Product details
Overview
DF2B7AE,L3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for bidirectional I/O line protection in mobile device interfaces. It features a working peak reverse voltage of 5.5 V, ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, 0.2 Ω typical dynamic resistance, 11 V clamping voltage at 4 A, and ultra-compact ESC package (0.8 mm × 1.2 mm). It is deployed on smartphone USB, HDMI, and audio jack signal lines to suppress transient overvoltage.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B7AE,L3F datasheet, DF2B7AE,L3F pinout, DF2B7AE,L3F application, or DF2B7AE,L3F equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage under 4 A pulse, sub-10 pF capacitance for high-speed interface integrity, snapback-triggered low dynamic resistance, and ESC footprint compatibility with dense PCB layouts in portable electronics.
Technical Context
The DF2B7AE,L3F employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered clamping behavior, enabling fast response to ESD transients while maintaining low dynamic resistance (0.2 Ω typ.) across its operating range. Its bidirectional structure supports protection of both positive and negative polarity surges without external biasing.
It operates within a 5.5 V working peak reverse voltage limit and delivers 11 V clamping at 4 A IPP, meeting IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact) and IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements. Total capacitance is 8.5 pF typ. at 0 V, ensuring minimal signal distortion on 5 V high-speed data lines.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DF2B7AE,L3F is housed in Toshiba's ESC (Extremely Small Chip) package: 2-terminal surface-mount device with no polarity marking; Pin 1 and Pin 2 are symmetrical and interchangeable for bidirectional protection. GND connection is made via either pin depending on I/O routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Protection Terminal | Connected to protected signal line (e.g., USB D+); clamps transients to GND when used with Pin 2 grounded. |
| Pin 2 | GND Reference Terminal | Connected to system ground plane; completes ESD current path during snapback conduction event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered clamping | Enables sub-11 V clamping at 4 A with stable low-RDYN, reducing stress on sensitive SoCs and PMICs. |
| Bidirectional ESD protection | Supports ±30 kV contact discharge without external bias or polarity configuration-ideal for unidirectional or bidirectional data lines. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 8.5 pF typ. minimizes insertion loss and phase distortion on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 2.25 Gbps HDMI signals. |
| ESC package integration | 0.8 mm × 1.2 mm footprint allows placement directly adjacent to connectors, shortening transient path and improving protection efficacy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.9 pF typ. capacitance, 12 V clamping @ 4 A, SOT-5X3 package (1.0 mm × 1.45 mm) | Lower capacitance suits USB 3.0/PCIe; larger footprint may limit layout flexibility in ultra-thin designs. | Select when sub-1 pF loading is mandatory and board space permits slightly larger package. |
| ESD9B5.0ST5G | 5.0 V VRWM, 15 V clamping @ 4 A, SOD-523 package (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm) | Higher clamping voltage increases risk to 5 V tolerant receivers; same footprint orientation but different pin assignment. | Choose only if VRWM margin must be tighter than 5.5 V and system can tolerate higher VC. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD9B5.0ST5G, the DF2B7AE,L3F offers optimal balance of 8.5 pF capacitance, 11 V clamping, and 0.8 mm × 1.2 mm ESC footprint-making it preferred for space-constrained 5 V mobile interfaces where signal integrity and surge suppression must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the DF2B7AE,L3F?
The DF2B7AE,L3F has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, meaning it is rated for continuous operation on 5 V signal lines without leakage or conduction. This makes DF2B7AE,L3F suitable for USB, HDMI, and other standard 5 V interface applications where reliable standoff is required between normal operation and ESD clamping thresholds.
Does the DF2B7AE,L3F require external biasing or polarity configuration?
No, the DF2B7AE,L3F is a bidirectional ESD protection diode with symmetrical pin structure-Pin 1 and Pin 2 are functionally identical. Either pin connects to the protected I/O line, while the other connects to GND; no external bias or polarity selection is needed. This simplifies layout and eliminates configuration errors in DF2B7AE,L3F implementations.
What is the clamping voltage of the DF2B7AE,L3F under a 4 A ESD pulse?
The DF2B7AE,L3F delivers a typical clamping voltage (VC) of 11 V at 4 A peak pulse current (IPP), per IEC61000-4-2 test conditions. This value ensures downstream ICs-such as USB transceivers or audio codecs-are exposed to less than 11 V during worst-case ESD events, significantly reducing risk of functional interruption or permanent damage in DF2B7AE,L3F-protected systems.
How does the dynamic resistance of the DF2B7AE,L3F affect ESD protection performance?
The DF2B7AE,L3F exhibits 0.2 Ω typical dynamic resistance (RDYN), which enables rapid dissipation of ESD energy into ground with minimal voltage overshoot. This low RDYN directly contributes to tighter clamping and faster response-critical for protecting modern low-voltage, high-speed ICs where even brief overvoltage can cause latch-up or data corruption in DF2B7AE,L3F-deployed circuits.
Is the DF2B7AE,L3F compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the DF2B7AE,L3F uses Toshiba's ESC package (0.8 mm × 1.2 mm), which is fully compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles and pick-and-place equipment. Its 1.4 mg typical weight and defined land pattern ensure reliable placement yield and solder joint integrity-making DF2B7AE,L3F suitable for high-volume manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronics.
