Product details
Overview
DF2B18FU,H3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an AEC-Q101-qualified ESD protection diode in a USC (Ultra Small Chip) package, designed for bidirectional transient suppression with 16.2 V working peak reverse voltage, ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, and 9 V clamp voltage at 1 A. It protects high-speed data lines in automotive infotainment interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B18FU,H3F datasheet, DF2B18FU,H3F pinout, DF2B18FU,H3F application, or DF2B18FU,H3F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 pF capacitance for USB 2.0 signal integrity, low 0.8 Ω dynamic resistance for fast clamping response, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon epitaxial planar dual-diode structure configured in a common-cathode arrangement for bidirectional ESD protection. Its electrical behavior is defined by IEC61000-4-2 and ISO10605 test waveforms, with clamping performance validated using 8/20 µs IEC61000-4-5 pulses.
The DF2B18FU,H3F operates within a -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and delivers 80 W peak pulse power handling. Its 23 V typical reverse breakdown voltage ensures robust margin above the 16.2 V VRWM, while the 10 pF total capacitance supports high-frequency signal paths without distortion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 16.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 µA; sets operating ceiling for protected line. |
| VBR (typ) | 19 V - Reverse breakdown occurs at this voltage with 1 mA test current; defines turn-on threshold for ESD events. |
| VC @ 1 A | 9 V - Clamped voltage during 1 A transient; limits stress on downstream ICs like USB transceivers. |
| Capacitance | 10 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Enables use on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs without signal degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV (IEC61000-4-2 contact) - Withstands direct human-body model discharges common in assembly and service environments. |
| Dynamic R | 0.8 Ω - Low impedance during clamping ensures rapid energy diversion and minimal voltage overshoot. |
| Package | USC (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.35 mm) - Ultra-compact footprint compatible with fine-pitch PCB layouts and automated SMT placement. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.5 pF lower capacitance (9.5 pF), same 16 V VRWM, but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable for consumer USB ports; lacks automotive qualification and higher ESD rating (±8 kV vs ±30 kV). | Select when ultra-low capacitance is critical and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | Lower VRWM (3.3 V), higher capacitance (30 pF), AEC-Q101 qualified, ±25 kV ESD rating. | Targeted for low-voltage logic lines (e.g., GPIO, reset), not 12–16 V signal rails. | Choose only for sub-5 V applications where tighter clamping voltage is required over bandwidth preservation. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, the DF2B18FU,H3F uniquely balances automotive qualification, ±30 kV ESD immunity, and 10 pF capacitance-making it optimal for 12–16 V high-speed data lines where both reliability and signal fidelity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by DF2B18FU,H3F?
The DF2B18FU,H3F has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 16.2 V, meaning it can continuously block up to this DC or peak AC voltage without significant leakage. This value is guaranteed minimum per specification, with typical operation up to 12 V recommended for margin. Exceeding VRWM risks increased reverse current and potential thermal runaway under sustained bias.
Is DF2B18FU,H3F suitable for USB 2.0 data line protection?
Yes, DF2B18FU,H3F is explicitly suited for USB 2.0 protection due to its 10 pF total capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, which preserves signal integrity at 480 Mbps without measurable eye diagram degradation. Its 9 V clamping voltage at 1 A and bidirectional architecture ensure reliable suppression of ESD events on D+ and D− lines.
Does DF2B18FU,H3F require external biasing or control circuitry?
No, DF2B18FU,H3F is a passive, unidirectional dual-diode ESD suppressor with common-cathode configuration. It requires no external power, bias, or control signals. It operates automatically during overvoltage transients by forward-conducting when voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold, returning to high-impedance state once the event subsides.
What is the thermal performance limit of DF2B18FU,H3F during repeated ESD events?
The DF2B18FU,H3F has a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and is rated for 80 W peak pulse power. However, repetitive ESD events must be spaced to allow thermal dissipation; the 4.5 mg package mass and low thermal resistance enable recovery within microseconds, but sustained bursts exceeding 10 Hz may cause cumulative heating and reliability degradation.
How does DF2B18FU,H3F differ from standard Zener diodes used for ESD protection?
Unlike general-purpose Zener diodes, DF2B18FU,H3F is optimized for ESD with tightly controlled dynamic resistance (0.8 Ω), low capacitance (10 pF), and guaranteed IEC61000-4-2/ISO10605 performance. Standard Zeners exhibit higher capacitance, slower response, and inconsistent clamping behavior under nanosecond transients-making DF2B18FU,H3F superior for high-speed interface protection.
