Product details
Overview
ESDL3552PFCT5G from onsemi is a bi-directional ultra-low-capacitance ESD protection diode in a 0201 DFN package (X4DFN3, 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm), designed for high-speed data line protection. It delivers 0.25 pF typical junction capacitance, 5.0 V stand-off voltage, <50 nA reverse leakage at 5.0 V, and clamps to 21.5 V at ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge-ideal for USB 2.0/3.0/3.1 interface protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the ESDL3552PFCT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include capacitance linearity over bias (±0.03 pF from 0–5 V), insertion loss (0.26 dB @ 5 GHz), dynamic resistance (<1.0 Ω), and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance (±20 kV air/contact).
Technical Context
The ESDL3552PFCT5G is a three-terminal, bi-directional TVS diode array with Pin 1 and Pin 3 as I/O terminals and Pin 2 as common GND. Its low dynamic resistance (0.58 Ω typ) and fast TLP response enable effective clamping of sub-nanosecond ESD transients without signal distortion.
It operates across −40 °C to +85 °C with a 6.5–11.5 V breakdown range (IT = 10 mA), 14–18 V clamping under 8/20 µs lightning surge (IPP = 2 A), and maintains <0.30 pF max capacitance up to 5 V bias-critical for preserving signal integrity on >5 GHz differential data paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP3203-01UTG | 0.35 pF capacitance, 3.3 V stand-off, SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm) | Larger footprint; suited for lower-speed interfaces (≤1 Gbps) with less stringent size constraints | Select when board space allows larger package and 3.3 V rail compatibility is required |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.8 pF capacitance, 5.5 V stand-off, X2SON package (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm) | Higher capacitance limits use to ≤1.5 Gbps; larger area than ESDL3552PFCT5G but easier handling | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where 0.8 pF is acceptable and automated placement yield is prioritized |
Compared with SP3203-01UTG and TPD2E001DRYR, ESDL3552PFCT5G offers the smallest footprint and lowest capacitance-enabling direct integration into next-generation USB4 and PCIe Gen 5 interposers where trace length and parasitic loading are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ESDL3552PFCT5G?
The ESDL3552PFCT5G is specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature, with junction temperature rated up to +150 °C. This range supports deployment in consumer handhelds, automotive infotainment displays, and industrial edge sensors where thermal cycling and localized heating occur. The ESDL3552PFCT5G maintains its 0.25 pF capacitance and 21.5 V clamping performance across this full range, as validated in onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the ESDL3552PFCT5G support bi-directional ESD protection on differential pairs?
Yes, the ESDL3552PFCT5G provides true bi-directional clamping between each I/O pin (Pin 1 and Pin 3) and the common GND (Pin 2). Its symmetrical I-V curve-verified in Figures 3 and 4 of the datasheet-ensures identical positive and negative clamping behavior, making it suitable for protecting differential signals like USB D+/D− or MIPI D-PHY without polarity concerns. The ESDL3552PFCT5G achieves this with matched dynamic resistance (0.58 Ω) and breakdown voltage (6.5–11.5 V) on both paths.
How does the 0.25 pF junction capacitance of the ESDL3552PFCT5G impact USB 3.0 signal integrity?
The 0.25 pF typical junction capacitance of the ESDL3552PFCT5G introduces negligible loading on USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) differential lanes, resulting in <0.26 dB insertion loss at 5 GHz and preserving >95% of the eye opening in compliance testing. This value is confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 9 (Insertion Loss). Unlike higher-capacitance alternatives, the ESDL3552PFCT5G avoids resonant peaks near 5 GHz that degrade jitter and increase bit error rates-directly enabling pass-fail compliance with USB-IF electrical specifications.
Is the ESDL3552PFCT5G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the ESDL3552PFCT5G is Pb-free, halogen-free, and BFR-free, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles with a peak temperature of 260 °C (10-second duration), as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. Its X4DFN3 package uses matte tin terminations and complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. The ESDL3552PFCT5G's thermal resistance (RJA = 400 °C/W) and 300 mW power dissipation rating ensure reliable performance under typical reflow thermal mass conditions.
What is the clamping voltage of the ESDL3552PFCT5G under IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD stress?
Under IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 contact discharge (±8 kV), the ESDL3552PFCT5G clamps to 21.5 V, measured between either I/O pin (Pin 1 or Pin 3) and GND (Pin 2), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This clamping level is verified using TLP testing and remains stable across temperature and process variation. The ESDL3552PFCT5G achieves this with <1.0 Ω dynamic resistance, limiting transient energy delivered to downstream USB PHY or controller ICs.
