Protects against ±15kV (HBM) ESD with very low capacitance (1pF typical). Essential for USB interface protection.\ No newline at end of file+Very-low-capacitance (3.5 pF max) ESD protection array dedicated to two high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0, in a SOT-23-6 package. Each I/O pair steers ESD strikes through internal diodes to GND or the VBUS rail, clamping the transient while adding little capacitance so signal integrity holds at USB speeds. IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 rated. Place it right at the connector across D+/D- with VBUS to the 5 V rail. The default USB port protector.++## Pinout++| Pin | Name | Type | Function |+|---|---|---|---|+| 1 | I/O1 | passive | Protected data line 1 (e.g. USB D+ or D-). Bidirectional signal pin clamped by steering diodes to GND and VBUS; also tied to pin 6 (same net). Typical capacitance to GND 2.5 pF, max 3.5 pF at 1 MHz. |+| 2 | GND | power_in | Ground reference. Cathode return for the lower steering diodes and anode of the internal clamping Zener; must be connected to system ground with the shortest possible trace to minimize parasitic inductance during an ESD event. |+| 3 | I/O2 | passive | Protected data line 2 (e.g. USB D- or D+). Bidirectional signal pin clamped by steering diodes to GND and VBUS; also tied to pin 4 (same net). Typical capacitance to GND 2.5 pF, max 3.5 pF at 1 MHz. |+| 4 | I/O2 | passive | Second bond pad for the I/O2 data line; internally shorted to pin 3. Route the data line to either pin 3 or 4 (or both) as convenient for the PCB layout. |+| 5 | VBUS | power_in | Positive supply rail reference for the ESD clamp (typ +5 V for USB). Provides the upper rail for the steering diodes and is clamped to GND through the internal Zener; VBR = 6 V min at IF = 1 mA. Bypass to GND with a 100 nF capacitor placed close to the device for optimal ESD performance. |+| 6 | I/O1 | passive | Second bond pad for the I/O1 data line; internally shorted to pin 1. Route the data line to either pin 1 or 6 (or both) as convenient for the PCB layout. |++## Key specifications++| Parameter | Value |+|---|---|+| Type | USB ESD protection array (2 lines) |+| Line capacitance | 3.5 pF max (very low) |+| ESD rating | IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 (device level) |+| Leakage | 150 nA max |+| Protected lines | 2 (I/O1, I/O2) |+| Rail | VBUS clamp reference |+| Package | SOT-23-6 |+| Body (L×W×H) | 2.9 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm |++## Ordering variants++- `USBLC6-2SC6 (SOT-23-6, tape & reel)`++## CAD (KiCad official)++- Symbol: `Power_Protection:USBLC6-2SC6`+- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23-6`+- 3D model: SOT-23-6 (KiCad packages3D)++## Provenance++Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:++- **Datasheet:** [STMicroelectronics datasheet](http://www.stm32circle.com/resources/Datasheets/USBLC6-2SC6.PDF) (11 pp, sha256 `e593275721905c80`, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: cse)+- **Extractor:** `ds2sf` (Claude) — every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; refuses to fabricate.+- **CAD:** KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).++[Datasheet PDF](docs/usblc6-2sc6-datasheet.pdf)
