Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5551 from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses, load switch inputs, and industrial I/O interfaces where stable clamping under temperature and current stress is critical.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5551 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world clamping behavior across temperature, and direct alternatives for 22V bus protection in USB PD, IoT, and industrial equipment design.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5551 uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant-27.5–28V-from 24A to 40A peak pulse current due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with stable 22V reverse stand-off voltage, <600nA leakage at VRWM, and 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz. Its DFN-6 package integrates three parallel input terminals (pins 4–6) and three ground terminals (pins 1–3) to minimize parasitic inductance and maximize surge current handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Stand-Off Voltage | 22 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before triggering; matches 20V USB PD bus with 10% margin. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs) - Limits downstream IC voltage stress during lightning surges without derating at high temperature. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements with single-device coverage. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Eliminates need for secondary ESD stages on protected lines. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - Enables flat clamping curve; reduces voltage overshoot vs. TVS diodes whose VC rises linearly with IPP. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22V/1MHz - Compatible with DC-coupled 22V power rails; not intended for high-speed data lines. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-6 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, UL 94V-0 molding compound. Thermal pad not required; energy dissipated in silicon FET.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Low-inductance ground return path; all three must be connected to PCB ground plane via multiple vias for full 40A rating. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel-connected input terminals for protected bus; single trace routing required to minimize impedance imbalance and ensure equal current sharing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5 V from 24A to 40A-enables predictable overvoltage margin without overspec'ing IPP. |
| Temperature-stable protection | Clamping remains 27.5–28 V from –40°C to +125°C-avoids thermal derating common in TVS diodes. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ ensures minimal IR drop during surge-critical for protecting low-voltage-tolerance load switches. |
| High-energy EOS handling | 1120 W peak pulse power (8/20μs)-absorbs multi-kV transients without degradation in industrial environments. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting VBUS lines in USB-C ports supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation against ESD, lightning, and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt device placed between connector and PD controller or e-fuse IC. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature-prevents PD controller latch-up or gate oxide damage even at 125°C ambient. |

Use Scenario: Protecting 22V backup supplies in NVMe SSDs and enterprise storage controllers against hot-plug transients and system-level surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode protector on non-switched VCC rail, active only during EOS events. Use Value: <600 nA leakage at 22V ensures negligible standby current drain-critical for long-term battery-backed retention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semtech TDS2211P.C | Identical electrical specs and DFN-6 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel) and date-code marking format. | No functional difference; suitable for production builds requiring standard distribution packaging. | Select JANTX1N5551 for military-grade screening per MIL-PRF-19500; choose TDS2211P.C for commercial volume procurement. |
| Littelfuse SP3022-01FTG | 22V stand-off, but uses silicon avalanche diode architecture-clamping rises to ~36V at 40A and increases with temperature. | Requires thermal derating above 85°C; less suitable for sealed industrial enclosures with high ambient. | Use only if board space allows larger SOD-323 package and design tolerates higher clamping voltage drift. |
Compared with JANTX1N5551, TDS2211P.C offers identical protection performance in commercial packaging, while SP3022-01FTG provides lower-cost TVS-based protection at the expense of clamping stability and temperature resilience-making JANTX1N5551 optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability 22V bus designs.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of JANTX1N5551?
JANTX1N5551 uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with exposed pad-less construction. Pins 1–3 are ground terminals; pins 4–6 are parallel-connected input terminals. The package complies with RoHS, halogen-free, and UL 94V-0 flammability standards-no thermal pad is required as energy is dissipated within the silicon FET structure of JANTX1N5551.
Does JANTX1N5551 meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements?
Yes, JANTX1N5551 is rated for 40A peak pulse current using the 8/20μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5, and supports ±1kV combination-wave testing (1.2/50μs voltage, 8/20μs current, RS = 42Ω). Its 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during Level 4 industrial surge events-validating JANTX1N5551 for use in harsh electromagnetic environments.
How does JANTX1N5551 differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
JANTX1N5551 employs a triggered FET architecture instead of a pn-junction diode, resulting in near-constant clamping voltage (27.5–28V) across its full 24–40A peak pulse range and from –40°C to +125°C. In contrast, standard TVS diodes exhibit linear VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN behavior-causing clamping to rise significantly with current and temperature. This fundamental difference makes JANTX1N5551 uniquely suited for thermally demanding 22V bus protection.
Can JANTX1N5551 be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed or PCIe?
No, JANTX1N5551 is not suitable for high-speed data lines. With 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, it would severely degrade signal integrity on differential pairs operating above ~100 Mbps. JANTX1N5551 is designed exclusively for DC-coupled power rails and low-frequency I/O lines-such as USB PD VBUS, load switch inputs, or 22V backup supplies-where bandwidth is not a constraint but clamping stability is essential.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for JANTX1N5551?
JANTX1N5551 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its clamping voltage, leakage current (<600 nA at 22V), and peak pulse current capability remain fully guaranteed across this full range-unlike conventional TVS devices whose performance degrades above 85°C. This extended thermal capability is intrinsic to the FET-based architecture of JANTX1N5551 and validated in Semtech's characterization data.
