Product details
Overview
DBLC24CI-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a bidirectional ultra-low-capacitance TVS diode designed for ESD protection of high-speed data lines, featuring 24 V reverse working voltage, 0.6 pF typical input capacitance, ±20 kV contact/±30 kV air ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2, and 6 A peak pulse current handling in an SOD323 package-used in USB 2.0 and 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DBLC24CI-7 datasheet, DBLC24CI-7 pinout, DBLC24CI-7 application, or DBLC24CI-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 6 A (58 V), low capacitance for signal integrity, thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and SOD323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel, bidirectional transient voltage suppressor optimized for electrostatic discharge suppression on unidirectional or bidirectional signal paths. Its silicon avalanche structure enables fast response (<1 ns) to ESD transients while maintaining sub-1 μA leakage at 24 V reverse bias.
The SOD323 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering with JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and its 0.6 pF capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion up to 3 GHz-critical for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet PHY interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage | 24 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS signal voltage before conduction begins. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 26.7 V min at 1 mA - Threshold where avalanche conduction initiates under transient stress. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 58 V max at 6 A, 8/20 µs - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge. |
| Input Capacitance (CIN) | 0.6 pF typ at 0 V, 1 MHz - Enables <0.1 dB insertion loss in 50 Ω USB/GigE traces. |
| ESD Rating | ±20 kV contact / ±30 kV air - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level immunity. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 350 W at 8/20 µs - Sustains multiple ESD events without degradation. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 500 °C/W - Requires minimal copper area for thermal management in FR-4 layouts. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | ESD current sink path (bidirectional) | Connected to protected line; conducts transient current to cathode during positive or negative ESD event. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | ESD current return path (bidirectional) | Typically tied to ground plane; completes low-inductance path for transient energy dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 0.6 pF input capacitance | Preserves signal edge rate and eye diagram integrity in 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1.25 Gbps Ethernet applications. |
| ±20 kV contact ESD rating | Exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, enabling robust front-panel and connector interface protection. |
| SOD323 footprint | Enables placement adjacent to connectors with minimal trace length, reducing parasitic inductance and improving clamping efficacy. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive "Green" standards (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb). |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interfaces | Ethernet PHY Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− data lines of USB 2.0 host/device ports against user-handling ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamp placed within 3 mm of USB connector, shunting transients before reaching transceiver IC. Use Value: Maintains 480 Mbps signaling integrity with <0.1 dB loss due to 0.6 pF capacitance and limits clamping voltage to ≤58 V at 6 A. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet magnetics secondary side or PHY pins from cable-discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One DBLC24CI-7 per differential pair (e.g., TX+/TX−), mounted directly at RJ-45 jack footprint. Use Value: Prevents PHY latch-up or damage while preserving signal rise/fall times via ultra-low capacitance and sub-1 ns response. |
| Wireless Module Antenna Ports | Industrial Sensor Interface Lines |
Use Scenario: ESD protection on RF front-end antenna switch control lines or low-speed GPIOs in handheld wireless systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp on antenna tuning or band-switch control signals exposed to user-accessible zones. Use Value: Survives repeated ±30 kV air discharge without parameter shift, verified over >1000 ESD strikes per IEC test protocol. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog or digital sensor outputs (e.g., I²C, SPI, RS-485) in factory-floor equipment from maintenance-tool ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-channel protection on sensor bus lines routed through metal enclosures or operator panels. Use Value: Delivers 24 V working voltage margin above common 3.3 V/5 V/12 V sensor supply rails and withstands industrial ambient temperatures up to +150 °C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.8 pF CIN, 15 V VRWM, 30 kV air ESD, SOT-553 package | Lower working voltage limits use to ≤15 V systems; larger 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint | Select when lower clamping voltage (25 V @ 1 A) is prioritized over bandwidth preservation. |
| SMA6J24A-Q | 24 V VRWM, 100 pF CIN, 600 W PPP, DO-214AC package | High capacitance restricts use to DC/low-frequency lines only; unsuitable for USB/Ethernet | Choose only for power-rail or low-speed control-line protection where capacitance is non-critical. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and SMA6J24A-Q, DBLC24CI-7 uniquely balances 24 V operating margin, 0.6 pF capacitance, and SOD323 size-making it optimal for high-speed data line protection where signal fidelity and board space are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DBLC24CI-7 at 6 A?
The maximum clamping voltage is 58 V under 8/20 µs waveform conditions at 6 A peak pulse current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS43658 Rev. 2–2. This value ensures downstream transceivers remain within safe operating voltage limits during worst-case ESD events.
Can DBLC24CI-7 be used for USB 3.0 or higher-speed interfaces?
No-DBLC24CI-7 is characterized for 0.6 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, and its frequency response degrades above ~1 GHz. It is validated for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1000BASE-T, but not for USB 3.x (5+ Gbps), PCIe, or HDMI, which require sub-0.3 pF devices with tighter capacitance tolerance.
Is DBLC24CI-7 qualified for automotive applications?
DBLC24CI-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-customers must contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives such as the D3V3Z1BQ series.
How does the SOD323 package affect thermal performance?
With RθJA = 500 °C/W on standard FR-4 (2 oz copper), the SOD323 limits continuous power dissipation to 250 mW. For transient ESD events, thermal mass is sufficient due to short pulse duration (<100 ns), but sustained overvoltage requires external current limiting or derating per Figure 4's TJ derating curve.
