RailClamp

is a low capacitance TVS array designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. This series has
been specifically designed to protect sensitive compo-
nents which are connected to data and transmission
lines from overvoltage caused by ESD (electrostatic
discharge), CDE (Cable Discharge Events), and EFT
(electrical fast transients).
The RClamp1624T is specifically designed to protect
portable devices that utilize a uUSB port. The unique
design of this device features low capacitance TVS
diodes for protection of the USB data (DP, DM) and
USB ID pins operating up to 5 volts. Loading capaci-
tance on these lines is <1pF for maximum signal
integrity. An integrated 12 volt TVS diode is used for
protection of the USB voltage bus. This ensures the
device will remain in a high-impedance state during
normal USB operation or when the battery is being
charged. Leakage current of the VBus protection is
<50nA when operating at 12 volts.
The RClamp1624T is in a 6-pin SLP1710P4T package.
It measures 1.7 x 1.0 x 0.40mm. The leads are
spaced at a pitch of 0.4mm and are finished with lead-
free NiPdAu. They may be used to meet the ESD
immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2.
