF typ at 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in USB 2.0 and 1000BASE-T applications |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 20.6 V max at 17 A, 8/20 μs - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream PHY ICs |
| ESD Rating | ±27 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - meets industrial and consumer end-equipment immunity requirements |
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 5 V - matches standard USB and Ethernet PHY supply rails, preventing DC leakage during normal operation |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPP) | 350 W at 8/20 μs - sustains high-energy ESD events without degradation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - surface-mount plastic package with 2-terminal configuration, 0.004 g mass, UL 94V-0 rating, and matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe. Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Transient current sink (during positive ESD event) | Connects to protected data line; conducts when voltage exceeds VBR in either polarity |
| Cathode (K) | Transient current sink (during negative ESD event) | Connected to ground reference; completes low-impedance path for bidirectional clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | Unidirectional, 5.0 V VRWM, 600 W PPP, 35 pF CT | Requires external polarity management; unsuitable for AC-coupled or differential lines | Select only if protecting DC-biased lines with strict cost constraints and no high-speed requirement |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Bidirectional, 5.5 V VRWM, 0.9 pF CT, ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 | Lower ESD rating; intended for portable electronics, not industrial-grade surge environments | Prefer for space-constrained consumer devices where ±8 kV suffices and 0.9 pF is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, DBLC05CI-7 uniquely combines bidirectionality, 0.6 pF capacitance, and ±30 kV air ESD rating-making it optimal for robust, high-speed industrial and networking interfaces where signal fidelity and extreme ESD immunity are both required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DBLC05CI-7 at 17 A?
The DBLC05CI-7 clamps to a maximum of 20.6 V at 17 A peak pulse current under an 8/20 μs waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS43653 Rev. 3-2. This value is measured with defined test conditions and reflects worst-case transient suppression performance at rated pulse current.
Can DBLC05CI-7 be used on differential pairs like USB D+/D– without signal degradation?
Yes. With 0.6 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, DBLC05CI-7 introduces negligible imbalance or insertion loss on USB 2.0 differential pairs. Its bidirectional symmetry ensures matched clamping behavior on both lines, preserving common-mode rejection and eye diagram integrity at 480 Mbps.
Is DBLC05CI-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. DBLC05CI-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to this part. Use only in commercial or industrial environments unless separately qualified.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of DBLC05CI-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) is 500 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper per Diodes' recommended pad layout. This value assumes the footprint and copper area specified in Diodes' SOD323 package outline documentation.
