Product details
Overview
ESD7462N2T5G from onsemi is a bi-directional ultra-low-capacitance ESD protection diode in X2DFN2 package, designed for RF signal line protection with 0.3 pF typical junction capacitance, ±18 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, and 0.05 dB insertion loss at 1 GHz - deployed in antenna feed lines of wireless handsets and NFC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ESD7462N2T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include capacitance linearity over voltage, clamping performance under ±8 kV IEC contact discharge, low leakage (<100 nA @ 16 V), and compatibility with high-frequency RF routing requiring minimal signal distortion.
Technical Context
The ESD7462N2T5G employs a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for bi-directional transient suppression without DC bias dependency. Its capacitance remains stable from 0 V to 16 V reverse bias, enabling consistent RF impedance matching across operating voltage ranges.
Clamping behavior is characterized using both IEC 61000-4-2 waveform testing and TLP analysis (±8 A/±16 A pulses), delivering verified clamping voltages of ≤34 V and ≤47 V respectively - critical for protecting sensitive RF front-end components like LNAs and switches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance @ 1 MHz | 0.30 pF typ - preserves RF signal integrity in 50 Ω systems up to 3 GHz |
| Clamping Voltage @ ±8 kV | ≤34 V (IEC 61000-4-2 contact) - limits voltage stress on downstream RF ICs |
| Reverse Working Voltage | 16 V - supports common RF bias rails and USB 2.0 signal swing |
| Leakage Current @ 16 V | <100 nA - avoids DC loading of high-impedance antenna paths |
| Insertion Loss @ 1 GHz | 0.05 dB - negligible RF power loss in antenna feed applications |
| ESD Rating | ±18 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact - meets industrial and handheld device immunity requirements |
| Package | X2DFN2 (1.00 × 0.60 × 0.37 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) - enables placement adjacent to RF connectors and IC pads |
Pinout & Package
ESD7462N2T5G is housed in a 2-terminal X2DFN2 surface-mount package (Case 714AB), with no internal ground connection - terminals are symmetrical and interchangeable for bi-directional protection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Anode/Cathode (bi-directional) | Connected in series with protected signal line; polarity agnostic due to symmetric avalanche structure |
| Terminal 2 | Anode/Cathode (bi-directional) | Completes ESD current path to GND via PCB trace; requires low-inductance layout to GND plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitance linearity over voltage | Stable 0.25–0.55 pF range from 0–16 V reverse bias - maintains consistent impedance match in variable-bias RF paths |
| Ultra-low insertion loss | 0.05 dB @ 1 GHz - ensures >98.8% RF power transmission efficiency in antenna feed lines |
| Bi-directional clamping | Equal ±34 V clamping at ±8 kV IEC contact - protects against both positive and negative ESD transients without external bias |
| Low dynamic resistance | 1.6 Ω (TLP) - minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD events (tr < 1 ns) |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available | SZESD7462N2T5G - supports automotive infotainment and telematics antenna protection with PPAP capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD7464N2T5G | 0.25 pF typ capacitance, 12 V VRWM, ±15 kV IEC rating | Better suited for lower-voltage RF paths (e.g., 5G sub-6 GHz LNA inputs) | Select when tighter capacitance spec (<0.28 pF) and lower clamping voltage are prioritized over 16 V working voltage headroom |
| CM1213A-03SO | 0.35 pF typ, 3.3 V VRWM, ±12 kV IEC rating, SOD-523 package | Targeted at low-voltage digital I/O (e.g., GPIO, SDIO), not RF signal lines | Choose only for non-RF, low-power digital interfaces where 16 V operation is unnecessary and SOD-523 footprint is preferred |
Compared with ESD7462N2T5G, ESD7464N2T5G offers lower capacitance but reduced voltage margin, while CM1213A-03SO trades RF suitability for compactness in digital-only contexts - making ESD7462N2T5G the optimal choice for 16 V-rated, high-frequency antenna and switch protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by ESD7462N2T5G?
The ESD7462N2T5G has a specified reverse working voltage (VRWM) of 16 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 16 V in normal operation without conduction. This rating ensures compatibility with common RF bias rails and USB 2.0 signal swings. Exceeding this voltage risks premature breakdown or increased leakage, so ESD7462N2T5G must be applied within its 16 V limit in steady-state conditions.
Does ESD7462N2T5G require a DC bias to function as an ESD protector?
No, ESD7462N2T5G does not require DC bias - it is a bi-directional silicon avalanche diode with symmetrical terminal characteristics. Its clamping action activates automatically during ESD transients regardless of polarity or DC offset on the protected line. This makes ESD7462N2T5G ideal for AC-coupled RF paths such as antenna feeds and NFC loops where no DC reference is present.
How does the 0.3 pF capacitance of ESD7462N2T5G impact RF performance at 2.4 GHz?
At 2.4 GHz, the 0.3 pF typical junction capacitance of ESD7462N2T5G presents an impedance of ~220 Ω, which is high enough to avoid significant loading of 50 Ω RF traces. Measured insertion loss is 0.07 dB at 2.4 GHz - well within acceptable limits for antenna feed applications. This low capacitive reactance ensures minimal phase shift and return loss degradation, preserving TRP and TIS metrics in wireless handsets.
Can ESD7462N2T5G be used to protect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed differential pairs?
No, ESD7462N2T5G is not recommended for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) differential pairs. Its 0.3 pF capacitance and 0.10 dB insertion loss at 3 GHz are optimized for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and RF applications up to ~3 GHz. USB 3.0 requires sub-0.2 pF capacitance and <0.03 dB loss at 2.5 GHz to maintain eye diagram integrity - specifications met by dedicated high-speed USB 3.0 ESD arrays, not ESD7462N2T5G.
Is ESD7462N2T5G compliant with automotive qualification standards?
The base ESD7462N2T5G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the pin-compatible SZESD7462N2T5G variant is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. Both share identical electrical specs and X2DFN2 packaging, but only the SZ-prefix version undergoes automotive-grade stress testing and lot-level traceability. For automotive infotainment or telematics antenna protection, SZESD7462N2T5G - not ESD7462N2T5G - must be selected.
