The Texas Instruments TPD6S300ARUKR is a six-channel USB Type-C port protector providing short-to-VBUS and overvoltage protection along with IEC-level ESD protection, in a 20-pin WQFN measuring 3 mm x 3 mm x 750 µm. It works at a 5 V working voltage with a 24 V DC rating, a 24.6 V breakdown voltage, and an 8 V clamping voltage, and absorbs up to 1.12 kW of peak pulse power at 40 A peak pulse current in a unidirectional configuration. The TPD6S300ARUKR has 105 pF of channel capacitance, is rated -40°C to 85°C, and ships in 3, 000-piece tape and reel.

USB Type-C connectors put low-voltage configuration and sideband pins physically adjacent to a VBUS pin that can carry 20 V, so debris, liquid, or a damaged cable can short a 5 V-class pin to the full bus voltage and destroy the port controller. A port protector sits between the connector and the CC, SBU, and related pins to block that fault, clamp overvoltage, and absorb the ESD strikes an exposed connector attracts. It is designed into anything with a user-accessible Type-C port: notebooks, tablets, phones, docks and hubs, monitors, chargers, automotive infotainment ports, and industrial and medical equipment. Buyers are consumer, computing, automotive, and industrial OEMs and their contract manufacturers, typically adding it to pass IEC ESD immunity and short-to-VBUS qualification.
