Product details
Overview
BZA408B from Nexperia is a quadruple bidirectional ESD transient voltage suppressor in SOT457 (SC-74) package, designed for high-density I/O line protection. It delivers >15 kV ESD immunity per IEC 1000-4-2, features 70 dB pin-to-pin channel separation, and maintains low diode capacitance (<75 pF at 0 V) for signal integrity in audio/video and data interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZA408B datasheet, BZA408B pinout, BZA408B application, or BZA408B equivalent, key selection criteria include working reverse voltage (±5 V), clamping performance under ±1 kV ESD events, channel isolation in multi-line SCART or USB applications, and thermal resistance (340 K/W) for PCB layout-driven reliability.
Technical Context
The BZA408B integrates four independent bidirectional ESD protection diodes in a single monolithic die, each with symmetrical avalanche breakdown behavior enabling clamping of both positive and negative transients without external bias. Its non-clamping range (−5 V to +5 V) ensures transparent operation during normal signal swing.
Channel separation >70 dB is achieved via internal layout isolation and substrate design, minimizing crosstalk between protected lines-critical for differential or adjacent analog/audio paths. Low reverse leakage (<100 nA) and voltage-dependent capacitance (55 pF at 5 V, 75 pF at 0 V) support high-fidelity signal transmission up to tens of MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | >15 kV per IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge-ensures robustness against human-body-model ESD events in handheld and peripheral equipment. |
| Working Reverse Voltage | ±5 V-defines safe operating window for unclamped signal integrity in 3.3 V/5 V logic and analog interfaces. |
| Peak Clamping Voltage | ≤10 V at 2 A, 1 ms pulse-limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream ICs during surge events. |
| Diode Capacitance | <75 pF at 0 V, <55 pF at 5 V-minimizes signal distortion and insertion loss in high-speed audio/data lines. |
| Channel Separation | >70 dB at 1 kHz/400 Hz-prevents coupling-induced noise between adjacent protected lines (e.g., SCART audio pairs). |
| Thermal Resistance | 340 K/W junction-to-soldering point-guides PCB copper area and thermal via design for sustained surge handling. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74) surface-mount package: 6-lead plastic package with gull-wing leads, 0.95 mm pitch, 3.1 mm × 2.7 mm body size, and 1.1 mm max height. Pin 1 index marked on top surface; marking code "Z8".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode 1 | Anode tied internally to ground; cathode connects to Line 1 for bidirectional clamping path. |
| 2, 5 | Ground | Dual ground terminals reduce common-impedance coupling and improve return-path inductance for all four channels. |
| 3 | Cathode 2 | Clamps Line 2 transients to ground symmetrically for ±ESD events. |
| 4 | Cathode 3 | Provides dedicated clamping node for Line 3; electrically isolated from other cathodes except via shared ground. |
| 6 | Cathode 4 | Enables compact four-line protection without discrete devices-reduces board space and assembly cost. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional ESD suppression | Single device protects both polarities of transient surges-eliminates need for dual-diode arrays or external bias networks. |
| High channel isolation | 70 dB separation prevents interference between adjacent protected lines (e.g., left/right audio or differential pairs). |
| Low-leakage operation | <100 nA reverse current at ±5 V ensures minimal DC loading on sensitive analog or logic inputs. |
| Signal-transparent capacitance | Capacitance drops to 55 pF at 5 V reverse bias-preserves rise time and bandwidth in 10–20 MHz video/audio signals. |
Applications
| SCART Interface Protection | USB 1.1 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting RGB, audio, and control lines in SCART connectors between TVs and VCRs/DVD players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed directly at connector entry point to shunt ESD energy before reaching SoC or codec ICs. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or damage in legacy consumer AV gear while maintaining sub-50 pF loading on composite video and stereo audio paths. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding D+ and D− lines in USB 1.1 full-speed peripherals against user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four-channel suppressor used as two independent differential pairs (D+/D− and VBUS/GND) with shared ground pins. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without degrading signal eye diagram or increasing bit error rate. |
| Medical Monitor Signal Inputs | Industrial Audio I/O Modules |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog sensor inputs (ECG, SpO₂) and digital control lines in portable medical monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor mounted within 2 mm of input jacks to minimize PCB trace inductance and clamping overshoot. Use Value: Maintains ±5 V non-clamping window compatible with rail-to-rail op-amp inputs and avoids false triggering of ADC reference rails. | Use Scenario: Protecting balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs/outputs in pro-audio mixing consoles and stage boxes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel use (pins 1/3/2/5 for left channel, pins 4/6/2/5 for right) with star-ground topology to prevent ground-loop noise coupling. Use Value: Delivers >70 dB inter-channel isolation to preserve stereo imaging and dynamic range in 24-bit/96 kHz audio paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESDA6V1-4W6 | Lower clamping voltage (≤7 V @ 1 A), higher capacitance (110 pF @ 0 V), same SOT457 package. | Better for low-voltage logic (1.8 V/3.3 V), less suitable for 5 V analog lines due to higher loading. | Select when clamping voltage is prioritized over bandwidth; verify signal integrity at target frequency. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Higher ESD rating (±15 kV air/±8 kV contact), lower capacitance (10 pF @ 0 V), but only dual-channel in same footprint. | Requires two devices for four-line coverage; superior for high-speed USB 2.0 or HDMI, not optimized for legacy AV. | Choose for next-gen interfaces demanding ultra-low capacitance; avoid if board space or BOM count is constrained. |
Compared with ESDA6V1-4W6 and TPD2E001DRYR, the BZA408B uniquely balances moderate capacitance, wide ±5 V operating window, and integrated four-channel architecture-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, mixed-signal consumer and industrial equipment where legacy interface compatibility and PCB real estate are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current the BZA408B can handle?
The BZA408B supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current of 2 A with 1 ms square pulse duration per diode, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. This corresponds to a peak power dissipation of 20 W under the same conditions. Thermal derating applies above 25 °C ambient, and PCB copper area must be optimized to manage junction temperature rise during repeated surges.
Can the BZA408B be used for unidirectional protection?
No-the BZA408B is inherently bidirectional due to its symmetrical Zener-like structure; it clamps both positive and negative transients equally around 0 V. For unidirectional applications requiring ground-referenced clamping only, a dedicated unidirectional TVS array such as PESD5V0S1BA should be selected instead.
How does the dual ground pin (pins 2 and 5) improve performance?
Pins 2 and 5 provide separate low-inductance return paths for the four suppression channels, reducing mutual impedance coupling and improving clamping consistency during multi-line simultaneous ESD events. This dual-ground configuration lowers effective series inductance compared to single-ground packages, directly reducing voltage overshoot (V = L·di/dt) during fast transients.
Is the BZA408B compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-the BZA408B is manufactured by Nexperia in accordance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. It is lead-free, halogen-free, and qualified to MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through Nexperia's official product portal.
