Product details
Overview
S2KW24C-6D 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), and stable 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current range - deployed in USB Type-C PD, load switch input protection, and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the S2KW24C-6D datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, functional role in surge shunting, and real-world alternatives validated for 22V bus protection with constant-clamp behavior.
Technical Context
The S2KW24C-6D uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by an integrated precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to ultra-low dynamic resistance (20 mΩ) and decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C, maintains ≤600 nA reverse leakage at 22V, and delivers 1120W peak pulse power. Its 175 pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz supports moderate-speed data/power line protection without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22 V - matches nominal USB PD bus and industrial 24V rail systems without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs) - stays flat across temperature and current, enabling predictable downstream IC survivability. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial and USB PD applications. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and consumer interface ESD requirements. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - ensures minimal voltage rise during surge conduction, critical for low-voltage margin systems. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22V/1MHz - suitable for DC power rails and medium-speed control lines; not for >100MHz data paths. |
| Package | DFN 1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm, 6-lead - enables compact placement near connectors with minimal PCB area. |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return for surge current; all three pins must be connected to maximize current handling and minimize inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS, load switch input); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and optimal clamping performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies <0.5 V from 24A to 40A surge - eliminates design margin uncertainty vs. TVS diodes. |
| FET-based shunt protection | Surge energy diverted through low-RDS(on) MOSFET instead of PN-junction - avoids thermal runaway at high temperature. |
| Wide operating temperature | Stable performance from –40°C to +125°C - validated for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ measured between 1A–40A - minimizes IR drop during surge, preserving voltage margin for protected ICs. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4 kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50 ns, 5 kHz & 100 kHz) - protects against repetitive fast transients in motor drives and PLCs. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting VBUS lines in USB-C ports supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation, exposed to ESD and lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt protector placed between connector and PD controller or load switch input. Use Value: Maintains clamping at ≤28 V across full temperature range - prevents damage to 30V-max PD controllers even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding enable and input pins of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor absorbing 40A surges before they reach the switch's internal FET gate or drain. Use Value: Keeps clamped voltage below 30V - avoids gate oxide rupture or drain-source avalanche in 30V-rated load switches. |
| Industrial 24V Rail Protection | IoT Device Power Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 24V DC input rails in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), HMIs, and factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone EOS suppressor on main power entry point, upstream of DC-DC converters and LDOs. Use Value: Delivers 1120W peak pulse power handling - satisfies IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (±1 kV, 42 Ω source) without derating. |
Use Scenario: Hardening battery-charged or PoE-powered IoT edge nodes (e.g., smart sensors, gateways) against field ESD and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, low-leakage protector on main power input, co-located with connector for shortest possible trace length. Use Value: 130–600 nA leakage at 22V enables multi-year battery life in always-on devices without compromising surge robustness. |
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 | Identical electrical specs, same DFN-6 package, identical marking code T22 - direct Semtech replacement with same date-code format. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB-C and industrial designs per Semtech documentation. | Select when sourcing from authorized Semtech channels with full traceability and same production lot controls. |
| SMAJ22A | Standard unidirectional TVS diode; 22V VRWM, 35.5V VC @ 24.7A - clamping rises linearly with current and temperature. | Higher clamping voltage limits use in tight-margin 30V systems; requires larger derating at elevated temperatures. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs clamping stability - not recommended for USB PD or high-temp industrial use. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical function and form) and SMAJ22A (higher-clamp TVS), the S2KW24C-6D delivers superior thermal stability and lower clamping voltage under surge, enabling smaller system-level margins and eliminating temperature-dependent design iterations.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and footprint for S2KW24C-6D?
The S2KW24C-6D uses a DFN-6 package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with exposed pad-less construction. Pin 1 is marked by a laser dot; pins 1–3 are GND, pins 4–6 are IN. Land pattern follows Semtech's recommended 0.30 mm pad width and 0.50 mm pitch - no thermal pad required since energy dissipates in the silicon FET.
Does S2KW24C-6D meet IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity?
Yes, the S2KW24C-6D is rated for 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs waveform), which satisfies IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (±1 kV, 42 Ω source impedance, 0.5 μF coupling capacitor). Its 27.5–28 V clamping voltage at 40A ensures protected downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during full-spec surges.
How does S2KW24C-6D differ from standard TVS diodes like SMAJ22A?
Unlike SMAJ22A - a conventional PN-junction TVS - the S2KW24C-6D uses a triggered FET shunt architecture. This yields constant clamping (~28 V from 24A to 40A), 20 mΩ dynamic resistance, and stable performance from –40°C to +125°C. SMAJ22A exhibits rising clamping (to ~35.5 V) and reduced IPP capability at high temperature.
Can S2KW24C-6D be used on high-speed data lines such as USB SuperSpeed?
No - the S2KW24C-6D has 175 pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz, making it unsuitable for USB 3.x, PCIe, or HDMI data lanes. It is intended for DC power rails (VBUS, 24V inputs) and low-to-medium-speed control lines. For SuperSpeed lines, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25 pF).
What is the maximum continuous reverse leakage current for S2KW24C-6D at 22V?
The S2KW24C-6D specifies reverse leakage current (IR) of 130–600 nA at VRWM = 22V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports battery-powered IoT devices and ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on industrial systems without compromising surge robustness.
