Product details
Overview
DF2B7PCT 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, 0.1 Ω typical dynamic resistance, 16 V clamping voltage at 27 A, and ultra-compact CST2 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) packaging - deployed in smartphone USB/USB-C, HDMI, and audio jack circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B7PCT datasheet, DF2B7PCT pinout, DF2B7PCT application, or DF2B7PCT equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage under high ESD stress, sub-1 pF total capacitance impact on high-speed signal integrity, snapback-triggered low dynamic resistance, and compatibility with 5.0 V logic rails in space-constrained portable electronics designs.
Technical Context
The DF2B7PCT employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered TVS behavior to achieve rapid turn-on and low clamping during ESD transients. Its bidirectional structure supports dual-pin I/O protection without polarity constraints, and its TLP-characterized dynamic resistance (0.1 Ω typ.) ensures minimal voltage overshoot during 8/20 µs surge events.
Designed specifically for IEC61000-4-2 compliance, the device operates within a 5.5 V VRWM limit and delivers guaranteed ±30 kV contact/air ESD immunity. The 45 pF typical total capacitance (measured at 0 V, 1 MHz) enables integration into 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1080p HDMI signal paths without measurable signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 100 nA; sets upper bound for 5.0 V rail protection. |
| VESD (IEC61000-4-2) | ±30 kV contact - Guarantees survival and functional integrity after worst-case human-body-model ESD strikes. |
| VC @ IPP = 27 A | 16 V (typ.) - Clamping voltage during full-rated 8/20 µs surge; limits downstream IC voltage stress below damage thresholds. |
| RDYN | 0.1 Ω (typ.) - Low dynamic resistance enables fast energy shunting and minimizes transient overshoot. |
| Ct | 45 pF (typ.) - Total capacitance at 0 V, 1 MHz; preserves signal rise time in USB 2.0 and audio interfaces. |
| Package | CST2 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) - Ultra-small footprint compatible with 0201-class PCB land patterns and high-density mobile layouts. |
Pinout & Package
The DF2B7PCT is housed in the CST2 surface-mount package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm, 0.7 mg typical weight), optimized for automated placement and reflow in compact mobile PCB assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Line Terminal (Anode/Cathode configurable) | Connect to protected signal line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); polarity determined by grounding Pin 2. |
| Pin 2 | GND Reference Terminal | Must be connected to system ground; establishes reference for bidirectional clamping and defines current path during ESD event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Snapback Protection | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic lines (e.g., USB differential pairs) without external biasing. |
| Low Clamping Voltage | 16 V max at 27 A pulse ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PHYs) remain below absolute maximum ratings during ESD. |
| Ultra-Low Dynamic Resistance | 0.1 Ω typical RDYN reduces voltage overshoot and improves energy dissipation efficiency during fast transients. |
| Sub-1 mm Footprint | CST2 package fits within 0201 land pattern constraints, supporting miniaturization in smartphones and wearables. |
Applications
| Smartphone USB Interface | HDMI Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+/D− lines from user-handling ESD in slim-profile smartphones.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Unidirectional; 5.5 V VRWM; 12 V VC @ 1 A; 15 pF Ct; SOT-5X3 package (1.6 × 1.6 mm) | Requires separate devices per signal line; higher capacitance mismatch for USB 2.0; larger footprint | Select when unidirectional protection suffices and board space permits larger package. |
| ESD5Z7.0T1G | Bidirectional; 7.0 V VRWM; 18 V VC @ 1 A; 85 pF Ct; SOD-523 package (1.3 × 0.9 mm) | Higher clamping voltage risks downstream IC stress; excessive capacitance degrades >100 Mbps signals | Acceptable only for low-speed GPIO or power-rail protection where speed and clamping margin are secondary. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z7.0T1G, the DF2B7PCT delivers superior high-speed interface protection via lower clamping voltage (16 V vs ≥18 V), lower capacitance (45 pF vs ≥15–85 pF), and smaller footprint (CST2 vs SOT-5X3/SOD-523), making it optimal for USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio applications demanding minimal signal distortion and strict ESD immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage the DF2B7PCT can protect?
The DF2B7PCT has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, meaning it is rated for continuous operation on signal lines up to this voltage. It is specifically intended for 5.0 V logic systems such as USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio interfaces. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause increased leakage or premature breakdown, so the DF2B7PCT must not be used on 12 V or higher rails without verification.
Does the DF2B7PCT require external biasing or direction configuration?
No - the DF2B7PCT is a bidirectional ESD protection diode with inherent snapback behavior, eliminating the need for external biasing or polarity selection. Its internal structure allows either pin to serve as the I/O terminal when the other is grounded, enabling flexible layout in differential or single-ended signal paths without redesigning the schematic for each use case. This behavior is intrinsic to the DF2B7PCT design.
How does the DF2B7PCT achieve low clamping voltage during ESD events?
The DF2B7PCT achieves a typical clamping voltage of 16 V at 27 A through its snapback-triggered silicon epitaxial planar structure, which transitions rapidly from high-impedance to low-impedance state upon ESD onset. Its 0.1 Ω typical dynamic resistance (RDYN) minimizes IR drop during surge conduction, directly contributing to low VC. This mechanism is verified per IEC61000-4-2 testing and is a defined characteristic of the DF2B7PCT.
Can the DF2B7PCT be used in USB 3.0 or PCIe Gen2+ interfaces?
No - the DF2B7PCT's 45 pF typical total capacitance exceeds the ≤1–2 pF requirement for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) and PCIe Gen2+ (5 GT/s) signal integrity. It is validated only for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), HDMI 1.4 (1080p), and audio interfaces. For higher-speed protocols, a lower-capacitance ESD solution is required; the DF2B7PCT is not suitable.
What is the thermal and mechanical reliability of the DF2B7PCT in reflow soldering?
The DF2B7PCT is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020), with a maximum junction temperature rating of 150 °C and storage range of −55 to +150 °C. Its CST2 package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) has been validated for automated placement and IPC-A-610-compliant solder joints. No special thermal relief or pad design is needed beyond standard SMT guidelines for the DF2B7PCT.
