Product details
Overview
DF3A6.2FUTE85LF from Toshiba is an ultra-compact dual-channel ESD protection diode array designed for high-speed data lines, featuring 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage, ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge immunity, and 55 pF terminal capacitance at 1 MHz-used in USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio jack interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DF3A6.2FUTE85LF datasheet, DF3A6.2FUTE85LF pinout, DF3A6.2FUTE85LF application, or DF3A6.2FUTE85LF equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage under ESD stress, minimal signal distortion due to low capacitance, dual-diode integration for space-constrained PCBs, and guaranteed reliability up to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent Zener-type ESD protection elements in a single SOT-323 (SC-70) package, each with cathode-anode configuration optimized for bidirectional transient suppression. It operates exclusively as a transient voltage suppressor-not as a voltage regulator-with no DC biasing requirement beyond normal signal line operation.
The design targets fast-rising ESD events per IEC61000-4-2, delivering sub-nanosecond response time and clamping below 12 V at 30 A TLP pulse. Its 55 pF capacitance ensures compatibility with 480 Mbps USB 2.0 signaling without measurable eye diagram degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage | 6.2 V (nominal), ±0.4 V tolerance at 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for protected signal lines |
| ESD immunity | ±30 kV contact discharge (IEC61000-4-2) - exceeds industrial and consumer immunity requirements |
| Terminal capacitance | 55 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - enables use on high-speed interfaces up to USB 2.0 full-speed |
| Power dissipation | 100 mW - supports continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 85°C with derating |
| Junction temperature | 125°C max - sets thermal design limit for board-level power dissipation and layout |
| Reverse leakage | ≤1.0 μA at VR = 3 V - ensures negligible DC loading on analog or digital signal paths |
Pinout & Package
DF3A6.2FUTE85LF uses the SOT-323 (SC-70) 3-pin package with dual-cathode configuration: Pin 1 = Cathode 1, Pin 2 = Anode (common), Pin 3 = Cathode 2. The compact 2.2 × 2.2 × 0.9 mm footprint supports high-density routing on portable electronics PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode of Channel 1 | Connected to protected signal line 1; clamps positive transients to ground via common anode |
| Pin 2 | Common Anode | Typically tied to system ground; serves as shared return path for both ESD channels |
| Pin 3 | Cathode of Channel 2 | Connected to protected signal line 2; clamps positive transients symmetrically with Channel 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel ESD protection | Two independent 6.2 V Zener diodes in one SC-70 package - reduces component count and PCB area by 50% vs. discrete solutions |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 55 pF typical between cathode and anode - preserves signal integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and stereo audio lines |
| High ESD robustness | ±30 kV contact discharge rating - exceeds IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 by 2×, enabling single-stage protection in cost-sensitive designs |
| Low leakage current | ≤1.0 μA at 3 V reverse bias - prevents DC offset or loading on sensitive analog inputs like microphone bias rails |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI DDC/CEC Lines |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting differential D+ and D− signals in portable USB peripherals against user-handling ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed immediately before the USB transceiver IC input pins.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive shunt protector on low-bandwidth voltage outputs, rated for 125°C ambient operation. Use Value: Maintains calibration stability and avoids field returns caused by ESD-induced DAC register corruption or op-amp latch-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4202MR6T1G | Single-channel, 5.6 V Zener, 30 pF capacitance, SOT-563 package | Lower capacitance but requires two devices for dual-line protection; higher assembly cost | Preferred when minimizing signal distortion on >1 Gbps interfaces is critical and board area allows dual placement |
| Vishay ESDE0402-060-0R50-0101 | 0402-size monolithic dual-diode, 6.0 V, 15 pF, 12 kV IEC61000-4-2 | Lower ESD rating and smaller package limit thermal handling; not suitable for 30 kV environments | Selected for ultra-thin wearables where height <0.5 mm is mandatory and ESD threat level is ≤15 kV |
Compared with NUP4202MR6T1G and ESDE0402-060-0R50-0101, DF3A6.2FUTE85LF delivers balanced performance: highest ESD immunity (±30 kV), moderate capacitance (55 pF), and integrated dual-channel topology-making it optimal for mid-tier consumer electronics where reliability, size, and cost must coexist.

FAQ
What is the primary function of DF3A6.2FUTE85LF in circuit design?
DF3A6.2FUTE85LF functions exclusively as a bidirectional ESD protection device for two signal lines. It is not a voltage regulator or general-purpose Zener diode. Its role is to clamp transient voltages above ~6.2 V during electrostatic discharge events, diverting current safely to ground while maintaining low capacitance to avoid signal distortion on high-speed lines such as USB 2.0 or HDMI DDC.
Does DF3A6.2FUTE85LF support unidirectional or bidirectional ESD protection?
DF3A6.2FUTE85LF provides bidirectional ESD protection. Each channel consists of a Zener diode configured between cathode and common anode, allowing clamping of both positive and negative transients relative to ground. This architecture meets IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge requirements of ±30 kV without external polarity constraints.
What is the maximum operating temperature for DF3A6.2FUTE85LF?
The maximum junction temperature for DF3A6.2FUTE85LF is 125°C, and its storage temperature range extends from −55°C to +125°C. When used in applications with sustained ambient temperatures above 85°C, thermal derating per Toshiba's Reliability Handbook must be applied to ensure long-term reliability and prevent accelerated parametric shift.
Can DF3A6.2FUTE85LF be used as a voltage reference or constant-voltage diode?
No. DF3A6.2FUTE85LF is explicitly designated by Toshiba for ESD protection only and is not characterized or warranted for constant-voltage regulation. Its Zener voltage specification (5.8–6.6 V at 5 mA) applies solely under transient clamping conditions-not steady-state DC operation-and its dynamic impedance and leakage behavior are not optimized for reference accuracy or stability.
Is DF3A6.2FUTE85LF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. DF3A6.2FUTE85LF complies with the EU RoHS Directive and is manufactured as a lead-free device. Toshiba confirms halogen-free construction and full compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 specifications. Full environmental documentation is available upon request from authorized Toshiba distributors.
