Product details
Overview
TCLAMP3602P.TCT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection of 36V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5V clamping voltage at 24A, 20mΩ dynamic resistance, and DFN 1.6×1.6×0.55mm 6-lead package - deployed in USB PD input protection and industrial load switch front-end circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TCLAMP3602P.TCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated pin-to-ground/input terminal mapping, real-world clamping stability data across temperature and current, and direct alternative part comparisons for 36V bus protection design.
Technical Context
The TCLAMP3602P.TCT 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 threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to decreasing RDS(on) under increasing surge current.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C with stable 27.5–28V clamping across 24–40A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination waveform, RS = 2Ω), maintains ≤600nA reverse leakage at 36V stand-off, and exhibits 175pF junction capacitance at 22V bias - enabling robust protection without signal integrity compromise in high-speed power interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 36 V - maximum continuous DC operating voltage on protected line without device conduction |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 24–40A IPP - ensures downstream ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below absolute max ratings during surge events |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for secondary ESD stages in connector-facing designs |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - enables flat clamping curve and minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at VR = 22 V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal distortion on 10–50 Mbps power bus control lines |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm, 6-lead, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three pins must be connected to maximize current sharing and minimize parasitic inductance |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input; tied together to handle full 40A surge across parallel bond wires and internal FET channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based shunt architecture | Enables <28V clamping across full 24–40A surge range - avoids voltage runaway seen in standard TVS diodes |
| Constant clamping vs. temperature | Clamping remains stable from −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating calculations for thermal margin in industrial enclosures |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ guarantees minimal IR drop during surge - critical for protecting low-voltage-tolerant load switches (e.g., HS2950P) |
| High EFT immunity | ±4 kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50 ns, 100 kHz & 5 kHz bursts) - protects against repetitive switching noise in motor drives and PLCs |
| Small-footprint DFN | 1.6×1.6 mm area saves >60% board space vs. SO-8 TVS solutions - enables placement directly at USB-C or industrial connector |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Input Protection | Industrial Load Switch Front-End |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp on charge/discharge path to preserve data integrity during unexpected power transitions. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids timing skew on 100kHz–1MHz charge control signals - ensures accurate voltage regulation during failover. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS3611P.C | Same FET-based architecture, identical 36V working voltage and 40A rating, but marked for tape-and-reel only (no .TCT suffix); same DFN package and pinout | No functional difference - differs only in packaging format (bulk vs. tape-and-reel) and date-code marking convention | Select TDS3611P.C for high-volume automated assembly; TCLAMP3602P.TCT preferred for prototyping and low-MOQ orders |
| SP1003-36 | Standard silicon avalanche TVS diode; higher clamping (~42V at 40A), 10× higher dynamic resistance (~200mΩ), no temperature-stable clamping | Limited to lower-temperature ambient applications (<85°C); requires larger derating margin for industrial use | Choose SP1003-36 only if cost sensitivity outweighs clamping performance and thermal stability requirements |
Compared with TDS3611P.C, TCLAMP3602P.TCT offers identical protection performance with traceable lot-level documentation; versus SP1003-36, it delivers 14.5V lower clamping and stable operation up to +125°C - making it essential for next-generation USB PD and industrial power systems demanding predictable surge response.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for TCLAMP3602P.TCT?
The TCLAMP3602P.TCT has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 36 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under steady-state DC conditions up to this voltage. This rating aligns with USB PD 3.0 extended power range (EPR) and industrial 36V nominal bus systems. Operation above 36 V risks premature conduction and accelerated degradation. TCLAMP3602P.TCT must not be used on 48V or higher rails without series impedance limiting.
How does TCLAMP3602P.TCT achieve stable clamping voltage across temperature?
TCLAMP3602P.TCT achieves stable clamping by using a precision trigger circuit and surge-rated FET instead of a PN-junction diode. As temperature rises, the FET's RDS(on) decreases, counteracting thermal drift in the trigger reference - resulting in <0.5V variation in clamping voltage from −40°C to +125°C. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 3 of the official datasheet and distinguishes TCLAMP3602P.TCT from conventional TVS devices whose clamping rises linearly with temperature.
Can TCLAMP3602P.TCT replace standard TVS diodes in existing designs?
TCLAMP3602P.TCT can replace standard TVS diodes in 36V applications only if PCB layout accommodates its 6-pin DFN footprint and all GND (pins 1–3) and IN (pins 4–6) terminals are fully connected. Its lower clamping voltage (27.5V vs. typical 40–45V) may require revalidation of downstream IC withstand margins. TCLAMP3602P.TCT is not pin-compatible with DO-214 or SOD-323 packages - mechanical redesign is required.
What is the significance of the ".TCT" suffix in TCLAMP3602P.TCT?
The ".TCT" suffix denotes Semtech's tape-and-reel packaging variant with standardized carrier tape specifications (Embossed plastic tape, 8 mm width, 4 mm pitch), optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly. It includes full traceability, date coding per reel, and compliance with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. TCLAMP3602P.TCT differs from bulk or cut-tape versions (e.g., .C) only in packaging - all electrical and thermal specs are identical.
Does TCLAMP3602P.TCT require external components for basic operation?
No, TCLAMP3602P.TCT is a fully self-contained transient suppressor requiring no external resistors, capacitors, or bias networks. Its internal trigger circuit and shunt FET operate autonomously upon detection of overvoltage. However, optimal performance demands low-inductance PCB layout: short traces to connector, multiple vias under GND pins, and direct connection of all six pins - as specified in Figure 7 of the TCLAMP3602P.TCT datasheet.
