Product details
Overview
AOZ8212BCI-24 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a two-line bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOT-23 package, designed for ESD and surge protection of 24 V signal lines. It delivers ±15 kV contact / ±18 kV air ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, clamps at ≤40 V @ 2.5 A (8/20 µs), and exhibits 11 pF typical capacitance - ideal for protecting USB, keypad, and sensor interfaces in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8212BCI-24 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include working peak reverse voltage (24 V), low clamping voltage (≤40 V), bidirectional dual-line protection, IEC 61000-4-5 lightning surge rating (2.5 A), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AOZ8212BCI-24 integrates two identical bidirectional TVS elements in a single SOT-23-3 package, each protecting one I/O line against transients from either polarity. Its silicon avalanche structure enables fast response (<1 ns) and low clamping voltage relative to breakdown (29–32 V), supporting robust protection without signal distortion on high-speed data paths.
It operates within -40°C to +150°C junction temperature range, meets IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT ±40 A), and maintains <1 µA reverse leakage at 24 V - ensuring minimal impact on 24 V system biasing while delivering full compliance with Level 4 ESD immunity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 24 V - sets maximum continuous DC or AC RMS voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| Breakdown Voltage (min/max @ 5 mA) | 29.0 V / 32.0 V - defines onset of avalanche clamping; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage |
| Clamping Voltage @ 2.5 A (8/20 µs) | ≤40.0 V - limits transient voltage seen by protected circuit during 2.5 A surge event |
| ESD Contact/Air Rating | ±15 kV / ±18 kV - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, enabling use in consumer and industrial handhelds |
| Capacitance @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 11.0 pF typical - low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on 24 V analog or digital I/O lines |
| Peak Pulse Power (8/20 µs) | 100 W - supports repeated surge events without thermal runaway under defined test conditions |
| Reverse Leakage @ 24 V | ≤1.0 µA - negligible loading on 24 V supply or bias networks in standby or active operation |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package: compact 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm surface-mount outline with gull-wing leads; thermally enhanced plastic body rated for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Line 1 Anode/Cathode | Bidirectional terminal - connects to first protected signal line (e.g., UART TX or CAN_H) |
| Pin 2 | Common Cathode/Anode | Shared internal node - ties both TVS junctions together; must be connected to system ground or reference plane |
| Pin 3 | I/O Line 2 Anode/Cathode | Bidirectional terminal - connects to second protected signal line (e.g., UART RX or CAN_L) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional dual-line protection | Single SOT-23 device protects two independent 24 V signal paths with shared ground reference - reduces component count vs. discrete TVS pairs |
| Low clamping voltage (≤40 V @ 2.5 A) | Ensures downstream 24 V-rated ICs (e.g., RS-485 transceivers, microcontroller GPIO) remain within safe operating area during surge events |
| 11 pF typical capacitance | Preserves signal rise/fall times on 24 V data lines up to ~100 Mbps without measurable jitter or attenuation |
| IEC 61000-4-4 EFT immunity (±40 A) | Withstands repetitive 5 kHz burst noise on industrial 24 V control lines without parameter shift or failure |
| Green RoHS-compliant packaging | SOT-23 meets halogen-free and lead-free requirements per AOS Green Policy - supports global environmental compliance programs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional dual-line TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Single-line, unidirectional; 24 V VRWM; 38.9 V VCL @ 5.1 A; 100 W Ppp; SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm) | Requires two devices + external routing for dual-line protection; higher board area; no shared cathode architecture | Select when discrete layout flexibility is preferred or when unidirectional clamping suffices with external biasing |
| TPD2E001DRSR | Two-line bidirectional; 5 V VRWM; 12 V VCL @ 1 A; 0.8 pF CJ; DRS (SON-6) package | Rated only for ≤5.5 V systems; unsuitable for 24 V rail protection; optimized for USB 2.0 speed | Choose only for low-voltage high-speed data lines - not a functional substitute for AOZ8212BCI-24's 24 V capability |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPD2E001DRSR, the AOZ8212BCI-24 uniquely combines 24 V working voltage, dual-line bidirectional topology in SOT-23, and ±15 kV contact ESD rating - enabling single-device protection of industrial 24 V I/O without sacrificing PCB area or requiring redesign for voltage level shifting.

How many signal lines does the AOZ8212BCI-24 protect simultaneously?
The AOZ8212BCI-24 protects two independent signal lines bidirectionally using a shared cathode configuration in a single SOT-23-3 package. Pin 1 and Pin 3 connect to separate I/O lines, while Pin 2 serves as the common reference - making AOZ8212BCI-24 a space-efficient solution for dual-line protection.
What is the clamping voltage of the AOZ8212BCI-24 under a 2.5 A surge?
The AOZ8212BCI-24 clamps to a maximum of 40.0 V when subjected to a 2.5 A, 8/20 µs surge pulse. This clamping voltage is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and ensures protected 24 V logic or analog components remain within safe operating limits during transient events.
Is the AOZ8212BCI-24 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
