Product details
Overview
RCLAMP01811PW.C from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS/ESD protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A (8/20μs) peak pulse current handling, and stable 27.5–28V clamping voltage across temperature and current range - deployed in USB Type-C PD input protection and industrial load switch inputs.
For engineers reviewing the RCLAMP01811PW.C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world USB PD and load switch protection use cases, and validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The RCLAMP01811PW.C 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 due to decreasing RDS(on), not fixed dynamic resistance.
It operates from −40°C to +125°C with <600nA reverse leakage at 22V, 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance measured between 1A and 40A (8/20μs), enabling robust protection without thermal derating penalties seen in standard TVS devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - matches nominal USB PD bus and industrial 24V rail systems without overvoltage stress. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave) - stays below 29V across full temp and current range, protecting 30V-tolerant controllers. |
| ESD Rating | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 requirements for handheld and connector-facing interfaces. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 industrial surge immunity for 1.2/50μs voltage waveform with 2Ω source impedance. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - low enough for DC power line protection; not suitable for high-speed data lines (e.g., USB SS). |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping response and minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm, 6-lead, Pb-free, RoHS/WEEE compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground connection; all three pins must be bonded to PCB ground plane via multiple vias to minimize inductance and maximize 40A surge current path. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input; all three pins connect in parallel to the same bus (e.g., VBUS in USB Type-C) to distribute surge current and reduce trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based transient shunting | Replaces traditional TVS diode with low-RDS(on) MOSFET triggered by precision circuit - eliminates linear VC = VBR + IPP×RDYN rise. |
| Temperature-stable clamping | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V from −40°C to +125°C at 40A - avoids thermal derating and ensures consistent protection in industrial environments. |
| High-energy surge capability | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) supports repeated lightning-surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation. |
| Low leakage & capacitance | ≤600nA IR at 22V and 175pF CJ enable low-power standby operation and minimal impact on DC bus regulation. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Input Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting VBUS line in USB Type-C receptacles supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation against ESD, lightning surges, and hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient diverting suppressor placed directly at connector, shunting EOS energy to ground before reaching PD controller or load switch. Use Value: Maintains clamping ≤28V across full temperature range - prevents damage to 30V-rated PD controllers where conventional TVS would exceed safe limits at elevated ambient temperatures. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters, robotics, and IoT gateways exposed to field-installed wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end EOS protector on VIN rail, limiting transient overvoltage to preserve internal FET integrity and prevent latch-up in downstream ICs. Use Value: 40A surge rating and stable clamping ensure compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 while eliminating need for oversized TVS or redundant protection stages. |
| 22V Industrial Power Rail Protection | USB-C Docking Station VBUS Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 22V nominal DC power rails in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor drives, and factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone EOS suppressor on main supply input, operating in parallel with bulk capacitors and upstream fuses. Use Value: 22V working voltage aligns precisely with 24V system tolerances; 1120W peak power rating sustains repeated 1kV/42Ω surges without parameter drift. |
Use Scenario: Protecting host-side VBUS lines in multi-port USB-C docking stations handling simultaneous PD negotiation and high-power charging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-port transient suppressor mounted adjacent to each Type-C connector, minimizing trace length to reduce inductive overshoot. Use Value: Compact 1.6×1.6mm DFN footprint allows placement at dense connector arrays; six-terminal layout ensures symmetric current sharing and low-inductance grounding. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P.C | Same die, identical electrical specs and DFN-6 package; RCLAMP01811PW.C is Semtech's rebranded marking variant for distribution channel - fully interchangeable. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB PD reference designs and industrial schematics. | Select RCLAMP01811PW.C for Aetrix inventory availability; TDS2211P.C for direct Semtech procurement or alternate sourcing. |
| uClamp2411ZA.TCT | 24V working voltage, ±30kV ESD, but lower 25A (8/20μs) rating and higher 32V clamping at 24A - less robust for 40A surge events. | Better suited for CC/SBU lines in USB-C; insufficient for VBUS-level surge protection requiring ≥40A rating. | Use only for auxiliary signal lines; not a drop-in replacement for RCLAMP01811PW.C on power rails. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical function) and uClamp2411ZA.TCT (lower surge rating, higher clamping), RCLAMP01811PW.C delivers guaranteed 40A/28V performance in the smallest DFN-6 footprint - making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, high-reliability 22V power line protection.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of RCLAMP01811PW.C?
RCLAMP01811PW.C uses a DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with 6 leads. Pin 1 is marked by a laser dot; pins 1–3 are GND, and pins 4–6 are IN. The land pattern requires symmetric copper pour and multiple vias to ground for optimal 40A surge performance - full mechanical drawings are provided in Semtech's official datasheet Rev 2.5.
How does RCLAMP01811PW.C differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
RCLAMP01811PW.C uses a triggered FET architecture instead of a pn-junction, resulting in near-constant clamping voltage (27.5–28V) from 1A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C. Standard TVS diodes exhibit linear VC = VBR + IPP×RDYN rise, causing clamping to increase >10V over the same range - a key advantage for protecting 30V-tolerant controllers in thermally demanding environments.
Can RCLAMP01811PW.C be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed?
No. RCLAMP01811PW.C has 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, which would severely degrade signal integrity on USB 3.x or PCIe lanes. It is intended exclusively for DC power lines (e.g., VBUS, load switch inputs). For high-speed data lines, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF) - a separate, low-capacitance device explicitly designed for those applications.
What is the maximum surge current rating and test condition for RCLAMP01811PW.C?
RCLAMP01811PW.C is rated for 40A peak pulse current under IEC 61000-4-5 conditions: 8/20μs current waveform combined with 1.2/50μs voltage waveform and 2Ω source impedance. This corresponds to 1120W peak pulse power and is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range without derating.
Is RCLAMP01811PW.C compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes. RCLAMP01811PW.C is RoHS/WEEE compliant, lead-free, and qualified for standard reflow profiles including JEDEC J-STD-020. Its DFN-6 package supports 0.4mm pitch stencil design, and the UL 94V-0 molding compound withstands multiple reflow cycles. Semtech provides recommended land patterns and PCB layout guidelines in the official datasheet to ensure reliable solder joint formation.
