Product details
Overview
DF2S6P2CTC from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for signal-line transient suppression in mobile device interfaces. It features a working peak reverse voltage of 5.5 V, ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, 0.08 Ω typical dynamic resistance, 18 V clamping voltage at 80 A peak pulse current, and ultra-compact CST2C (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) packaging - enabling robust protection in space-constrained smartphone and tablet USB/USB-C, HDMI, and audio jack circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DF2S6P2CTC datasheet, DF2S6P2CTC pinout, DF2S6P2CTC application, or DF2S6P2CTC equivalent, key selection criteria include its snapback-triggered low-clamp behavior, 600 pF total capacitance at 0 V, compatibility with 5.0 V signal rails, and suitability for high-density PCB layouts where ESD immunity and minimal signal distortion are critical.
Technical Context
The DF2S6P2CTC employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure with snapback characteristics to achieve low clamping voltage (18 V typ. @ 80 A) while maintaining high ESD robustness (±30 kV contact). Its dynamic resistance of 0.08 Ω (typ.) ensures rapid energy shunting during transients, minimizing voltage overshoot on protected lines.
Designed specifically for IEC61000-4-2 ESD and IEC61000-4-5 surge (8/20 µs) compliance, it operates within a 5.5 V working peak reverse voltage range and delivers 1900 W peak pulse power handling - targeting interface protection where low capacitance (600 pF) and fast response are required without compromising signal integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.5 V maximum - defines safe operating reverse bias for 5.0 V signal lines without leakage-induced logic errors |
| VESD (IEC61000-4-2) | ±30 kV contact - exceeds industrial ESD immunity requirements for handheld device ports |
| VC @ IPP = 80 A | 18 V typical - clamps transient voltage below IC damage thresholds during lightning-induced surges |
| RDYN | 0.08 Ω typical - enables fast, low-loss current diversion to ground during nanosecond-scale ESD events |
| Ct @ 0 V | 600 pF - balances ESD protection strength with minimal signal attenuation on high-speed interfaces |
| Package | CST2C (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) - supports fine-pitch routing and high-density placement in smartphones and tablets |
Pinout & Package
The DF2S6P2CTC is housed in the ultra-compact CST2C surface-mount package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm, 1.5 mg typical weight), optimized for mobile PCB real estate constraints. Pin 1 is Cathode; Pin 2 is Anode - configured as a bidirectional TVS diode for symmetric ESD protection across differential or single-ended lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Protected line connection (cathode side) | Connected to signal line being protected; forms snapback conduction path to ground during overvoltage |
| 2 (Anode) | Ground reference terminal | Provides low-impedance return path to system ground; must be routed with minimal inductance for effective clamping |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail ESD protector (anode-cathode pair) integrated into jack PCB footprint, shunting discharge to chassis ground. Use Value: Eliminates pop/click artifacts and codec latch-up using 5.5 V VRWM alignment with audio bias rails and 0.08 Ω RDYN for sub-1 ns response. |
Use Scenario: Securing 6-pin SIM card slot contacts (VCC, I/O, CLK, RST, GND) against ESD during user-insertion in LTE-enabled smartphones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete bidirectional TVS per signal line, placed within 2 mm of SIM connector to minimize trace inductance. Use Value: Ensures SIM detection reliability and prevents eSIM controller reset via ±30 kV immunity and 18 V clamping below IC absolute max ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR (Texas Instruments) | Lower capacitance (12 pF), lower ESD rating (±8 kV contact), 5.5 V VRWM, SOT-553 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm) | Better suited for high-speed USB 3.0/PCIe; insufficient for ±30 kV environments like consumer handhelds | Select when ultra-low capacitance outweighs ESD robustness; not drop-in due to larger footprint and lower surge capability |
| ESD9X5.0ST5G (ON Semiconductor) | Same 5.5 V VRWM, ±30 kV ESD, but higher clamping (24 V @ 80 A), 0.12 Ω RDYN, SOD-923 package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) | Smaller footprint but higher VC compromises protection margin for 5 V tolerant ICs | Choose for space-constrained designs accepting higher clamping; verify downstream IC VIO derating with 24 V VC |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD9X5.0ST5G, the DF2S6P2CTC uniquely balances ±30 kV ESD immunity, 18 V clamping, and 600 pF capacitance in the CST2C footprint - making it optimal for mid-speed 5 V interfaces in smartphones and tablets where both robustness and signal fidelity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) specification for DF2S6P2CTC?
The DF2S6P2CTC has a maximum working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, meaning it can safely block up to 5.5 V in reverse bias during normal operation without significant leakage current - making it compatible with standard 5.0 V signal rails in smartphones and tablets. This value is confirmed in Toshiba's official datasheet Rev.3.0 under "Electrical Characteristics" and is critical for ensuring no false triggering during nominal voltage conditions. The DF2S6P2CTC maintains low IR (<0.1 µA) at this VRWM level.
Does DF2S6P2CTC meet IEC61000-4-2 ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the DF2S6P2CTC is rated for ±30 kV electrostatic discharge immunity per IEC61000-4-2 (contact discharge), as verified in Toshiba's datasheet Section 6 and Absolute Maximum Ratings Table. This exceeds Level 4 requirements and ensures reliable protection for handheld consumer devices subjected to repeated human-body ESD events. The DF2S6P2CTC achieves this with snapback-triggered conduction and low dynamic resistance (0.08 Ω), not just passive clamping.
What is the clamping voltage (VC) of DF2S6P2CTC at 80 A peak pulse current?
The DF2S6P2CTC exhibits a typical clamping voltage (VC) of 18 V at 80 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured under IEC61000-4-5 8/20 µs surge conditions. This value is specified in Toshiba's datasheet Section 6.3 and Electrical Characteristics Table. The DF2S6P2CTC achieves this low VC through snapback characteristics and low dynamic resistance, protecting downstream 5 V-tolerant ICs from overvoltage stress during indirect lightning or power-rail transients.
What package type does DF2S6P2CTC use, and what are its dimensions?
The DF2S6P2CTC uses the CST2C package - an ultra-compact surface-mount case measuring 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm with a typical weight of 1.5 mg. This package is explicitly named in Toshiba's datasheet Section "Package Dimensions" and "Packaging", and its land pattern is provided in Figure 12. The DF2S6P2CTC's CST2C footprint enables high-density placement near connectors in space-constrained mobile PCBs, outperforming larger alternatives like SOD-323 or SOT-553 in area efficiency.
How does the dynamic resistance (RDYN) of DF2S6P2CTC affect its ESD protection performance?
The DF2S6P2CTC has a typical dynamic resistance (RDYN) of 0.08 Ω, measured using TLP with least-squares fitting between 16 A and 30 A (per datasheet Note 2). This ultra-low RDYN enables rapid, low-loss current shunting during ESD events - minimizing voltage overshoot and reducing thermal stress on the diode itself. As a result, the DF2S6P2CTC sustains repeated ±30 kV discharges without degradation, unlike higher-RDYN alternatives that exhibit higher clamping or premature failure.
