Product details
Overview
T6V0S5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional surface-mount TVS diode designed for ESD and transient overvoltage protection in low-capacitance signal lines. It features a 6.0 V reverse standoff voltage, 6.8 V minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 11.6 V typical clamping voltage at 5 A (8/20 µs), <0.05 µA reverse leakage at VRWM, and 90 pF capacitance at 0 V - ideal for USB 2.0, HDMI, and I²C interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the T6V0S5-7 datasheet, T6V0S5-7 pinout, T6V0S5-7 application, or T6V0S5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 5 A surge, low 90 pF signal-line capacitance, SOD523 footprint compatibility, and compliance with IEC61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional clamp, conducting only during negative transients relative to its cathode-banded terminal. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond response time and stable clamping across temperature, with thermal resistance of 417 °C/W on FR-4 board per recommended pad layout.
The device is rated for 300 mW steady-state power dissipation and supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its 0.001 g mass and SOD523 package enable high-density placement on space-constrained PCBs without compromising ESD robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 6.0 V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks before clamping begins |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.8 V min @ 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche conduction onset under defined test current |
| Clamping Voltage | 11.6 V typ @ 5 A, 8/20 µs - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during standardized surge event |
| Capacitance | 90 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - minimal loading on high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact/air - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements |
| Package | SOD523 - 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint with cathode band marking, compatible with automated SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic package with cathode band indicating the cathode terminal. Dimensions: 1.25 mm length × 0.85 mm width × 0.65 mm height; weight ≈ 0.001 g; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive input side of protection path | Connected to protected signal line; conducts surge current toward ground when cathode is held at reference potential |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reference/ground return terminal | Must be tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; defines polarity and clamping direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping architecture | Enables precise protection of DC-biased signal lines without forward conduction during normal operation |
| 90 pF capacitance at 0 V | Preserves signal integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 100 Mbps Ethernet PHY interfaces |
| ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 rating | Meets or exceeds Level 4 ESD immunity for industrial and consumer end-equipment certification |
| SOD523 footprint | Supports high-density routing in portable electronics with 0.55 mm lead pitch and minimal board area use |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI DDC Channel |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting differential USB 2.0 D+ and D– lines against ESD events during hot-plug insertion. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between each signal line and ground to clamp transients while preserving DC bias. Use Value: 90 pF capacitance avoids signal rise-time degradation; 11.6 V clamping ensures downstream transceivers remain below absolute maximum ratings. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI Display Data Channel (DDC) I²C bus (SCL/SDA) from user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance TVS on each DDC line referenced to system ground, leveraging unidirectional behavior for 3.3 V logic levels. Use Value: <0.05 µA leakage prevents pull-up resistor loading; ±30 kV IEC rating satisfies HDMI compliance test requirements. |
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Infotainment I/O |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog sensor outputs (e.g., temperature, pressure) connected to MCU ADC inputs from cable-discharge events. IC Role / Device Role: Single-line TVS on each sensor output trace, oriented to clamp negative transients toward ground. Use Value: 6.0 V standoff allows compatibility with 5 V sensor supply rails; -65 °C to +150 °C operating range supports harsh environments. | Use Scenario: Protecting auxiliary audio/video input pins (e.g., AV-IN, CVBS) in automotive head units from ESD during service port access. IC Role / Device Role: Discrete TVS on each exposed analog input, mounted adjacent to connector to minimize inductance in clamping path. Use Value: SOD523 size enables placement within tight connector keepouts; 300 mW power rating handles repeated low-energy surges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0A | DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); 10.5 V clamping @ 5 A; 100 pF capacitance | Larger footprint; higher clamping but lower capacitance tolerance; suited for less space-constrained boards | Prefer when board area permits larger package and higher surge handling (400 W PPK) is required |
| ESD5Z6.0 | SOD-523 package; 6.0 V standoff; 12.5 V clamping @ 5 A; 100 pF capacitance | Nearly identical form factor; slightly higher clamping; same IEC61000-4-2 rating | Consider if alternate sourcing is needed and 0.9 V higher clamping voltage is acceptable in system margin |
Compared with SMAJ6.0A and ESD5Z6.0, T6V0S5-7 offers the lowest clamping voltage (11.6 V) in the SOD523 footprint, making it optimal for protecting 3.3 V or 5 V logic with tight voltage margins - while maintaining identical board space and assembly compatibility.

FAQ
Is T6V0S5-7 still in active production?
No - T6V0S5-7 is officially obsolete and discontinued per Diodes Incorporated's DS31112 Rev. 14-2 (December 2021). Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports design continuity via verified drop-in alternatives and cross-qualified replacements with validated electrical and mechanical equivalence.
What does the "-7" suffix indicate in T6V0S5-7?
The "-7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3,000 units per 8 mm wide reel, dispensed in every other cavity. It has no effect on electrical specifications - all performance parameters match the base T6V0S5 part, and the "-7" is strictly a packaging designation per Diodes' ordering information table.
Can T6V0S5-7 be used in bidirectional signal paths like RS-485?
No - T6V0S5-7 is unidirectional and only clamps negative transients relative to its cathode. For bidirectional lines such as RS-485, a bidirectional TVS (e.g., T6V0S5U or SMAJ6.0CA) is required to protect both polarities; using this part would leave positive transients unclamped and risk damage.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD523 package limits thermal dissipation: RθJA is 417 °C/W on FR-4 with Diodes' recommended pad layout. This restricts sustained power handling to ≤300 mW. For repetitive surges, ensure adequate PCB copper area and avoid stacking multiple devices thermally - derating is required above +70 °C ambient.
