Product details
Overview
SM05.TCT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor 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 ultra-low 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses, load switch inputs, and industrial IoT interfaces where stable clamping under temperature and current stress is critical.
For engineers reviewing the SM05.TCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its constant-clamp behavior across –40°C to +125°C, DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead package with triple parallel input/ground terminals, and FET-based shunt architecture enabling superior surge handling versus conventional TVS diodes.
Technical Context
The SM05.TCT uses a precision-triggered surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a voltage-controlled trigger circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike standard TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant-27.5–28V-across 24A to 40A peak pulse current and over full operating temperature (–40°C to +125°C).
This stability arises from the FET's decreasing RDS(on) under surge, yielding <0.1Ω effective conduction path and eliminating the linear VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN dependency seen in junction-based devices. Its 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz supports use on moderate-speed power/data lines without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC bus voltage it safely guards without leakage or degradation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage thresholds during worst-case surges. |

Pinout & Package
SM05.TCT is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad not required-energy is dissipated within the silicon FET structure. All six terminals are surface-mount; no thermal pad connection needed per manufacturer guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Parallel ground return paths-must all be connected to minimize inductance and maximize 40A surge current handling. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel input terminals tied directly to protected line (e.g., USB PD VBUS)-all three required for rated performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based shunt architecture | Enables near-constant clamping voltage independent of surge amplitude or ambient temperature-critical for reliable protection in varying field conditions. |
| Triple-terminal parallel I/O layout | Reduces trace inductance and distributes surge current across three pins, sustaining 40A without localized heating or bond-wire failure. |
| 20mΩ dynamic resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients and lowers power dissipation (P = I²R), extending device lifetime under repeated surges. |
| 175pF junction capacitance | Preserves signal integrity on 22V power rails while avoiding resonance or filtering issues common with higher-capacitance TVS solutions. |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Ensures flame-retardant PCB mounting in safety-critical industrial and medical auxiliary power applications. |
Applications

Use Value: Delivers 40A surge capability in 1.6×1.6mm footprint-reduces board area by >60% versus discrete TVS + MOV solutions. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 22V supply inputs to NVMe SSD controllers and SAS expanders in ruggedized storage enclosures subject to EFT bursts and conducted surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp on primary power rail, preventing latch-up or gate oxide rupture in downstream PMICs and flash memory controllers. Use Value: 130–600nA reverse leakage at 22V ensures minimal standby current drain-critical for always-on storage subsystems. |
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 1.6×1.6mm package, identical pinout and marking (T22 code), but supplied in 7″ tape-and-reel (3,000 pcs/reel) vs. SM05.TCT's unspecified packaging. | Direct functional match for USB-C, load switch, and industrial 22V bus protection-no design change required if sourcing logistics permit reel size adjustment. | Select TDS2211P.C when volume procurement and automated assembly demand standardized 7″ reels. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 20A IPP rating, 12pF capacitance, SOD-323 package-optimized for CC/SBU lines, not power rails. | Intended for low-capacitance data-line protection only; unsuitable for 22V power bus clamping due to lower surge rating and different thermal design. | Use uClamp2411ZA only on USB-C configuration channel or sideband use lines-not as a substitute for SM05.TCT on VBUS. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C, SM05.TCT offers identical protection performance and pin compatibility but may differ in packaging format; compared with uClamp2411ZA, SM05.TCT delivers 2× higher surge current, 15× higher capacitance tolerance, and power-rail-rated construction-making it the sole suitable choice for 22V bus-level EOS suppression.

FAQ
What is the exact clamping voltage of SM05.TCT at 40A surge current?
The SM05.TCT clamps at 27.5–28V under 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs waveform, 2Ω source impedance), as guaranteed by design and verified across –40°C to +125°C. This value remains stable regardless of temperature or current magnitude within rated limits-unlike TVS diodes whose clamping rises linearly with IPP.
Does SM05.TCT require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No, SM05.TCT does not require a thermal pad. Its DFN 1.6×1.6mm package dissipates surge energy internally via the silicon FET structure, and Semtech explicitly states no thermal pad is needed-even under 40A 8/20μs surges. Ground connections via Pins 1–3 suffice for thermal and electrical performance.
Can SM05.TCT replace standard TVS diodes in 22V applications?
Yes-SM05.TCT is a direct functional upgrade over standard 22V TVS diodes. It delivers lower and temperature-stable clamping (27.5–28V vs. typical 35–42V), higher 40A surge rating, and eliminates voltage drift with temperature. However, its triple-terminal layout requires matching PCB routing-not a drop-in replacement without layout review.
What is the reverse leakage current of SM05.TCT at 22V?
At 22V reverse stand-off voltage and 25°C, SM05.TCT exhibits 130–600nA reverse leakage current. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal impact on system standby power-especially valuable in battery-powered IoT nodes where every nanoamp affects operational lifetime.
Is SM05.TCT compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, SM05.TCT is Pb-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives. Its molding compound carries UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and lead finish is lead-free-meeting environmental and safety requirements for global industrial and consumer deployments.
