    Hi King,

    By reversing the polarity you would have a negative voltage on the data line and the diode will begin to conduct at voltages above - 0.5 V. This diode could be damaged if conducting continiously during a polarity reversal. 

    If you want to protect an interface like USB from reverse polarity on the data lines, you will need a bi-directional device. 

    Regards,
